Indeed, this is why MAD Magazine is in the Warner/DC fold. Bill Gaines sold it to Kinney, but stipulated that he hold absolute control over it. Which he did until he died, after which it was subsumed into DC's control.

Well, happy Charles Darwin is “very poorly today & very stupid & hate[s] everybody & everything” to all who celebrate, because he wrote those words in a letter to his friend (and author of Principles of Geology) Charles Lyell 161 years ago today

Mad props to the great Joe Morton finally making his #StarTrek debut this week in the incredible "Orders of Magnitude." Joe Morton is THAT GUY! From "The Brother from Another Planet" in the 80s! To Miles Dyson in "Terminator 2." To Henry Deacon in "Eureka." Plus, a hundred other things. Legend. #SNW

I have received news of a perfectly named cafe located on the waterfront of Nova Scotia's capital, if you know what I mean
"Broken Man cafe" sign on a big plate glass window, through which one can see cafe tables and chairs and backs of people's heads. In the distance, a sign indicates that this is Pier 22 on the Halifax waterfront

There is definitely something wrong with me. I’m learning Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy for my new ensemble and I am so, so sad for the bass and guitar player who got drafted into the army during wartime just because one fucking trumpet payer was sad because he couldn’t jam.

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.
Two cats on a platformed tower. One is on the lower level, head hidden behind the middle section. The second is on the top tier with only their head showing.

Every now and then I will mention that I converted to Judaism (36 years ago next week!) but grew up evangelical. And every now and then I mention my astonishment that today's evangelicals are absolutely uninformed as to how what they seem to hold dear today horrified their previous generation.
