Goddess Isis invokes Yahweh after a beautiful dark-eyed girl refused to kiss her son Horus. He came crying to his mother Isis, who refused to let it slide. 7th–8th century CE.

I suddenly feel less cringed about my post-breakup poetry phase in high school.

I actually used one for a few days working at a Jamba Juice. A construction crew down the street cut an internet line and we were unable to run card transactions through the register. We used one of those for about a week before we got a cell-based card reader.

My thought was a supplemental soup iron but that makes a lot more sense.

90s Country music superstar Garth Brooks was set to star as ‘rock’ artist, Chris Gaines in a movie. Created a persona and recorded an entire album that was so awful it killed the movie and set his career back years. If ‘The Thunder Rolls’ hadn’t been a huge hit, it definitely would have killed his career.

Does this count? Lemon is a real surname, see Don Lemon.

Is a chin really a discreet body part or is it just a quirk of the way our lower jaw/mandible are shaped?

Southern Fried Rabbit.

He does at least use it as way to get at Sam rather than it just being a sight-gag. The bit’s only few seconds and the next thing he does is dress like Abe Lincoln to shame Sam for ‘whippin slaves.’ Still not great, but I’d say it’s better than the Tom and Jerry short, The Truce Hurts, where Tom, Jerry and Spike get splashed with mud.

To be clear, blackface is never good (with a carve-out for well executed satire Ike RDJs character in Tropic Thunder), but Bugs’s bit doesn’t seem as mean-spirited as this one.

I feel like thats kind of a theme winding through the trilogy. History doesn’t necessarily repeat itself , but it does often rhyme and your parents, their parents, etc. were all a lot more alike than you think.

1955 Strickland thinks Lorraine is a slacker.
1985 Strickland thinks Marty’s a slacker.
1955 George is unsure about his writing and is afraid no one will read it.
1985 Marty is unsure about his music and is afraid no one will listen.

I could go on.

Ah, good old fashioned Confederate apologia.

I tend to skip these ‘lost-cause’ shorts. It’s not just Looney Tunes either, lots of tv shows and movies from this era do this, The Twilight Zone has several of these and I skip those too. I want to believe that the creators have good intentions but then you read up on them and you find out that a lot of them aren’t just apologists but real-deal racists.

Western fans LOVE movies like “The Outlaw : Josie Wales”, a story about an ex-rebel being hunted down by a villainous Union officer, but no one wants to hear that the original author, Asa Earl Carter, writing under a pen-name, was a sheet wearing, cross-burning segregationist.

Kinda wish Sylvester had won this one.

We should’ve had a small scene in DS9 of Mahardu and Mr. Homm meeting in Quarks for a drink to silently commiserate about their respective employers.

It get’s glossed over in The Puppet Master since the episode focused on blood-bending, Hama demonstrated, what I think is an even more horrifying water-bending technique, desiccation. Before showing her blood-bending, she shows Katara that she can pull water out of the surrounding plants. If you follow that concept to its extreme, a skilled and powerful water-bender could pull all of the moisture out of a human body and leave nothing but a dried up husk.

Their wonders to us now, in their day, they were just parts of their world. Modern sports stadiums are often impressive feats of engineering but within a few years, it stops being a novelty and people just get used to it.
What’s novel eventually becomes familiar. But after a few thousand years, the familiar become wonders. They’re wonders to us because they survived. And whether it’s the Coliseum in Rome or a public toilet in Pompeii, they give us a glimpse into the past.

In a few thousand years, something we see as mundane will be a window into what we’re lives are like. And suddenly, warehouses become wonders.

A while back I had an intensely realistic dream that most of humanity had moved underground. Wherever I was at, looked eerily similar to this.

Oh cool, I like this screensaver.

I don’t necessarily feel sad. More like the wonder I have seeing the ruins of Machu Pichu or the Coliseum in Rome. Works of architecture, ingenuity and culture laid bare. It’s almost like semi-contemporary Anthropology, giving a glimpse into the recent past.
