This is officially the weirdest shit I've seen for weeks.
I was just watching the #Ozempic episode of #TheSimpsons and although he wasn't in it much, there was a scene where Smithers posted Monty Burns to Putin.
That got me thinking that 35 years ago, Burns seemed like one of the most nasty and evil #Billionaires they could caricature, but these days, he's just kinda mellow, a little bit greedy, and just averagely loose on regulations.
He doesn't have private jets, he doesn't have his own Senators and Supreme Court Justices, he's not on Epstein's flight manifests, and he doesn't hang out with Agent Orange.
How much the world has moved on!

I somehow got 83% on that. Probably all the Simpsons I watched back in the day doing all the heavy lifting there.
Broadcast 30 years ago, and à propos of nothing in particular...
@stux Sounds like Chief Wiggum is in trouble!

We need more "Bort" license plates in the gift shop.
I repeat, we are sold out of Bort license plates.

I argue that what a lot of people refer to as "modern Simpsons" is often a decade or more out of date, we’re seeing the show start to emerge from the Dark Age that followed the Golden Age, and if you dismiss everything as “modern / post-Golden Age” Simpsons then you’re missing out.
I got asked on Bluesky for a primer on recent Simpsons episodes with examples to check out for people who aren't autistic weirdos obsessed with the show like me. #simpsons
30 years ago, #MrBurns wanted to block the sun to sell more #nuclearenergy. Silly, but really not far off from the #oilindustry's goals.

I will now read the special vows which Homer has prepared for this occasion.
"Do you, Marge, take Homer in richness and in poorness-" " Poorness" is underlined- "in impotence and in potence, in quiet solitude or blasting across the alkali flats in a jet-powered, monkey navigated-" And it goes on like this.

January I st. Better get goir on those taxes,
Neddie.
Hmm. Let's see. Cash register ink. Well, that's a business expense, isn't it? l- Oh, but, then, I do enjoy the smell of the stuff, don't I? Better not risk it.
Daddy, what do taxes pay for?
Why, everything! Policemen, trees, sunshine- and let's not forget the folks who just don't feel like working, God bless 'em.

@rorystarr @kevinrns I only just realized the Rick Moranis was probably the model for Milhouse. Yes/No? #canada #simpsons
Vig Notaro as a Betting Site ad in the background of The Simpsons tonight is a genius multi-layered joke!
