Quote of the Day

Please Stop With the $14 Million Number
“If I’d spent my life listening to Dismal Doras like you, I wouldn’t be worth two-hundred-million dollars today.” – C.M. Burns “But according to your most recent biography, you only have one-hundred-million dollars today.” – Lisa Simpson “I’ve ha-, . . . I’ve . . . ” – C.M. Burns “Um, actually, sir, it’s, uh, considerably less than that.” – Mr. Smithers A nice, headline grabbing number, preferably with a dollar sign next to it, is a well known pageview booster.

Burns “There’s a can.” – Lisa Simpson

You’ve got an enchanting musk.” – Mr. Smithers I never bothered to watch the Lady Gaga episode a second time, so this comparison may be a little looser than I think it is, but the Elon Musk episode sure felt a lot like it. A mega famous person arrives out of nowhere in Springfield (Gaga in a giant train, Musk in a spaceship that lands in the Simpsons backyard), crazy shit happens for a little while, then the mega famous person…

“Egad, man! How are we supposed to pass the time?” – C.M. Burns “Best bet is to stake yourself out a good spot at the starin’ window.” – Abe “Grampa” Simpson It’s another short Reading Digest this week. As always we’ve got some good stuff, including an insane Lego video, the magical touch of Harry Shearer’s Twitter account, a sexually unusual farm animal, more clothing, and several great pieces of usage, but overall volume remains pretty low. Not sure why. Anyway . . . Enjoy. Fast Food Formations: Homer Simpson Built From Junk Food – Some crazy geniuses constructed a life size…

Compare & Contrast: Involuntary Commitment
"Sir! I’m so sorry my grocer committed you. We’ll never shop there again." – Mr. Smithers Like the practice of medicine in general, the treatment of mental illness has a longstanding history of cruelty, incompetence and abuse. People have undergone everything from lifetime confinement and mind changing drug regimes to electric shocks and lobotomies because of pseudo-scientific theories that often had (and have) more to do with the ignorance and prevailing prejudices of the people administering the "treatments" than they do with making the patients better. On top of that is the frightful prospect of a mentally healthy person becoming…
