Two years ago I made one of my final threads on the Twitter. I'd like to reproduce it here, because this is the better place. On Oct. 25, 2022, I lost the best cat. His name was Raimi (after the director). He was 11. Cancer and a host of other issues that all came on at the same time.

I had a joke about Cassandra, it’s hilarious, but only to me.
I had a joke about Ananke. It was inevitable. I have a joke about Chronos but I'll tell it at another time.
I had a joke about Sisyphus that made me pretty happy. Rbuthl (roll boulder up the hill laughing.)

Honestly we'd be a much better world if all art from over fifty years ago were just available for free instead of locked behind pay-to-watch streamers, overpriced home video releases, or just non-existent beyond piracy. Public domain takes too long and copyright owners usually suck.
After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.
