This also means Matt Groening has surpassed Seth McFarland for having the same animated series cancelled multiple times. While also claiming the title for the Longest-Running American Animated Series.

Futurama is the adult animated series that refuses to quietly go into that sweet good night. That's why we love it. Hulu hasn't officially cancelled it but they're not ordering new episodes. I hope it finds life again on another service.

I want to say some hospitals here are doing that now. I can't remember if it was my surgery or my mom's but literally wrote in a washable marker. I chuckled but didn't question it. It actually made me feel better.

Were his mentors Jeff Skilling and Andrew Fastow? Feels like he's going for the Enron ending. I do hope someone's documenting all of this and getting their notes together for a documentary.

I'm not saying Democrats are without fault. But it's the use of rhetoric and hyperbole that has landed us in this political hellscape.

The movie I'm thinking of isn't necessarily beautiful but it has its moments. The cinematography of it surpassed the actual script and some of the acting. It's the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola version of Dracula. If the script and key characters acting had all been good it would have been iconic.

Reading an article tonight about what it means to be middle class in Washington State. By the numbers according to Washington State the averages say I'm middle class but according to Seattle standards I'm lower middle class/working class. And based on the national definition I'm upper middle class.

And it's not just the pay. Truckers deal with reckless drivers cutting them off and ignoring blind spots, on top of long hours, chronic sleep deprivation, and sitting for hours or days at a time. The job wears people down, on the road and off.

Most people don't know how brutal trucking actually is: wage theft, impossible schedules, poverty pay. People with other options won't put up with it. DOT touts livable wages, but federal data puts median pay at $57K. Funny how the vet recruitment push ignores all of this.

I did this last December talk about suck. Gatorade became my friend. Oddly enough you can have the "frosted" ones that look like cloudy milk that aren't clear but somehow are clear. Makes no damn sense. I also made my own "jello" using apple juice and white grape juice and knox gelatin.

A détente was eventually reached. Then this month the same group said they were consecrating four more priests as bishops. Pope Leo asked them to hold off. They ignored it. So they're excommunicated again.

One group said, the hell we do! They rejected it outright and defied the Pope. In 1988 they consecrated their own bishops without permission and were excommunicated.

Ugh, I hate when the media does this. Former Catholic here. Around 1962, Catholic bishops got together to modernize the church and build bridges with other faiths. It took 3 years to hammer out. The Pope signed off. This became Vatican II. 🧵( thread)
