And this is how I learned Curious George escaped the nazis.

Dolittle opened the door and looked inside. He closed the door. He opened the door again. He closed the door again.

"There's an elephant in there," he said.

The agent with the yellow hat nodded. "He's agreed to speak with-"

"It's an elephant."

"Yes," said the agent. "He's-"

"It's wearing a suit." Dolittle opened the door. He closed the door. "It's wearing a very, very large suit."

"He is a delegate from a French north African micronation."

"He is an elephant."

The agent closed his eyes. "Doctor," he said in a slow, careful voice. "I want you to understand the gravity of the situation. Prince Alexander comes from a micronation of extremely intelligent elephants who have just captured a French missile base with the intention of launching a strike against Europe. He has agreed to speak with us regarding the location of the missile base."

Dolittle stared at him. He said: "He's French?"

"Fluent in French, English, Greek, Italian, and German," said the agent, leafing through a file. "He can also understand French Sign Language, but can't sign."

Dolittle stared at him.

"He doesn't have thumbs." The agent waggled his thumbs in example.

"And you need me why?"

The agent closed the file. "Alexander has agreed to speak with us on the condition he can speak with one of our non-human agents," he said. "The first we had available is a loan from Interpol who can only sign with FSL. You are fluent in FSL, and will serve as our interpreter."

Dolittle stared at him. His eyes were watering.

"Non-human agent?" he said, grasping at what straws he could.

Something tugged at his coat. He looked down.

It was a chimpanzee. It grinned at him, stood up from its knuckles, and signed, Salut.

"His name is George," said the agent with the yellow hat.

Because someone is on the ball, Turner Classic is playing (among other WWII films) The Great Dictator today.

If you haven't seen it, please do. It was produced by Charlie Chaplin in the late 1930s, when it became clear that the war was going to happen, and came out in 1940 after it had started. Essentially, Chaplin realized that his famous mustache was about to be usurped forever by a fascist, and that fascist was going to kill a lot more people in the future than he had already.

It's a parody, made before the worst horrors of the Nazi regime were known to the general public, so there is discomfort here (if you've seen Disney's Der Fuhrer's Face, you'll get the idea), but the movie ends with Chaplin essentially saying "fuck it, no one else seems to be speaking out about this and I'm going to use my platform to do that."

For context, this character is a Jew who has been mistaken for the dictator (for obvious mustache-related reasons), and has been sent onstage at a rally to give a speech. Instead of trying to impersonate Hitler, he says what he really thinks. And keep in mind, Chaplin was coming out of semi-retirement for this. It was the first time most people had ever heard him speak, and this is what he said:

This from the administration that didn’t want men “parading” as trans in women’s bathrooms. Oh, so now all men can go in there legally? Even the actual predators? Like, make it make sense.

I love when they try so hard to push something that it accidentally does the exact opposite of what they wanted.

Guys trump made everyone female???? Somehow???? Which means straight people don’t exist I guess???? This administration shares one brain cell that just did apoptosis. So um I guess everyone is either aspec or a lesbian? Idk I’m trying to laugh so I don’t cry.

Every time Sean Astin makes a statement on whether or not Sam and Frodo were indeed gay for each other in lord of the rings he’s always like “well we have to acknowledge that attitudes around sexuality have changed dramatically over the past several decades and since authorial intent is only up to speculation, the story is open to multiple readings, some of which might have different significances for different groups of people also they kiss on the lips because I said so”
