Growing up, who was your favorite teacher, and why?

What did you want to be when you were 5 years old.

Maybe one day we should run a “worst of Salty” letters special?

No.

No, you meant something VASTLY more stupid. You meant that if this exact same movie somehow came into being with a completely different director yet without one thing changed about how it’s shot, written, presented, etc., I would give it a much worse review because I’m so beholden to giving Ava DuVernay a pass.

Oof. Fixing.

Of the items you listed, only almonds and orange juice are something people might have every day and the OJ has WAY more

Well, they didn’t exactly “take it” since the thing that made DoodleChaos’ video cool and is that .. he actually did it in Line Rider. The movie trailer reference doesn’t look to steal the “oh fuck that’s impressive” nature of his video since it’s obviously deliberately key-framed. Surely there’s nothing inherently

You are killing it on the special projects desk. I love the metaphor of Big Blue, which used to mean IBM. It shows how much, and in what direction, the world has changed, and yet how some things stay the same.

this is a perfect comment and I thank you for it
