Happy Birthday to Sid Caesar! (08 September 1922 - 12 February 2014)

[zombimanos]

Back when television was new, Mel Brooks used to write for Sid Caesar. 1 of the very 1st shows was so popular it got cancelled, cause it was made to sell tvs but the brand of tvs went out of stock. I'm floored by Caesar, who would memorized new sketches every week like this.

Like how the hell do you memorized all these words every week with brand new material and then such a brilliant performance while doing it. & do it again & again every week. The man was untouchable. It's just amazing to watch (these very old shows shouldn't even be available, but they've been found).

40 Years Ago: "My Favorite Year"

40 Years Ago: “My Favorite Year”

Well, not MY favorite year of course but that of this semi-autobiographical film’s main character. This film was released on October 8, 1982, 40 years ago today. The titular annus mirabilis was 1954. My Favorite Year is not “my favorite movie” but it is certainly A favorite, and my buddies and I watched it together numerous times both in the cinema and when it came out on video. We knew that it…

Inspired by Darwyn Cooke's iconic Batman & Robin illustration, and the New Batman Adventures.

Stayed gone but vox narrates his passive aggressive insecure ass scrolling text from the bottom of his broadcast 👊💥📺

watch for this as you scroll social media this evening:

israel today dropped a bomb on a refugee camp located in rafah, which, as a reminder, had been sold as a safe zone.

remember that this camp is made of tents, not buildings. this strike was dropped directly on families in the dead of night, with no shelter to protect them. many people have become trapped by the burning tents. we don't have a death toll yet, but it's likely more than 50.

the images coming out from this attack are among the most graphic we have seen out of gaza. do not look them up unprepared.

Percy “I am impertinent” Jackson really looked Zeus dead in the eye and said “Your family is a mess”

because here's the thing here's the thing the question was not "would you be more surprised to run into a fairy or a walrus" the question was "would you be more surprised to find a fairy or a walrus AT YOUR DOOR" and while no, i do not believe in fairies and would be surprised to know they EXIST i would NOT be surprised to find one at my door. HOWEVER, if a WALRUS shows up at my door i have to contend with the fact that a walrus somehow made it to my apartment specifically and knocked on my door for god knows what reason. i would be more surprised to know that a fairy EXISTS, of course, but NOT that they're at my door, do you get me?
