The Assassination of Yogi Bear By The Coward Boo-Boo Bear

Also — what the hell is this? Who made it? Where’d they get the CGI budget?

I love this guy’s theme song.

Also, the villain’s clothes (at the three-minute mark).

Everything Is Terrible!: THE BALLAD OF SHOTGUN JONES

“The bill repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell didn’t fail: The Senate did. The bill got 57 votes, not 49. As Dylan Matthews pointed out, a procedural failsafe that’s theoretically meant to protect the rights of minorities was just used to restrict the rights of minorities — which is how it’s always been, of course.”

Ezra Klein

Truth. Filibuster reform now.

Bonus: Allowing clear majorities to actually implement their policies will do a great deal toward demystifying politics and engaging the average voter. (If you care about such stuff.)

Actually, I’d be in favor of just abolishing the Senate. But that ain’t happening.

Lemmy, wise

From an interview with The Quietus:

INTERVIEWER: Do you think there could still be anything today for kids, teenagers growing up today that would have [the same impact as rock and roll at its beginning]?

LEMMY: There will be, but we won’t like it. And that’s just as it should be.

Rosey Grier, crafty dude: Roosevelt “Rosey” Grier played defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Rams from 1958–1962. During this time, he began to embrace his softer side by taking up the hobby of macrame and needlepoint. In 1973 a book was published published on the subject entitled Rosey Grier’s Needlepoint for Men. Via Jessica Hopper’s Twitter feed.

Hot damn, this is awesome. Sun Ra does “Pink Elephants”!

sonraw:

This is possibly the illest thing I’ll ever post on this Tumblr. The infamous “Pink Elephants on Parade” sequence from Dumbo synced to Sun Ra (the ORIGINAL Sun Ra, AKA one of the inspirations for my whole steez)’s cover version of the same song. One of the greatest Psychedelic animation sequences of all time (OF ALL TIME! and made in 1940 to boot!) along with music from one of Jazz’s greatest free-thinkers and space-cadets. LOVE IT.
