Gloria Steinem, the activist and trailblazing leader of the second-wave feminist movement, has died. She was 92 years old.
Gloria Steinem never gave up the good fight. Despite publishing a dozen books and dedicating decades of her life to feminist advocacy, by the time she reached the age of 92, the feminist icon still feared leaving the Earth mid-battle. “I don’t want to die saying but—” Steinem told in an interview with Vanity Fair earlier this year. “We have the idea that our lives are planned in order to be worthwhile. And that may be true in some cases,” she says, “but I think our ability to respond to and learn from the unexpected is really much more likely to be helpful.”

Millones de niños creyeron que estaban viendo a Bugs Bunny atormentar a Elmer Gruñón en una barbería. Sin saberlo, Chuck Jones les estaba dando su primera clase de ópera.
En 1950, Warner Bros. estrenó "Rabbit of Seville" ("El conejo de Sevilla"), un cortometraje construido alrededor de la obertura de "El barbero de Sevilla", de Gioachino Rossini.
Pero Chuck Jones no se limitó a colocar música clásica sobre una persecución.
El compositor Carl Stalling conservó gran parte de la estructura original, eliminó algunas repeticiones y aceleró el ritmo para adaptarla a los poco más de siete minutos del corto.
Después, cada movimiento fue animado para coincidir con la partitura.
Los pasos, los golpes, las tijeras, la espuma de afeitar y hasta los dedos de Bugs siguen las notas de Rossini. En una escena tuvieron que dibujarle cinco dedos, en lugar de sus cuatro habituales, para que pudiera "tocar" correctamente la cabeza de Elmer como si fuera un piano.
No había música acompañando los chistes.
Los chistes eran la música.
Décadas después, profesionales de la industria la eligieron como la número 12 entre las 50 mejores caricaturas del siglo XX.
"Rabbit of Seville" logró algo que muchas clases nunca consiguieron: hacer que millones de niños escucharan ópera, entendieran su ritmo y la recordaran toda la vida sin sentir que estaban estudiando.
Muchos conocimos a Rossini gracias a Bugs Bunny.
This guy is showing how they now have a super expensive Robotic Dog at his Company that watches everything they do 24/7 and he finds it weird. How would you feel about one being at your place of employment?
In 2006, Idiocracy was a satire.
Twenty years later, it plays like a documentary.
Celebrity presidents. Endless screens. A war on nuance. Expertise treated like a punchline.
Mike Judge wasn’t joking.
We just caught up.
