So some of you want me to do more voice recordings and I’m just going to BAIL OUT ON THAT by posting this clip of my animation class messing about last year. Someone made a die out of cardboard and we ended up using it for games of keepie-uppy and they got quite extravagantly bonkers.
We also had steeplechase ping pong down the tables with ring binders and cups as obstacles.
CA78 was the best class ever man. BEST. CLASS. EVER.
It had all been fun and games,
but then they took out Mr. Reed.
Someone had to bring law back to this rusty old town, and they’d do it the hard way if they had to.
SO THIS KIND OF GOT OUT OF HAND REALLY FAST also I imagine that Sam was doing the dishes when the Sheriff Spine came to recruit him so he just left the apron on because he would be the darned best barkeep in the West y'all.
Obviously inspired by this wonderful thing :3
The animators are taking turns to stand against the wall and be shot at with a rapid firing gattling-style nerf gun.
Meanwhile, the serious topic of debate with our current board is precisely how violently you can hit someone with a pillow in a pillow fight without it being deemed as violent.
This is what constitutes a normal day for us.
I “performed” this “dance” for video reference of this kid in episode 302 of Avatar, “The Headband.” I rarely shy away from making a complete ass of myself in the name of fun, so I thought I’d share this with you guys. This was taped back in 2006, but I think my back still hurts.
Ladies and gentlemen
the reason I want to become an animator.

ACTA passed one of the several voting gates it needs to get through before becoming law.
It was ratified in Poland last night. This was the scene at Polish parliament afterwards, as (presumably) a bloc of anti-ACTA politicians expressed their displeasure and, perhaps without knowing it, foretell of the Anonymous repercussions to this bill.
Some things you should know:
- Online petitions are meaningless. While they are well-intentioned and organized, the signing of a digital petition takes about twenty seconds, and does not require that you leave your beanbag chair in the coal cellar. Politicians know this, and pay just as much attention to online petitions as is warranted by a “political action” that is literally less strenuous than leaving a YouTube comment.
- Nothing except direct action is going to do a goddamn thing. This means getting out in the street, it means DDoSing, it means vicious and widespread boycotts, site blackouts, and other strongarm tactics that actually impact the flow of money from corporations to lobbyists to politicians. How do you, as a tiny flailing consumer, do this? You can’t, really. You can join up with groups that are intent on doing actions that actually mean something, adding your voice to a chorus of hundreds or thousands, instead of screaming alone. You can contact celebrities, the spokespeople of our time, as ask them to leverage their followers on the issue. You can write to Tumblr and ask for more blackouts. None of these things will be very effective, so don’t be too disappointed when they don’t work, but they sure as fuck are more effective than online petitions, and the intense response to SOPA by corporations and consumers was responsible for getting it “tabled” (not dead, but dreaming lies).
- ACTA was already signed by Obama in September of 2011. He had been praising the bill for over a year prior, and signed it without reservation. Most of us didn’t hear about it, and he likely used the 9/11 coverage to make sure of that.
- Eventually, one of these bills will pass, and the pro-corporate laws will go into effect. Expect it. Be prepared. Learn to circumvent this garbage and you’ll have a leg up when the feds shut down the internet as we know it.
- The best thing you can do now is install Tor and learn how to use it. Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis. In order to circumvent the coming corporate takeover of the web, we’re going to have to go underground, creating a sub-internet of encrypted nodes known as a “darknet”. It’s probably going to be like the internet was in the beginning, with most people only seeing what AOL wanted them to see, and only a small group of super-nerds existing outside of that bubble in the “real” internet. It’ll take another twenty years for them to catch up to us again.

Online petitions are meaningless.
Online petitions are meaningless.
Online petitions are meaningless.
Online petitions are meaningless.
Online petitions are meaningless.
Well, there goes all my hope now.
It’s sad and I really didn’t want to reblog it,
but seriously people just prepare for the worst.
…
Welcome to the grim cyberpunk future.
FUCK YEAH BLADE RUNNER BITCHES.
Hate having to put this bummer material up but like these guys have said, just in case, and, you know, I love you guys.
Also, Poland? You are fucking boss.
