what if i started hanging out on here again would that be crazy or what
about 6 months ago from web-
@liquidusmira would be.
-
@awl hey good to see you again. it's been awhile
-
@liquidusmira yes. Much has changed
-
-
wait so many of you still exist on here what. what
about 6 months ago from web-
@dezzierose What "what"? lol
-
@scribus its been a decade my brain is having trouble processing it
-
@dezzierose that's what i'm saying

I really, really wish I could just never have to drive again

@scribus i just had to spend $1500 to fix my car so same

this site needs to get about 20% cooler

@liquidusmira ah, that should be fine then, i guess

@liquidusmira the real silk song is the friends we made along the way

I love when Dan Harmon says something mean about Trump and people start bringing up that time he humped a baby doll in a Channel 101 sketch ten years ago.
Friday, 14-Aug-20 23:55:20 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation people have tried to cancel him like every single year but nobody cancels Dan Harmon better than Dan Harmon himself imo
-
@tiff I really thought he’d have left or been ousted from Rick & Morty by now but watching Roiland’s solo show helped me realize that Dan Harmon isn’t the hero he asked for, but he’s the one we deserve

The plan was to finish it and then sit on it until the announcement so that I could release it that night.
Tuesday, 11-Aug-20 22:36:13 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation It would still have worked if he chose someone else, just do a South Park Canadian job with a photo coverup, fill in the dialogue with obvious Simpsons Superbowl overdubs, it'd be a riot!
-
@scribus I’m going to /probably/ have two mostly-similar cartoons sitting unlisted on my channel come November, one for a Biden win and one for a Trump win, and then I’ll just release whichever one matches up with reality. Would be nice to finally be the topical one.

“We will win at least a few states, some of them perhaps by decent margins!” -President Trump
Friday, 07-Aug-20 21:19:53 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation 50% of white people, per Newsweek, :eyeroll:
-
@scribus eh, that's not exactly uncommon for a Republican, if anything it's a little low. McCain had 55% of whites in 2008, and he lost the election by a bigger margin than any candidate of the 21st century. No Democrat has carried the white vote since at least 1964, and maybe even before that, the data only goes back to 1976.
-
@mrmattimation Yeah, but I'm not really concerned about the historicity of the GOP, though. This jackass may be lower than other old white jackasses have been, but when 50% can agree, even in a straw poll, with (vague sweeping arm gesture)? It's more the revelations about the national psyche than it is old stats and current prognostications. I just grew up inherently skeptical of The System, but still -- I used to be able to believe in People, as a whole. This administration has shattered my faith in anything other than entropy. I always kind of knew I was "Brown eyes watching from a White perspective," but the other white faces used to only sometimes let their hatred show. Now, they seem to be hiding even their former pretense of humanity in favor of letting their hate flag take full mast. And... damn, man. Just... damn. I want it over. And I'm almost ashamed of what I'd be willing to do to End it, capital-E.

And I feel bad, sometimes, because I say "religious nuts." I don't mean to say all religious folk are off in any way. I mean specifically to refer to the subset of religious people who take it to a nutty degree.
Saturday, 01-Aug-20 22:50:51 UTC from web-
@scribus I was raised catholic and still to this day abide by a somewhat Christian lifestyle and i know 100% what people mean when they say “religious nuts”

the president’s new “serious” leadership style lasted literally 24 hours, I’m dead
Wednesday, 22-Jul-20 22:34:13 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation I think I missed the entire thing
-
@scribus he gave a very “somber and serious” press conference where he refrained from blasting the media, and he stayed off of Twitter for about 48 hours where all he did was retweet campaign and White House statements and, in one instance, encourage the Senate to pass a bill that the leaders of both parties already publicly endorsed. His next press conference was, of course, a total appleshow. I imagine his new campaign manager was behind the changes and I imagine he’ll be fired very soon.

there was an old person fight today and we had to call the police, and I’ve only been at work for half an hour

@mrmattimation Mask v Virus or ?
-
@scribus two people, straight-up eighty years old, start scuffling when the get off the bus. Idk who started it but they were each saying the other one shoved them. They were yelling and pushing each other and one of them started demanding we call the police and then when the police came suddenly the dude didn’t speak English and we had to get a Chinese-speaking cashier to interpret and at some point in the translation his story changed and he said nobody shoved anybody, she just fell. Nobody got arrested but I’m pretty sure the lady’s gonna press charges cos they’re neighbors and they have to see each other every day.

@mrmattimation Yikes

I need a pack of non-filter cigarettes for a video shoot (no, seriously) and nobody in this damn hippy town sells them. >:C

@mrmattimation Well, in CA anyway, they have a whole variety that I don't understand, but I know there are "100s" or something that means it's extra-long, and the paper tears easy enough. Not sure it'll be exactly accurate, but I suppose de-filtered could pass for unfiltered if done cleanly. X-Acto blade, maybe even.
-
Hell, I coulda called this one three years ago https://time.com/5868739/trump-election-results-chris-wallace/ Ol' Swampy Don says he refuses to say if he'll accept the election results in November.
Sunday, 19-Jul-20 19:12:41 UTC from web-
@scribus This stuff is why I hope Biden’s lead remains as it is or grows. If he wins with a vote share that’s closer to Bush 2004 than Obama 2008, Trump will litigate every close state and throw us into a Supreme Court headache even worse than Bush v. Gore.

http://rainbowdash.net/url/875568 great now i gotta figure out what all of the in-between background buildings house. beyond the grocery store and the liquor store the only other business i knew for sure would be in the plaza were a Five Guys parody (not pictured, across the street) and an Irish pub which serves as the setting for an unfortunately large amount of the show.
Thursday, 16-Jul-20 06:44:50 UTC from web-
(the pub is also not pictured, it's going to be a unique building so it's still being modeled, but it's gonna go on the left end to cap out this row of buildings)

@mrmattimation Know how they've got that Last Blockbuster? You could have the last Wherehouse lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wherehouse_Entertainment

*not actually for real this time, he hasn’t filed any of the paperwork and he’s straight-up too late to get onto the ballot in some states.

@mrmattimation Great now I need a detox
-
@scribus one of the things Biden has going for him is that he’s running against a maniac, if it was Biden vs Romney then Kanye would probably run off with a Ross Perot sized vote haul that ultimately would change nothing but would make him feel like he did something.

was about to joke about how like 50% of Always Sunny will get thanos'd but i googled it and how are netflix only removing a single episode lmaoo
Monday, 29-Jun-20 23:18:47 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation sure is
-
I know that they're pulling an episode of Community for implied blackface, and without even reading into it I know the exact scene they're talking about and I sincerely do not believe that a single person with any stake in societal progression watched that scene and thought it was actually a problem
Monday, 29-Jun-20 10:45:08 UTC from web-
@tiff Similarly, I’m pretty sure pulling an episode of Golden Girls is not especially high on BlackLivesMatters’ priority list.
-
@mrmattimation I dunno how far exactly I'd go to defend these sorts of jokes but pretty much every example I can think of is pretty obviously a subversive criticism *of* blackface. Obviously I am not the person who can/should decide if that makes it more okay, but I feel like removing these scenes is stifling discussions of anti-racism if anything. Like just put the disclaimer in front like WB and Disney or whatever

in the mood to chase someone off the site again, quick someone say something headass

@mrmattimation I would prefer it for future reference if POC actors got to voice POC characters, especially in the current industry where they aren't getting the same treatment or opportunities as white people; but I absolutely agree that this current wave of networks removing TV episodes with instances of racism and actors conveniently regretting voicing POC roles all of a sudden is largely posturing in the absence of actual willingness to, you know, hire and support and pay POC. I also don't think it's a particularly far reach to suggest that companies are just pretending this is what activists are asking for as some sort of psyop, since it will most likely push the needle back in their favour (i.e. still not hiring, supporting and paying POC)
-
I gotta say, blocking would-be constituents is a really great way to keep losing elections.
Sunday, 28-Jun-20 01:20:38 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation The rep for Corona keeps blocking constituents on Twitter, I've heard it's unconstitutional
-
@scribus iirc the ruling was that government accounts (which includes Trump’s personal account, due to some records act that encompasses both his and Obama’s Twitter history) are public forums and therefore cannot block people, but PRIVATE political accounts are not. IE, the state party can block users because the party is not affiliated with the government, and “campaign accounts” (which most Reps tend to use instead of their office accounts) can do so as well.
-
@mrmattimation I see. I figure, screw twitter anyway. The internet needs a cleansing fire. One day, the impure will be destroyed. One day, the Users will return. #tronlives heh

@mrmattimation I always found a Carl's Jr bacon biscuit and hash browns was the best fix
-
@scribus I’m such a boring Fluffle Puffin drunk too, I didn’t do ANYTHING regrettable besides get sick. Never drinking again.

@mrmattimation I don't blame you, even I rarely even have a beer anymore.

Keep thinking about how papayaed the animation industry would be if this Covid thing happened in the 80s or 90s or even in the early 2000s.

@mrmattimation I bet Disney would have been pitching the isolated campus model
-
@scribus There is PRECEDENT for something like that, bits of I think The Lion King and Pocahontas were animated remotely after an earthquake temporarily shut down Disney’s Glendale campus, but there’s no way it would be able to be coordinated on a large scale long term basis pre-digital era. Al Jean said that he encouraged staff at the Simpsons’ relatively new in-house animation studio to work from home well before California’s stay-at-home orders and work wasn’t slowed in the slightest in spite of that. Could not have happened twenty years ago.

-
Good news, I didn’t have to lock the doors. Not sure what that would have done anyway, the doors are all glass.
Sunday, 14-Jun-20 22:38:16 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation No roll-down shutters or pull-out gate or anything?
-
@mrmattimation Pretty sure my buddy's Rite-Aid has them, I seem to recall his apocalypse plan involving locking up the ground floor and living on the roof. Which was the same one I had for the PennySaver when I was there... and out of, like, so many movies.... What was I getting at? hehh

there’s a protest happening in front of my store tomorrow, and I support that, but if anybody starts looting I’m going to go apepapaya

@mrmattimation Company's property, just like it's the bank's money. :p But I genuinely hope it remains peaceful. Thinking of jumping in outside of your shift?

Every now and then the guy who tried to molest me when I was in middle school comes into my store. Awkwaaaaaard.

@mrmattimation Peer or elder? (Like either way is even remotely tasteful...)
-
@scribus Peer, slightly older, we went to school together. I’m pretty flippant about it because “tried to” is a key phrase, I was fortunately able to recognize what was going on pretty quickly and remove myself from the situation.
-
@mrmattimation Yeeeeesh, that's still gotta be weird.
-
-
And I feel like the asshole for sitting here and watching them, after first shouting, then yelling, then cursing, then fuming, then apologizing, but I swear to god I have tried to grow something for years with setback after bullbanana failure and right now these goddamned gourds are about the only thing I have going for me in my life and I swear if anything happens to them I will jump in the pool wearing ankle weights

@scribus Do this with a few wooden poles or metal tubes and some wire. You can also use it as a support to lay a nylon or wire mesh on top if you expect hail. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875532
-
@nerthos Yeah, I'd thought about it for shade, but it didn't turn up necessary. Now that they're done, I expect that's it. They basically butchered the trees. :-/
-
@nerthos But ultimately, the question is, is it so goddamned hard to look where you're dropping kiwi? Or keep your customer's mess in their yard? Basic respect. Show one move's worth of forethought for those around you.

So do I cut the scene in The Twin Souls 5 where civilians start looting or nah
Saturday, 30-May-20 22:42:19 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Guess it depends on whether or not the looting is a joke.
-
@scribus I don't think I'm capable of doing anything without making a joke about it (ie episode 4 had a very frank and real discussion about suicide with the subtext being that I, the creator, am depressed, followed immediately by a joke about it) but the scene as it currently exists is not a "joke"

@mrmattimation For decades a lot of countries have voting by mail. There are real world numbers how insignificant the frauds are. Also not giving people the opportunity to vote is soooo democratic.
-
@mrmattimation It's damn welcome, but I feel too little, too late.
-
@adiwan We’ve had states IN THE US that have been majority mail-in voting for YEARS before Covid. It’s just that they were all Republican states like Utah and Arizona. Wasn’t a problem before. Now that everyone else is doing it suddenly it’s an “invitation” for voter fraud. BS.

Two dozen people (including many children) fired up the grill and partied in plain sight of my window this afternoon. Because of those idiots we have all to suffer.
