It the traditional new car model rollout season, so today's #DavesCarIDService the palatial new car showrooms of yesteryear - starting with this handsome Pierce-Arrow dealership in St. Louis, 1931. With the Depression and all, it was probably a tough time selling a high ticket

I was at Walmart and noticed boxes upon boxes marked Sega Genesis. I was wondering if it was a new mini-console. I don't remember Sega announcing a Genesis Mini re-release but it might have been another AtGames Genesis. Nope, it's just some diorama thing that doesn't play games

@colbycosh There was a whole episode of the live-action Adult Swim show Joe Pera Talks With You about Joe discovering "Baba O'Riley" by The Who. https://t.co/mXcDjacDU5

"Baba O'Riley" came on & I was thinking "A lot of people must be tired of this thing these days." But in my own life, I never heard it, or anything LIKE it, until I was 16. My first hearing is pretty distinct in memory.

Hey, @ashens, look at what Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada is selling for Halloween in their "seasonal" section! They just call them "gnomes" but that is definitely a Halloween "gonk", with a repainted Christmas tree for a hat.

Rather spectacular airplane contrails in the Ottawa sky this morning just before dawn.

After the local anesthetic from the surgery wore off, I was in a fair amount pain on Friday evening into Saturday morning. Fortunately, I already had Naproxen at home for extreme pain and maybe I had a little liquid assistance (hours after taking the Naproxen) to help me sleep.

I went to the hospital on Friday for an appointment. I thought it would just be going over the biopsy results (the doctor agrees with me that there might have still been cancer in the big lesion on my nose) but, nope, I actually had the surgery done to remove three lesions.

I still have a nasty lesion that's causing me many problems that has to be removed but the doctor told me last time that, if it's not cancer, removing it will be fairly simple.

I wasn't going to go into specifics until after I got my biopsy results but they were testing for cancer (liposarcoma). They didn't find anything malignant, which I assume means I'm cancer-free. I'll speak to the doctor at the hospital about it on Friday.

@Joshstrangehill I also like the classic Sesame Street animations which I found creepy and unsettling as a kid such as this "Bus Stop"animation with stark black-and-white imagery and intense 1960s era Cold War spy thriller-sounding music. https://t.co/0msrbOrLFQ

The animated stuff on Sesame Street was a HUGE influence on me and I'm guessing many other people in my generation, which I call The Sesame Street Generation, as it was the style at the time.

I had an appointment at the hospital on Friday morning and, even though it's been two weeks, they're still waiting on my biopsy results. It's quite nerve-wracking.

I feel like the northern part of "Sort of Ohio" should really be "New Ontario" or something.

I said Little Bear then posted a pic of the Care Bears. OOPS. 😭 But Nelvana did produce the Care Bears too.

Nelvana is ...GONE?! 💔 It wasn't just a part of my childhood, it was a dream for my future that became a reality. It's where I first worked as a voice actor (Little Bear), became a TV writer (6teen), and eventually a show runner (Scaredy Squirrel). 💔

If so, that unfortunately shouldn't surprise anyone. We knew Corus paused development at Nelvana last summer and there wasn't any news on that changing. If you have nothing cooking behind the scenes, you're eventually going to have nothing cooking at all. https://t.co/ltg8CjJ27C
"All development work at Nelvana has also been paused for the next year." "Georgaklis has been with Corus for more than 20 years, joining its kidsnet Teletoon back in 1997."

With it being a long weekend, there's no real reporting on this story yet. It's possible this is a case where the animation teams have been let go but the company will continue as a licensing business (with possible external production partners).
Not officially confirmed but Nelvana, one of Canada's most storied animation studios, appears to have quietly closed down on Friday, yet another casualty of Corus Entertainment's struggle to survive.
