The Prelinger Archive is such a treasure trove. Where else could one just stumble upon a promotional film produced by the Detroit Police Department in 1951, for example? archive.org/details/ThisIs…
Or this gem, about how to embrace the logic of the post WWII job market. archive.org/details/HowtoK…
I stumbled down this rabbit hole because I went looking for a historical analogue to this Twitter account which seems to be a real thing. As in, Jeff Bezos appears to be paying an employee to tweet nice things about him and his company.
Or maybe this is just a really happy employee doing this out of a genuine love for the company? Given the use of the company logo, it appears as if this is part of their job description. Which is shocking because, I mean, srsly, who would find this convincing in 2019?

1. Here's the thing about conservatives, "religious freedom," and their support of institutions that discriminate against LGBTQ folks. These same conservatives espouse shredding the social safety net and having those services provided by private charities, like churches.
2. So on one hand they say "these are private, religious entities and they should be allowed to live by their values." On the other, they say "public, secular institutions that provide services like education, assistance to the homeless, abortion counseling, etc." should be cut.
3. So if conservatives get their safety net shredding way, there are many communities in which discriminating churches like the Pence's will be the only place a hungry, homeless, or otherwise needy person can go. It's already the case in many localities, esp. red ones.

Just a theory, but plausible. Helps explain why he fought tooth and nail against Christie’s transition plans. He never thought there’d be a transition.
Also squares with the reports that both Melania and Karen were freaking livid on election night. Melania cried. Karen angrily rebuffed a congratulatory kiss and said “You got what you wanted Mike.”
Back in March 2017 I was struck by how disinterested the entire Trump clan was in actually governing, and wrote up this thread speculating that the POTUS run was 1st and foremost a branding/business move (w/ an eye on Russian capital), not a political one.

Re-upping this in light of recent revelations. A full 18 months before Trump announced he was running for President, an advisor to the Minister for Economic Development in Russia was tweeting about a possible Trump presidency. Perhaps just idle chat amongst business associates.
She was in the news back in February 2018, that's when I stumbled across this tweet. Interestingly, this English language account, which had been very active, went largely dormant after mid-February. She also now has 150K fewer followers.
She's still a big fan of Putin, unsurprisingly given that she works for his ministry of economic development. And she's also excited about resetting the US/Russian relationship along lines articulated in Helsinki.

(1) #AboutStrzok This is #PeterStrzok . He is in his 40s. He works for the #FBI . He was the only person to interview @HillaryClinton , with no recording, on her #HRCEmail investigation .
(2) #AboutStrzok How many #STRZOK family members are there? There are only 100 total Americans out of 300 million with this name . You can Google this. #PeterStrzok must be unique in such a small family, right?

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
