The specific labored breathing Homer does after getting out of a cop car after running a very short distance in 'The Springfield Connection' I think

I could go on, 78% of my brain function at any time is dedicated to old Simpsons quotes

'Seems like the classy thing would be not to call attention to it'

'Yeah, they'll do that....'

'Look lady, this job isn't what I actually do. I play keyboards.'

'It's fitting right now!'

'Broke, or made better?'

'Isn't that the wrong way?'
'But Faster!'

'That's it! Some how!'

That's lovely! I was passed down my grandpas old leather tool belt, always enjoy donning it, like we're working on the project together.

Yup! First preseason in the books, I shockingly still remember how to do it!

(headline is slightly misleading in that it was an insert put together by a Hearst subsidiary that the Sun Times distributed with their paper, but the main point stands: the probability machine is making so many things worse in myriad ways, it is driving me to madness)

Benny Drawbars @bennydrawbars.bsky.social · May 20

(And if you're King Features and you don't care about the content of your inserts being accurate, you can also just not make them! It's actually way easier, and doesn't provide any less useful information to people than putting out one that's garbage! )

Benny Drawbars @bennydrawbars.bsky.social · May 20

to lazily throw together slop for slop's sake. I do not understand having so little curiosity about the world or any desire to experience it with your own senses or imagination that it's preferable to have a probability calculator do it for you.

It's pretty simple: if you don't want to write stuff, just don't be a writer! There are other things to do! There are plenty if people who *are* passionate about it and actually want to do it, thoughtfully, and well! Let them do it! And pay them for their expertise! Unconscionable

Look, I try to avoid posting anything not related to playing 20 seconds of a song at a hockey game, but as a musician and person who makes stuff, this is infuriating.
