Hey everybody, Spice says let's go!
That's Spice, a tiny little dog, he's saying (in captions, as this is a still photo) "Let's Go!" This is from "Passover in Puppettown," the Passover-themed episode of Chic-A-Go-Go, the greatest public access show ever made.

Kinda think that Krassner got the email address through those connections but that he was using it to troll Epstein. Like, he sent him a LOT of anti-trump emails/fwds and I'm not seeing any actual responses. Who knows, but I think Krassner spent the last two years of his life mocking Epstein.

"Let WLIB-AM's Eye Opener, Chuck Stephens and his gorilla 'Big Boy' help start your morning off right..."
An ad for WLIB-AM's Chuck Stephens and his gorilla "Big Boy" - "Aptly described as New York's only singing disc jockey, the former Kansas City Conservatory of Music buff, proves the Inner City Sound is the best way to greet the day."

From an article in The Atlantic 40-some years later: "Things could be made right if he would issue a statement saying he had been 'duped' into signing. 'But I wasn't duped. I WAS against Jim Crow!"
"Though the show was a hit, his sponsors – Manor House coffee – were nervous about Terkel’s politics. ‘I had signed my name to all kinds of petitions in the thirties and forties,’ he explained. ‘I was against Jim Crow, for rent control, for ‘Friendship With Our Wartime Ally’ – the Soviet Union. Some of the originators and circulators of those petitions were Communists or fellow travelers: the enemy within, in the early fifties. A deputation from his sponsors called on him. Things could be made right if he would issue a statement saying he had been ‘duped’ into signing. ‘But I wasn’t duped. I was against Jim Crow!’ It wasn’t principle that kept him from recanting, he said. It was vanity: ‘I was too smart to be a dupe!’ He was blacklisted from both commercial radio and TV. And of course it was principle.”

Newspaper ad for Studs Terkel's TV show "Studs' Place" and for its sponsor, Manor House Coffee - which would soon take the show off the air bc it didn't like Terkel's history of supporting Civil Rights, rent control, peace with the USSR, and other progressive causes.
The cast of Studs' Place, with really weird text from the ad company representing Manor House Coffee promoting the show/the coffee: "We'll bet you 2 lbs of McLaughlin's Manor House Coffee that you'll think 'Studs' Place' is one of the best programs on TV. What a howl of protest went up not long ago when 'Studs Place' lost its time on one of the networks. W.F. McLaughlin & Company, a client of ours, put it on WENR-TV and there was loud rejoicing. All the critics joined in - every single one. Even Fred Allen cheered. Now 'Studs Place' isn't like anything else on TV. No murders, no psychological dramas. Just pleasant, heart-warming fun. Amusing, unexpected, it features those four characers you see above: Chet Roble, Studs Terkle [sic], Win Stracke, and Beverly Younger as Grace. (You'll love Grace!) We think you'll like it. So we suggest this: See 'Studs Place' three times just to be sure you get the flavor of the program and know the characters. Then if you don't agree that it's one of TV's better shows, write us a letter about it. Tell us why. Bang will come two pounds of wonderful McLaughlin's Manor House Coffee. You can't lose either way." Woof.

Studs Terkel on Reagan: "I've got this hearing aid. Ronnie Reagan has two. Of course, there's nothing in between his."

All rats love punk
Ratso of Chic-A-Go-Go, the greatest children's TV show ever made, tells Gary Burger of The Monks that "All rats love punk." Ratso is a puppet. A rat.

lololol it sure seems like the suburbanite blaming George Soros for the protests of Chicago's military is more of a "person who makes pornography" than a person who "works in casino marketing"

lol perfect "a suburbanite who works in casino marketing"
But Larry Goone, 59, saw the immigration officers and protesters differently. He was riding an electric fat-tire bike to the lakeshore when he came across them. “I saw these [officers] being completely heckled on the river and I just yelled out to them, ‘Hey, I appreciate what you’re doing,’ because most of Chicago does want this,” said Goone, a suburbanite who works in casino marketing. “These people just are doing their jobs.” Goone praised the officers for going after “illegals for coming here illegally.” What did Goone think of the protesters? “This here is organized by George Soros and antifa, and I wouldn’t doubt that half are being paid to protest,” Goone speculated without any evidence. “I don’t understand what they’re doing.”

Let MF Doom write the ad copy
MF Doom lyrics, from the Prince Paul song "Chubb Rock Can You Please Pay Paul the $2200 You Owe Him": "Never underestimate the next man's thirst It could be way far worse than a whole jar of Starburst Mmmm, he keeps those by the pound load Emcees run from common locations like download I think it's rather spectacular How they come out they neck, bite and suck like Dracula In case you just tuned in, once again We're here with the Supervillain, known as hip hop's Gunga Din"

"but it is not bad for Pittsburgh"
A VERY patronizing capsule review of "Night of the Living Dead" that asserts it is "not as good as the cultists claim, but it is not bad for Pittsburgh," and asks "The ending is heavy, but what does it mean?" Lol I'm sure whoever wrote this spent less time writing that capsule review than I did typing out the alt text just now.

Lucy loves her brush.
Lucy the cat - the world's greatest cat tbh - looks like she is getting a bit emotional at the gentle brushing on the top of her head. What a perfect angel.

Gotta say that I'm real curious about Wanda right now
A sign from a grocery store door reading "Wanda is NOT ALLOWED inside the store." I feel bad for any employees that have to deal with nonsense but I hope that Wanda is doing okay.

Lucy’s helping out with lunch.
Lucy the cat on her hind legs, her front paws on the oven’s handle, like a little lady trying to peer over the counter. She’s so talented.

David Cronenberg with a really big smi... Wait a second...why is this a million times more unsettling than any of the pics where he's, like, covered in blood or posing with a monster or something?

No Star Wars for David Cronenberg. "Well, it's flattering to be considered," Cronenberg says.
A pic of DC from a Toronto paper, captioned "No Star Wars for David Cronenberg." The newspaper story, about Cronenberg being considered as a possible director for "Revenge of the Jedi" bc the folks at Lucasfilm liked "Scanners." Didn't get the job though, but that's okay bc he made Videodrome instead.
