This come about 80 years too late for the thousands of victims of Elmer Fudd-inspired mass murderers
Hopefully writers can now explore the countless other aspects of the vast, complex, always-intriguing personality that is Elmer Fudd
I think at this point "reboot" is just a synonym for "necrophilia"
Let's do lunch, HBO
It's about time we stop glorifying violence in cartoons and video games and movies, and start glorifying it in the streets where it belongs

It's now been more than 24 hours since The Lancet retracted the HCQ-COVID study.

Quick questions for network / cable news / newspaper outlets: How many minutes or column inches did you devote to the study when it came out? How many will you devote to the retraction?
As far as I can see, there has been a handful of perfunctory, bloodless mentions of the retraction by major US news providers, none mentioning their previous coverage of it.

Oddly, the press elsewhere (UK, Europe, India) seems to treat it as if it's quite newsworthy.
I dunno, I think there might be some kind of interesting 10 minute between-Polident-ads segment on corrupted research in the highest tiers of medical journal during a global pandemic, and self reflection on how media contributed to its spread.

Haha! I kill myself sometimes.

The greatest cinematic masterpiece in history IMO
Featuring my late pal Norm Grabowski, billed here as Woo Woo Grabowski, playing a character named Woo Woo Grabowski. He was straightup robbed of an Oscar
as an extra bonus it also features Norm's seldom seen Model T tub hot rod, although it is driven in the film by John Carradine

If you mean my old world where peer reviewers for the 2 leading medical journals in the world pause to check on the validity of an out-of-nowhere 3rd party data source before hitting "publish," you probably have a point
We really need to have an talk about the visceral reactions to the Lancet/NEJM retraction saga. I'm sorry if I've laid off the fart jokes for a few days to burrow down on this, but it's important and says a lot about how politics has utterly welded us to our priors.
On the one hand, there are people who are so doggedly committed to the proposition that Dr Drumpf's Snake Oil Suicide Pills created mountains of corpses around the world, no retraction or evidence to the contrary will dissuade them.
