Am I the only one who read that and said “Lorena McKennit?”? Yes? Ok, I’ll show myself out. #damnoldpeople

And I really wonder what justification they have for redacting everything.

My kid (6yo) loves Radiolab. Topics can be all over the place, so I skip episodes that seem too adult or else be prepared to pause the podcast to have a nice long conversation about, say, what AIDS is and how it spreads. (That happened in the excellent “Patient Zero” episode which is one of the all-time best.)

Or musical arranger extraordinaire Carl Stalling.

Man, I loved this. All I can say is that the final section reminded me of a Barthelme quote.

Frankly, post war Warner Bros. animation was just an absurd collection of talent and genius. It is hard to write anything about Warner Bros. cartoons without leaving someone out.

Also, that sequence from Rabbit Seasoning is so perfect. I have watched it like.... over 100 times, and I laugh every fucking time at

Don’t forget Michael Maltese! I firmly believe Maltese is just as much a genius as Jones himself.

As a Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies super fan, this brings me so much joy. Chuck Jones is one of the best joke writers of all time and he could do it with minimal or no words.

This is great work, Albert.

“All lives matter” is the smarmiest, most disingenuous erasure of a movement that malicious and clueless white people could have come up with. To apply this to Dr. King, his work, or his life is almost violent in its untruth. Fuck this parade of assholes in the ear.

For years—decades!—all everyone wanted was a way to pick and choose the cable channels they wanted. Just pay for the stuff they liked, and nothing else. That’s all. That couldn’t be so bad...

Johnny Carmax: yo, what’s up?

a. That’s pretty amazing (and pathetic, IMO) for a high-end brand, from a super-high-end dealer like Kerbeck. If I see you hitchiking on 73 I’ll be sure to pick you up, assuming you’d be OK with slumming in my Mazda 3.

For old times sake.

Godspeed, good sir. And good luck.

So long and thanks for all the tips!

Well, I certainly don’t approve of what they did but you know, Republicans are always saying they want immigrants to really embrace the American way of life.

I've driven seven different 100 hp cars, so collectively....?
