. Variety reports that the conservative high-school dramedy wanted to add authenticity to a biology dissection scene with the aforementioned corpses, a creative decision that was first outlined in a series of tweets by a friend of a Generation staffer. This Twitter user alleged that crew members and actors were given “no warning” about the corpses, and the “trauma responses” led to two extras quitting. HBO Max confirmed to Variety that the dead cats were indeed real, but noted they were all “ethically sourced” from a “biological supply company that works with schools.” The streaming service also stated that everyone involved in the scene “was informed in advance” of the “sensitive” cat usage, although they “deeply regret that this occurred.”

reminds me of a story my friends shared of a group that went to a neighboring high school: real life Frogger
they had a slow-moving traffic road next to their school and they’d blindfold a guy and yell “five steps forward!” and “stay!!” when someone was in the middle of the road between lanes
hopefully they were pranking us with the story

what's unusual about that?

300 grand for a doodle but what do i know i have fun being broke

tbf the posthumous Basquiat industry sorta skeeves me out but I’m not totally positive why.

because he lived and died predominantly in squalor, feared that he was becoming a token and is now being monetized for billionaires?

you're not wrong

i should say that's not really fair or accurate to his family or story: kinda more that he OPTED to live and die predominantly in squalor

it's kind of stupid but i visit his grave probably once every two weeks or so - more just because he's on one of my standard greenwood paths than because I'm obsessive - and I somehow feel like we've developed a relationship though nothing could be further from the truth

Hey forks, next time you run into that Leonard Bernatein, you tell him I'm still waiting on that $50 he owes me.

I hate typing on an iPad.

We see each other occasionally. They redid his spot about a year and a half ago.

xp actually in this universe it is spelled Bernatein

Full disclosure: I am a Christian and a conservative Republican, so the people who run Disney and I do not see eye to eye.

Yeah, man, I'm gonna go ahead and say you didn't need this sentence. We got it.

In 2018, as an asst. DA in Las Vegas, Jonathan VanBoskerck, the adult who is mad that Disney World is "woke" now, fought to ensure Nevada carried out its first execution in 12 years despite concerns from the ACLU that the drug cocktail was unsafe.

(Meredith) -- The "steaks" were high in Louisiana after a group of Good Samaritans rescued a trapped cow after Hurricane Ida.

During the massive storm, floodwaters became so intense that they carried the cow away, forcing the animal into a tree.

The cow -- which had some real beef with the tree -- was safely rescued and was over the moon when freed.
