Peter Cook at the center of The Establishment Club, 1962. (And is that Michael Caine?!) Likely soundtracked by the Dudley Moore Trio. Looks like Moore is seen, very slightly, in this picture's corner - left upper - at the piano!

The young William Friedkin made a documentary comparing the Second City in Chicago with the Establishment in London, the two most important satirical comedy theaters of their time.

Luddites

Holding back the AI of today, will stop the space exploration of tomorrow. But it sure will make some billionaires even bigger billionaires. Which would you prefer? Being chained to the past will just make you slaves in the future.

I don't need an establishment that doesn't represent my interests trying to control me. What I need is people working for the good of the people and not some selfish control network to keep the old shit in place so they can profit from it.

to me, the funniest thing about “that’s rough buddy” isn’t the fact that sokka says something patently insane with zero context seemingly out of nowhere, or the fact that zuko clearly doesn’t know how to respond. it’s the completely incorrect use of the word “buddy.” zuko would obviously like to be friends with sokka, but sokka is not, in fact, his friend. this is the most time they’ve ever spent together, and it’s because zuko invited himself to tag along on sokka’s suicide mission. at this point in the episode, sokka still hates this guy, perhaps less than he did a week ago, but he still hates him enough that he didn’t bother forcing zuko to stay home, which means he still didn’t really care whether or not zuko lives or dies. which, considering that he had tried to kill zuko multiple times in the past, is not all that surprising. this entire episode is essentially just zuko forcing his friendship onto sokka while sokka is legitimately too depressed to care. so when zuko calls sokka “buddy,” there’s a spirit of dogged optimism characterizing that epithet, because in no possible realm would sokka consider zuko his buddy at this point in the episode. and that’s something we miss when noting the iconicness of this exchange, simply because, by the end of this episode, they are buddies, so in our minds looking back on these lines, the implication of friendship doesn’t feel out of place at all. and really, it isn’t out of place, but only because zuko’s tenacity and determination (in this instance, his determination to befriend sokka) has always hugely outweighed his ability to read the room.

#and not for nothing but i think if anyone called zuko buddy (such as aang for example) he would melodramatically groan or something #by all accounts this is not a word he would ever use #but this is his first time even mildly successful socializing with a guy his age #and hes like ‘this is how males communicate right?’ #‘if i call him buddy it shall establish camaraderie. which is the first step to marriage’ #zuko #sokka #sokkaxzuko #90% of my zukka posts are about how sokka hates zuko and wants to kill him #but i think that’s an important contribution to the zukka ecosystem . perhaps even the most important

After watching the Barbie trailer, my parents are arguing over whether, as a previous diplomat, Barbie should have diplomatic immunity in a foreign country (her home country being Barbieland) and thus whether her arrest by LAPD is unlawful.

Neither of my parents are lawyers or have studied international relations, they just got excited by the trailer

#barbie #one thing we have established is that barbie is a threat to capitalism #she has the experience of fifty lifetimes. has lived in a utopia outside of capitalism. and could quickly gather followers #if mattel dont take her out the fbi/ cia will

we need to talk about the fact that for many of the posters in season one, they are literally on opposite sides and/or have a dividing line between them

and now they're literally crossed over in some way for the season 2 posters

THEY'RE LITERALLY ON THEIR OWN SIDE NOW, PEOPLE!

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS?

#good omens #aziraphale #crowley #losing my mind again #yeah uh #can we fucking talk about the crossing of established boundaries as a narrative device? #yes i know it's obvious #but like #LOOK

Kink isn’t shameful because of the weird sex stuff. That part’s rad. It’s shameful because it is technically improv. 

#15k edit: this is not about consent this is about not being able to think of good dialogue mid-scene #obviously you establish and stick to boundaries

Comedy legend Barry Humphries has sadly passed away at age 89.

Early on in his career, Humphries was championed by Peter Cook. Cook saw beyond "a flop" performance at The Establishment and "stuck by Humphries, casting him in Bedazzled... and hiring him to write The Adventures of Barry McKenzie for Private Eye," writes William Cook (no relation) in The Oldie.

These photos picture Humphries and Cook-ish company through the years - photographed by Lewis Morley in 1962; as Envy in 1967's Bedazzled; with Cook and Dudley Moore after a Dudley Moore Trio concert in 1971; as Sir Les Patterson with Cook, launching the inaugural Melbourne Comedy Festival in 1987.
