The 5 Simpsons lines I've uttered most off the top of my head: 1. Stupid babies need the most attention 2. Oh, it's a donkey! 3. Monsterrrss... 4. I dunno, I've never had to call my own company 5. Do you think it's time to crack people's heads open and feast on the goo inside?

By the same token, if your immediate reaction to a tragic death is to chide other people's reaction to that tragic death, and the dreadful set of preventable things that happened prior, then maybe take your own advice and don't be such a pompous arsehole?

Isn't it mad how certain kinds of Democrats who think this deep down would never say it because they're petrified it would torch their election chances... meanwhile their much more extreme opponents just come out and say it.

A celebrity-driven "movement" whose activism hinges on legal intimidation can only go so far; it cannot do much with an actual grassroots community united by passion who - and this is the critical part - are used to not getting their way and adapting, waiting and trying again.

News story: Google to open new office building in Dublin
Google has unveiled plans to open a new office building in Dublin's Docklands.
'The Bakery's is located on Grand Canal Street at the site of the original 1874 City of Dublin Bakery founded by Patrick Boland which was occupied by Éamon de Valera during the 1916 Easter Rising.
In more recent times the site was home to the Treasury building and the headquarters of the NTMA and NAMA.
Google bought the building in 2020 for €120 million euros

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

In the realm of questions posed during Senate hearings, this one from Ossoff -- "Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this?" -- ranks right up there with "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?"

Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question, to have MR. KELLY

Always makes me nervous when TV executives say things like this - it will almost certainly be unscrapped in three years time but repackaged as a visionary idea that could only come from today's searing genius in charge.
