All Angelenos who get to LAX by public transit still experience this by guestimating when trains and buses arrive using ancient tomes

I think smartphones are ruining our lives but also if I had to go to the airport in 1998 with just my wits & a subway map I’d kill myself

@PAWDrawsart Thank you!!

@thisisgoblin @mexopolis I completely understand. I will always prefer to negotiate first and escalate later, that is what we do with the ghouls. (In that case I wish we had escalated more, but our strike-able productions were already shriveled)

If someone wants to scab they will be treated as one.

[Pinkie Davis @PinkieToons]

@thisisgoblin @mexopolis We did not. It was devastating. I personally was holding out for a strike but that is not what we as a union had decided on democratically- we TA’d, and our body voted yes. It is unacceptable, but so was what the AMPTP was countering, and I still prefer we speak face to face.

[Pinkie Davis @PinkieToons]

@thisisgoblin @mexopolis I know, I was on the negotiations committee last cycle and I was in AMPTP meetings, group caucuses, and calls drafting/adapting proposals 9am-2am most days. An open channel for dialogue needs to be there for our own peers. If he doesn’t want it, he will be remembered as a scab.

[Pinkie Davis @PinkieToons]

@IMAO_ I can already do that bro

[Pinkie Davis @PinkieToons]

@allisonperryart @wierdalliecat I agree, cowards will do it in your email or DMs with an anonymous sock account. Not sure if it’s still a thing because I know better not to look, but /co/ can be a cesspool of people making an edgy joke and shut-ins taking it too seriously.

Re: “my family is getting death threats”
Many fans of animation are deeply mentally unwell and will do this over less egregious actions. I want to give Jorge opportunity to explain himself but implying those with opposing opinions would want to do that is ad hominem.

[Pinkie Davis @PinkieToons]

@KeyJay115 Why blame people’s work for being a victim of theft and regurgitation? All films are being fed to the machine regardless of how appealing you find them.

[Pinkie Davis @PinkieToons]

@tom_paints @R_YayOFFICIAL I doubt it as there hasn’t been an audience for this and the AI tool they are using was attempted at other studios and is not completely usable in our animation pipeline yet. Big turning point for sure though.

[Pinkie Davis @PinkieToons]

@ArtofSpongebob @R_YayOFFICIAL 100%. It is an institutional betrayal more than it is just cringe or unfavorable.

[Pinkie Davis @PinkieToons]

When people want to argue with me in favor if AI usage in production pipelines but don’t know my lore

@LoloFennec Most people are expressing it in a normal way.

[Pinkie Davis @PinkieToons]

It sounds shocking, and it shouldn’t be normalized, but it is a bit of emotional manipulation to bring it up when rational people are upset with you.

I have gotten death threats just for working on a production fans don’t like, and for being gay working on a kids show.

[Pinkie Davis @PinkieToons]

@thisisgoblin @mexopolis It’s always worth giving opportunity for conversation instead of immediately burning a bridge.

[Pinkie Davis @PinkieToons]

@AlexAlexstich @mexopolis Unfortunately this will happen with strange mentally unwell fans over almost anything they dislike. I don’t think it was a fair thing to bring up when acknowledging an opposing view.
