Found this fun video on how famous historical figures would look like now with a modern haircut and cosmetics. It's not a complete fantasy, based on historical paintings, sculptures and contemporary descriptions.

so my eldest brother, who is a moron, has been playing soldier with his moron friends in the deserts of texas for the last year preparing for the collapse of civilization if biden won (lol). they were burying food and ammo stashes out in the desert, running drills, crazy stuff








locking two people with marital strife in a house with no supplies, no access to power, but plenty of access to guns and ammo seems like a great idea. i think this should work out great.
just to give you all some additional comfort: his wife is part of the group who helps select the textbooks texas buys every year, just in case you're wondering about the kind of people that make those decisions.

A bit of social media drama from earlier today. Marjorie Green seems determined to alienate all of her colleagues.

Don't forget, it was not only cartoons. The music for the Lone Ranger was The William Tell Overture (if I remember correctly). And although Bugs would make fun out of Leopold Stokowski, Stokowski DID work with Disney.
Thanks. Those were fun memories from when I was a stupid little kid, glued to these cartoons :)

They forgot this classic. The fact that a live orchestra is performing to it shows the memorable impact it had.

I always remember "kill the wabbit".

Freud would have a field day with that clip. I'll just leave it at that.

And of course, who can forget the great episode in which Beavis and Butthead sing Bizet's The Pearlfishers a Capella...
