People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

He did the voices for every male cartoon character in Coyote Vs Acme except for Taz. I'm glad he got to see how much people loved his final film role.
Just saw on Instagram that Eric Bauza, the Canadian voice of countless Looney Tunes characters, has suddenly passed away. This one really hurts. He was so lovely and talented, and knowing he came from Toronto — and even meeting him at local events — meant a lot. RIP.

The reason we don't have good universal poison antidotes anymore is because we're giving goats too many sodas.
Bezoar stones can form as a result of GLP-1 use and soda is known to be an effective treatment of bezoar stones, so now I desperately need someone to do a study to see if fewer bezoar stones occur in Utah due to increased soda consumption This is a post about Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
