I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

This short (The Big Snooze, 1946) is probably one of the ten best cartoons ever made. Take it from me: a freak of nature.

I really blocked this part of the movie from my memory but it's been a long time.
Does it hold up?

I’m still thinking about Bari Weiss saying that Hasan Piker (extremely popular influencer) is less of a measure of where Americans are than Alan Dershowitz (extremely unpopular Epstein associate, his own neighbors won’t sell him a pierogi)

OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

New pricing tiers at national parks based on who you are and where you come from is EXTREMELY Nazi stuff
The Trump administration is raising national parks' prices and adding fees for international tourists from next year in an "America-first" initiative, the Interior Department announced.
Trump admin hikes national parks prices by up to $170 for international tourists
The Interior Department said the "America-first" policy will see "resident-only patriotic fee-free days" on some holidays.

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Jim Henson studios would be wise to lean into this idea and do a full series of Muppet cinema/theater adaptations, all with McCorkindale's art as Criterion Collection-style DVD covers. I'd lead with King Lear (biased b/c it's the commission he did for me) or 12 Angry Muppets (a personal favorite).

People often ask me what I would do with a billion dollars?*¹
The obvious answer is remaking "Seven Samurai" shot for shot but with Muppets.
Bruce McCorkindale's art gives a hint of how wonderful and important this film would be.

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."
