Did any other Elder Millennials grow up with Woody Woodpecker basically being on the same tier as Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny… and now wonder what happened to him?
Or did I just watch a lot of really crap TV?

"Guess who?" Woody Woodpecker made his debut 85 years ago today (Nov. 25, 1940) opposite Andy Panda in the animated short "Knock Knock.” Created by Walter Lantz and Ben Hardaway and originally voiced by Mel Blanc, Woody has since appeared in film, TV, comics, and as mascot for Universal Pictures.

Bsky has done a wonderful job of celebrating the creation of MST3k, but I had to add this. This was from the Cinematic Titanic tour, and it was also my 28th birthday.
Tonight, I have reason to hope that our not-too-distant future will be better.

I have had several jobs, paid and unpaid, that required training on potential child abuse situations.
The policy is always exactly the same: At the very first sign of abuse, you REPORT IT to the police.
No strikes.
No consulting.
No using your ‘best judgement’.
Report it.
Why is this different?

I waited until this game came out to buy my N64. Not only was it a great way to start the system, it gave me plenty of time to enjoy the last of the SNES.
Still prefer Majora’s Mask, though.

The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

Sorry, GameStop… but Timmy and Tommy perfected the “pay money for literally anything” business model. I don’t think you can take any of that market share.

I remember when being “on the zoom” meant you were driving someplace fun, and I think we need to be mad at office work for ruining that phrase for us.

We are well past the point where our culture can support the practice of letting people get away with abuse because they have a certain title or office.
If someone says something fucked up, you tell them. Doesn’t matter who it is. Not anymore.
