The one in the den—that everyone had to pass by you to get to the kitchen—so they could make fun of you on the other side of the door… and now everyone wonders “why do you hate talking on the phone?”🙄

I volunteer for my union (motion picture costumers local 705). Working small politics can be satisfying—small asks that can be solved, taking on larger problems in small bites

I would like to offer that early Looney Tunes were based on slapstick and vaudeville.

I watched the most current batch of Looney Tunes, and it was a sitcom.

I don’t know many kids who want to watch office politics over seeing Wiley E Coyote running off a cliff. Looney Tunes had a broad appeal

I would have also accepted Jager bombs or Fireball

I started rewatching Chico and the Man recently, and that theme is pure joy
