Maybe a special drink or two made from the ancient ones’ last remnants could’ve helped Charlie out here!

How core was Lovecraft's intense racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, etc. to his writings and stories? That is to say, would Lovecraft likely still have written in the ways that he did and would all of his stories likely still have turned out the*

*Ways that they did, if he hadn’t been such a deeply bigoted, hateful person during his life?

March 16th, 1913: A full-page Dream of the Rarebit Fiend comic strip created by Winsor McCay from the Los Angeles Sunday Times

I‘ve always loved the surrealism, humor, and color of his comic strips, and this one is certainly no exception!

Are there any legal limits on how many generals, admirals, and other military leaders in the United States that the Defense Secretary and President of that country are allowed to unilaterally fire?

Because being allowed to unilaterally fire, say, 20% of the U.S. military’s generals and admirals seems like A LOT to just allow one or two guys to be able to do. It actually also seems kind of stupid to me, if I’m being honest.

Which is harder for animals to do overall, lay eggs or give birth to live young?

(Or is that too general/broad of a question for there to really be a definitive answer to it?)

Why do colorizations of black and white movies so often go wrong and end up being very inaccurate/low quality? Is it just studios being cheap/rushing the process, or are there other factors at play when it comes to trying to colorize films that were originally shot in black and white?

On the other hand, are there any instances of this happening in which you‘ve enjoyed the results of a movie’s colorization?

With all of the medical advancements being made now (I hear great news about cancer vaccines more and more often!), is it at all feasible that more people could live even longer than 100 years old, such as perhaps to 130 or 150 years old?

I’m much more doubtful about humans ever being able to be immortal or living extremely long lifespans (e.g. 400 years), but, given the current trajectory of medical advancements, is making it a few/several decades past 100 years old something realistic to expect for people in the future?

With Buddy having come out now, are there any other movies that you’d say fit the style and type of horror/comedy that DHMIS uses pretty well?

Learning to Live with an Elephant (1968) — This is an early animated short by Terry Gilliam in his now well-known animation style that was shown on the TV show Do Not Adjust Your Set.

It gives all sorts of comedic and surrealist advice/facts about elephants, and features a cameo appearance from Mickey Mouse too.

So what's the deal with whether the U.S. President has the ability to levy tariffs on his own or not? Is it actually legal for him to do that or not?? Does a definitive answer to that question exist right now in the United States in any capacity?

Because this feels like it should be a fairly settled legal matter at this point, but Trump seems to just keep on levying them, raising them, pausing them, and then declaring them active again without being arrested for doing something illegal. Despite the fact that for a very long time everybody in the United States seemed to have agreed that it was Congress's job to levy/control tariffs against other countries, rather than the President's.

. . . .Can the President just not be arrested at all or something? Is that what this has really been about??

Why don't humans have snouts? They're a very common feature of a wide variety of species of mammals (perhaps most of them?), so what were the unique benefits of not having a snout for people that caused us to not keep them as we evolved or never evolve to have them at all?

How does Trump have the authority to rename Lake Ontario?

Doesn’t Canada also get a say in what that lake is called? And why does the President have the power to unilaterally change the names of landmarks both in and outside of the United States in general anyways?

I love all of the fun, weird novelty songs that were performed on The Muppet Show and are the first time that most people would have heard them. One of my favorites is the “I’m A Gnu” song here! What are yours?

Kalle och Chokladfabriken (1983) — This over three hour TV movie adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate factory was made in Sweden with a unique art style that was also used for the Swedish translation of the book. This was also considered to be lost media for a while.

If I had enough money, I’d find some way to pay people to make a good (in my case) English dub of this. This adaptation looks like a pretty unique one overall, being MUCH longer than any of the other adaptations of Dahl’s book that I’ve seen.

Why were movies, cartoons, TV shows, and other types of art made in the Soviet Union so unique and different from/compared to the rest of the world?

Was it pretty much just because they were so artistically isolated from the rest of the world by their government, or were there other/additional factors at play?
