“You know when something barely works one time, and it is only by the grace of god that everyone involved is not permanently financially ruined? Well, would it make sense to try that thing a second time, willingly subjecting yourself to the obvious risks a second time?”

I’ve been to Popeye Village. It had been a dream of mine ever since I read an article in the WSJ, back in the 90's. A few years ago, I was backpacking through Europe and ended up in Malta, so I went.

Broadcast TV stations needed weekday afternoon programming, and back then it was whatever cartoon they could pick up on the cheap (Or “Our Gang” or Three Stooges shorts, another thing that has faded into obscurity).

I mean it was a dumb post but he explained what he meant within the post.  I don’t see how he can be blamed because people chose to stop reading after the first sentence.

I think Kate should lean into it and just keep releasing progressively more and more ridiculous photoshops.

It’s actually a Doki Doki Panic movie but reskinned/redubbed to be about Mario.

Mario Teaches Typing is finally getting the Fincheresque reimagining it was always meant to have!

Sour grapes never seem to be out of season.

Imagine being so fragile and pathetic that you’re jealous of a good boy!

People working for companies and corporations being upset at a beloved dog, for being itself and charming people, is an apt symbol for the state and soul of modern capitalism.

I can’t imagine how huge his funeral must’ve been. Must’ve been over 9,000.

I’ve seen that so many times.

The Aristocrats!

he has created iconic music (I am a mega John Williams fan) but is by no means worthy of comparison with the great classical composers. He writes great themes, but has never composed anything remotely as profound or complex as, say, a Beethoven symphony or Mozart opera. And I’ve listened to his non-Hollywood work too,…
