Hollywood is making an Erik Prince biopic, but this is a great primer:

Who is Erik Prince? Narrated by Mo Amer @nowthisnews

My May 2018 story hits a lot of the content w/source links:

Erik Prince is all over the map. Literally. From DC to the DRC, Prince keeps pitching new ideas — to privatize wars, to Frontier Services Group’s Belt and Road plans, to rebranding Blackwater

And Hollywood really is making an Erik Prince biopic...

Bolsonaro Takes Aim at Brazil’s History - he has denied Portuguese colonizers were responsible for slavery & blamed Africans instead, he rejected 1964-1985 military dictatorship (he served) was a dictatorship, he said Nazis were “without doubt” leftists

Starting to watch the "Crypto" movie. First impressions: They've gone through about eighteen film company logos during the intro. How many does it take to make a dumpster fire full of inaccuracy? At least a dozen, by my count.
Here's some teaser screens...

And, first scene: Shady meeting with guys in a white van. This is how all crypto exchanges start. Really, if you ever use LocalBitcoins, you're going to meet a couple of guys in a white panel van at some point.
So the van guys just pulled a handcuffed guy out of the van, and he's wearing a black hood. They take the hood off, and it's Steve Bannon!

the wolf whomst enjoy to sleep outside
lantern hiss nearly inaudible over the sound of the lake doing its best seashore impression
when I turn the lantern almost all the way off, it emits a blue-red glow from the mantles barely being warmed by the short blue flames inside. when the wind gusts, it flickers to yellow life briefly.

just now one side went out and was relit by the other with a small "fump"

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

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.
