He (or his brother? Literally cannot tell them apart) sat behind me at a hockey game last year. It was one of the worst aggressive and obnoxious sport-related experiences I’ve ever had.

I’ll preface this story: I don’t usually like big parties, and I’m not usually this big of a trash fire. It was a really shitty time for me, and I had a lot of pent up energy inside that needed somewhere to go.

Animation takes a lot of collaboration with a lot of people, and it can take about a year to make an episode. Voice actors have to enter a studio that has an engineer and possibly a voice director. If they’re professional voice actors, they will be doing that at MANY studios, which becomes a risk to the engineers and

Former coffee shop cashier: Oftentimes, an owner/manager will allow X number of free drinks to regular customers per day. The folks who tipped regularly were the ones who the ones who frequently received those free beverages. Make that eye contact and say “thank you” as you drop that buck in the jar. (Or do it in

Animation feature artists on Twitter? Maybe. Animation television artists on Twitter? Definitely not for kids. Instagram is your best bet for wholesome, behind-the-scenes, kid-friendly content from the animation artist community.

Not enough stars.

You can. He’s been on Game Shakers for the last few years.

Correction: There was a made for TV movie of Legends of the Hidden Temple. There are, however, new episodes of Double Dare.

How many signatures would one need on an online petition to get “Snake, Rattle ‘N Roll” up there? ...asking for a friend.

I know more people who went to SCAD than people who went to CalArts in the industry. Guess it depends on where you work.

Read this for an independent film company in like 2012. Passed on it then, would pass on it now.

Our checks used to say -$0.00 if we made “too much” in tips for the week and our $2 an hour didn’t cover the taxes on the tips we made. Nothing like tax season for someone who lives on reported tips...

At least he lets you near him when you’re sick! My Larry Dadvid won’t even let me near his house. Like if I drove by and had a cold, he’d insist the next week that my mere presence in the atmosphere is what got him sick. But yes, that is super, super annoying. We’ll work on group meeting hours.

My dad also looks and acts exactly like Larry David, but this is one of his favorite shows. We should have a support group.

Guffawed at Twister. Thanks for the morning laugh.

We were taught at The Gap (circa 2001) to ask shoplifters if they’d “like a belt to go with those pants” or a suggestion for a matching shirt. It was in the videos we watched at the start of employment. Anything that told the person we knew they had something, but we were not allowed to accuse anyone of shoplifting.

Golden Road Wolf Pup Session IPA. It is perfect for a hot day/evening, and at 4.5%, it’s not going to knock you off your face, but it’ll give you a nice little buzz.

At one coffee shop I worked, we had a customer (who I called “Mute Richard Gere” — have no idea what his name was, but shoutout to the tall bespectacled man who always got a traditional americano and a lemon blueberry muffin heated for exactly :33 seconds.) Dude didn’t tip daily, but every once in a while, he’d just

SAME. But also, his twitter feed this week has made me feel like someone should do a home check...
