@KareauxLine Been the same for the past few weeks. I mean in terms of work, it's not as bad... I guess my brain knows I need to earn money, lol. But for myself, I am just doing nothing.
The helplessness of Bahujan women invisible, endless, and breaking 💔
She is begging, touching his feet: "Please leave the cylinder, otherwise my kid will die hungry."
While they are laughing at her helplessness.
I mean, I don't have an ounce of love for this nation.
People have exactly a two-week limit on their sympathy. When you first break down, everyone is supportive. But if your depression lasts longer than a fortnight, they get incredibly annoyed.
You are not allowed to have long-term struggles. Society expects you to have a quick, cinematic breakdown, cry it out over the weekend, and bounce back to being productive by Monday.
The exact second they realize your depression isn't just a temporary mood swing but a constant struggle, the "take all the time you need" energy completely vanishes.
They stop checking in and start treating your mental state like a deliberate character flaw. You aren't struggling anymore; you are just "not trying hard enough" or "choosing to be miserable."
JUST IN - Spain’s Prime Minister, on the ceasefire, says Spain 'will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket.”
Sure, your eyes aren’t tricking you. That clip looks better than the new trailer, and the reason has nothing to do with talent. The VFX supervisor on Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014? Jerome Chen. The VFX supervisor on Brand New Day? Also Jerome Chen. Same person. Completely different system around him.
In 2014, Chen had 50 effects artists at Sony Imageworks, the largest VFX crew the studio had ever put on a single project. They handled about 1,000 of the film’s 1,600 VFX shots on a $255 million budget. The crew shot on real film (not digital), on location in actual New York City, scanned Times Square with 36,000 photographs of over 100 billboards, and built physical lighting rigs on set so the CGI would match the real world.
Now look at how Marvel makes Spider-Man movies. No Way Home had 2,500 VFX shots spread across 12 studios and about 3,000 artists. The budget was $200 million, $55 million less than TASM2 despite having 56% more VFX shots. Digital Domain, one of the VFX vendors, was delivering final shots days before the December 17, 2021, release. They kept reworking shots into mid-January, after the movie was already in theaters.
Zoom out, and the math gets worse. Marvel released 6 films between 2008 and 2012. From 2023 to 2025, they pushed out 7 films and 7 TV shows. The Hollywood union representing VFX workers reported that Marvel pays artists about 20% below industry average and staffs one person where other studios hire three. Artists described 64-hour weeks and breakdowns on the job. Then, in February 2025, Technicolor, the parent company of MPC (three-time Oscar winner for Life of Pi, The Jungle Book, and 1917), collapsed almost overnight. 4,500 jobs gone globally. The studio had been actively working on Disney and Paramount films when the lights went out.
Brand New Day has four months before release, and trailers routinely show unfinished shots. But the gap between a 2014 Spider-Man and a 2026 Spider-Man has nothing to do with technology going backwards. The industry has been asked to do three times the work for less money per shot while its biggest studios are going under.
"Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it."
Spoken like a true rapist.
I’m an Indian.
“PM” Modi DOES NOT speak for me.
I stand with Palestine.
We are witnessing the erasure of a culture and a people. And the Indian government is becoming more and more brazen about their support of those responsible.
Screw that.
When Nirbhaya happened, I was in second year and my grandmother was terminally ill. All of us TURNED up. In the chilly Delhi winters along with our moms and aunts. My mother used to pack paranthas for us , a bunch of 5 girls and my younger brother, and come with us to India gate. Solidarities were formed , laws were changed. Women felt like citizens.
And today, we watch helplessly. Crying and scared. Being dragged being punished.
🚨 Two strong women. Helpless. LIVE on television.
Trisha 😢: A survivor who fought for years - now dragged, silenced, abandoned.
Sonal breaks down on air.
The system has failed all of us 💔
I want to point out that the person who attempted this drawing now has gotten more virality and more respect from artists for at least attempting this vs all the AI bros posting their dumb slop
Long story short. Just try. And if people making fun of you for trying, we will rally behind you
