Happy to share an excerpt from the first issue of the new Ape Sh*t zine by @monkeywire.bsky.social out this week from @orbooks.bsky.social www.welcometohellworld.com/the-bizarre-...
Spot-on-analysis, brilliantly written.
I wrote about the broader political situation and stupid incentives that led to a Senator attempting to advance his political career by falsely accusing Jack Smith of attending a February Atlanta Hawks game in which Clint Capela put up a double-double. defector.com/jack-smith-e...

Great thread showing how contemporary influence operation works:
1/ I've just finished a new investigation, and it's a biggie! If you've seen The Levantine, Diplomatic Post, Global Reporters or Frontline Radar running ads on LinkedIn or Meta, you've seen an influence op pushing one side of Sudan's war to millions. 🧵 marcowenjones.substack.com/p/from-north...

The wolf-sheepdog setup is totally underrated in the pantheon of WB cartoon hilarity. I guess the pathos of the coyote and the simplicity of the setup are why the roadrunner shorts get all the love, but these feel so much cleverer, with just as much physical comedy.
Sheep Ahoy, the 1954 Merrie Melodies short that reveals that the wolf and sheepdog are part of larger workforces.
#RonaldSearle had an interesting relationship with St. Trinian's - the perverse cartoons made his name and opened many doors for him, even brought him a measure of national celebrity. But he grew tired with the idea and felt himself pigeonholed. He was only too happy to "destroy" the school in 1952.

Delightedly surprised by The End of Oak Street, the first 70-odd mins really crackle with great story choices and character beats, though the last 30 sagged for me. Dinos a mixed bag, some v accurately portrayed (I presume), others ludicrous. Can't wait to hear @chasmosaurs.bsky.social's thoughts!

I spent all of June shitting my guts out, lost 20lbs in 4 weeks (not fun!), spent a night in hospital (also not fun!), and had to beg to get an expedited colonoscopy. The results were inconclusive and the MDs can't be sure what caused my torment but in my heart of hearts I know it was the Donarrhea.
