Except it’s a finale for real people.
As I write this, we don’t know if the latest is a random shooting or a disgruntled employee shooting, and, after all, one must keep track.
And it isn’t etiquette to shoot any one you’ve been introduced to, even if you are disgruntled, and so, as Alice says, it’s better not to be introduced to people or we shall have no mass murders at all.
Though I suppose some sort of limitations on weaponry might also … never mind, I was joking: This is America and it’s perfectly fine to shoot people you’ve been introduced to. We do it every day!
Looney Tunes Cartoon Is Not What You Think It Is
Here’s a fun little thing you can try at your next family gathering (sometime in, oh, 2022? ’23?). Get people talking about Looney Tunes. Get ‘em talking about their favorites, about how much they love the meta humor of

John Deering (Creators) has, IMHO, the best take on Andrew Cuomo because he isn’t dancing on the political grave or even pushing Cuomo into it.
Nor is he going on about the statistics on nursing home deaths, a scandal that wouldn’t have disappeared but would likely have been more of a campaign issue than a cause for beheading.
Where people die is a fraught statistic, starting with things as simple as the fact that you’re more apt to die of certain things at a major medical center than at a small local hospital, because, when the folks at the little hospital realize they can’t help you, they transport you to the med center which can’t help you either but you’re still alive when you get there.
