“By Word of Mouse” is a Warner Brothers cartoon I watched as a kid. Perhaps it had more of an influence on me than I realized, beyond Hawley Pratt being the layout artist.

This video cuts out part of the cartoon in an attempt to keep YouTube from deleting it.
This video includes the parts about Microeconomics that are missing. The 1950’s emphasis on mass production and consumption doesn’t mention the corollary, planned obsolescence.
I’m in tough shape and laying low for the duration. A tooth extraction isn’t an appendectomy, but it’s still surgery. By the end of the lengthy procedure, the dentist was scraping infection out of my jaw bone. I’m taking an antibiotic to clear the rest of the infection. My jaw hurts from having kept my mouth wide open for so long, and I’m wondering if I had a negative reaction to receiving so many Novacain injections.
Saw my dentist this morning. I’ll be back there at 2:30 to get #19 pulled. The dentist said it would be a waste of money trying to save it.
Follow-up: It’s done. A painful and difficult, but successful job. Remind me to take better care of my teeth when I’m younger.
The Department of Homeland Security must be having trouble finding applicants for this job if LinkedIn’s AI considers me a good candidate for it!
Now here’s a job I know I’d enjoy doing.
Note that not all 70mm showings of Oppenheimer are in IMAX theaters, as is the case here. The interest, care, and attention to detail that is taken by Radioactive Drew isn’t necessarily shared by all projectionists. Not even for the limited number of IMAX showings, as happened at a theater in Canada.
So, what did I think of Oppenheimer? My short review is, I was hoping for another Dunkirk, and it isn’t.
I would like to see it again, this time in digital IMAX, but I’m not sure if that will be before or after I have a lower molar extracted this week. It depends upon whether or not I change my mind and decide to see Barbie instead. 😉
Yesterday, I commented that my 5,000+ blog posts aren’t as many as stars in the galaxy. They are, however, as many as the stars that can be seen with the naked eye at night. So said the late physicist Richard Feynman.
Feynman was one of the young scientists who developed the atomic bomb. You can read about his time working at Los Alamos in his first memoir, Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman.
