LWT is usually good, but this episode is a standout and worth watching if you don’t already know about the chaotic, and therefore cruel way states administer lethal injection. its only role is to sanitize state-sponsored killings for *us.* so *we* don’t fully register the horror.

Chuck Jones' Rule 8. "Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote’s greatest enemy."
The trolley problem. The road runner is on one of the trolley tracks, and Wile E. Coyote is in charge of the switch.

When he throws the switch, the trolley falls vertically through the tracks. A trick of the perspective means he is actually underneath, not beside the track, so he is flattened by the trolley.

Wondering about linguistics: apart from the short track racing definition, when y’all call a car “late model” what exactly do you mean?

He would be smart to frame it as “retiring from full-time competition” but if he were smart he wouldn’t have said all that stuff

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

what is it specifically about pavement short track racing that attracts people who don't know how to draw the line between "expressing displeasure" and "doing a crime"?

Anyway I never got the argument that drivers would start crashing less if someone beat them up for it because frankly you absolutely could not stop me from doing something I think is good by punching me a few times. Let’s just use penalties like it’s a real series run in a functional society.
