I never tire of pointing out that multiple shows did "Oh, my old friend is trans? That's interesting!" episodes in the '70s and '80s, and while none of these hold up by modern representation standards, they're all quite good and accepting in a way you might not expect.

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

Sigh. Fine. A few years ago, a friend’s dad had to pick RFK Jr. up from the airport & bring him to their house for a lecture series they were hosting, but had to divert to because he had explosive diarrhea “on the plane, in the car, at the hotel.” He, himself, said he “wrecked the plane.”

Courtney Love is a lot like trans women in that if you watch anything made between 1995 & 2012 there is an out-of-nowhere BRUTAL joke on the subject

Comics in the Spooky Age 🧛‍♂️🧟‍♀️🎃 @comicsinthega.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
A promo for the Superman newspaper strip’s arrival in Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer on January 21, 1940. The strip been around for a little over a year at that point. And Cleveland is where Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster met and created Superman.
"Superman Comes to Cleveland" with an announcment that his strip is going to be in the Plain Dealer. There is a large image of Superman on the right and two panels from the comic on the left.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

The movie I’ve seen most with my dad is Meatballs (1979) which had the unintended effect that I wanted to grow up to be a 1970s Canadian actress

Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington is an insane Simpsons episode because 3 minutes after a trans joke there’s a joke about how homophobic tv comedy was in the 90s

The Al Jean 2000s/2010s era really has one question “does Al Jean realize what people liked about 90s Simpsons?”

George Meyer is the only boomer comedy writer who could have a sentence on his Wikipedia like “Tired of life in New York, Meyer moved to Boulder, Colorado where he wrote a screenplay for a film for David Letterman to star in”
Wikipedia Paragraph of George Meyer that says “Meyer left after two seasons and went on to write for The New Show, Not Necessarily the News and Saturday Night Live. Tired of life in New York, Meyer moved to Boulder, Colorado where he wrote a screenplay for a film for Letterman to star in. The project fell through and Meyer then founded the humor zine Army Man which garnered a strong following, although Meyer ended it after three issues. The producer Sam Simon was a fan and he hired Meyer to write for the animated sitcom The Simpsons in 1989. He has held a number of positions on the show and also cowrote The Simpsons Movie. Meyer is in a relationship with the writer Maria Semple and the two have a daughter.”

review of The Simpsons season 13: Al Jean era is *much* more on cruise control than the chaotic speeds of Scully

what makes The Napa Boys work so well is that it trusts that the audience will understand Francis Ford Coppola & Megalopolis references and doesn’t dumb itself down an ounce
