Season 13, Episode 4 “A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love”

Inspired by a fortune cookie telling him “you will find true love on Flag Day”, Burns starts a relationship with a much younger woman — who turns out to be Snake’s ex girlfriend.

The typical news publication is written at a sixth grade reading level. Do with this information what you will.

A part of me hopes they fine him $130k. Fining him the exact amount he paid Stormy Daniels somehow feels like an even bigger “fuck you” than the maximum possible financial penalty.

Luckily for America, Trump has less money than ever!

I love how he waited until the day after Trump’s conviction to announce this, when the news cycle is still too busy covering Trump to spend any time on a covering it.

Too cowardly to do this when people are actually paying attention, which really is the perfect summary of his career in politics.

Season 5, episode 14 “Lisa VS Malibu Stacy”

Lisa enlists the help of Smithers (because of his enormous Malibu Stacy collection) to find the creator of Malibu Stacy. When is computer boots up, a suggestive greeting from Mister Burns plays which Smithers urges Lisa to ignore.

Season 13, episode 7 “Brawl in the Family”

This is the episode where the cocktail waitresses Homer and Ned drunkenly married in Vegas (season 10, episode 10 “Viva Ned Flanders”) show up in Springfield. At the end of the episode, Homer gets his Vegas wife blackout drunk and tricks her into marrying Grandpa which ultimately convinces her to leave.

“You can’t put lipstick on a pig” was popular for about a year in the US, circa 2007

Foot-longs make him uncomfortable.

Good point, that’s much more apt

It also adds clutter and noise to a public space, making it more irritating to scroll through comments. It’s like someone having a private conversation on speaker phone while you’re waiting in line at a Starbucks or whatever.

Season 3, Episode 15 “Homer Alone”

It’s the one where Marge takes a solo vacation to Racho Relaxo and Homer is left to take care of Maggie by himself (until she escapes). I think this is the scene where Homer calls the “Department of Missing Babies” and “The Cat’s in the Cradle” plays as the hold music.

the fossil fuel industry has entered the chat

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Stallman, is in fact, GNU/Stallman, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Stallman. Stallman is not a man unto himself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

I think in the end it all comes down to putting power back into the hands of regulators — power that corporate America has been slowly and steadily eroding for the last 40 years.

A more powerful regulatory state could start enforcing the anti-trust laws we already have on the books by breaking up the massive tech monopolies. Once that’s done, new regulations and new legislation against anti-consumer practices are needed, but those will only work if the punishments scale high enough to work as an actual deterrent against the multi-billion dollar tech giants.

Of course, we’d also need massive, MASSIVE campaign finance and lobbying reforms so that monied interested aren’t able to sabotage the system all over again.

Or we could just bring back the guillotine… that would probably do the trick too.

The bill doesn’t really “cancel” any debt, it establishes a grant fund with tax money and allows people to apply for grants they then use to pay off their medical debts.

Rather than telling the debt holders to pound sand, the federal government will front you the cash to pay the debt holder.

Sure, because he’s been paid in stock options. It’s not like the guy has been working for free.

Then why is he asking shareholders to approve a $56 billion personal pay package? Seems kinda steep for a guy who isn’t really present…

Elon Musk, the CEO of company, has next to nothing to do with Tesla?
