The reason Mel Blanc’s famous Looney Tunes screams have that distinctive echo is because Warner Bros. was too cheap to set aside any of their recording booths for cartoon dialogue. Instead, they’d take a soundstage that was currently between productions, and in between clearing out the old sets and moving in the new ones, they’d park Mel Blanc in the middle of the empty building, hang a boom mic over his head, and have him spend a day recording as much voice material as would fit on whatever leftover odds and ends of filmstock they had lying around.
I want you to picture that vast, empty, mostly darkened space, with a single point of light right in the middle of it, and in that point of light is this unassuming-looking little guy emitting a series of howling Daffy Duck screams.

>"person of interest" captured in Altoona PA
>POI was stopped at a McDonald's getting food
>carrying multiple fake IDs and a passport
>also carrying manifesto and potential murder weapon + silencer
>identified based on hostel mugshot that doesn't appear to be the same person in other photos
>fake ID matches the one used by POI at Hostel, where they already knew this person was
>picture of the shooter that they claim to have tracked back to the Starbucks has noticeably thinner and wider eyebrows than POI, as well as completely different clothing
>suspect was purportedly tracked from crime scene on cameras and disappeared at a bus station
>greyhound NYC to Altoona PA is less than a day, as is a Greyhound from NYC to Toronto
>shooter has been roaming free for five days
>NYPD, the most vain police department in the world, has been pursuing even the most fuckstupid leads they have (veterinary pistol lol) and spreading photos that are obviously not all the same person
>NYPD has a long history of fabricating evidence against arrested suspects and then dropping cases in court, having done this with a murder case as recently as this past January
>New York City is the financial capital of the nation and needs to appear safe for the capitalist class or it will surely hemorrhage funding
>Eric Adams, Mayor of New York, is currently embroiled in a humiliating corruption investigation and doesn't have much remaining face he can afford to lose

WAIT!
Before you hit send on that ask, reblog, or reply, remember to stop and PROOFREAD!
am I Pissing on the Poor?
did I Read the post in bad faith?
could I be Overexaggerating?
am I Out of line for saying this?
is it kind of Fucked up to say that to a total stranger?
is what I said Rude?
am I being Egotistical?
am I Angry at words that weren't in the post?
did I Dream up a pretend person to get mad at?
ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT YOURSELF FROM LOOKING LIKE A JACKASS ONLINE!

Google finally did it. Is it time to switch to Firefox? I believe users should be in control of what they can install and use on their desktop or laptop. There's uBlock Origin Lite, which replaces the original uBlock Origin for Chrome and similar browsers. Give it a try.
