This is a person who truly understands the Simpsons. This is the precise correct take and all others are incorrect.
There are eight official seasons of the Simpsons, with two to four bonus seasons, and the rest does not exist

Every episode of TOS was about racial discrimination, every ep of next gen was about Riker encouraging bisexual orgies, every episode of DS9 was about revolutionary politics, and every episode of Voyager was about an adult catman hosting a morning cooking show, so, alright, not all of them but most

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.

Old music is cool and all, but I'm pretty stoked to be releasing some new music pretty soon. Last time Progger put a record out was 2018, so I'd say we're past due. This one is gonna be pretty damn cool, if I do say so myself... #jazz #funk #rock

Some cool people told me I should post here more. And I think they're right. And Progger has news! We recorded album number five a couple weeks ago and it was a damn joy. Editing these tracks presently, mixing coming soon, and there will be tons of video too.

We need some cool shit in these depressing times. Well, I think "Do It 1992" by Kurt Rosenwinkel and Scott Kinsey might be the most underrated thing in the world right now. That and science.
