it's called a toasture oving because it oves the food by producing toasture

i didn’t have fun with the episode overall, but that weird little flirting business with the mom was my biggest laugh of the night. so good

If you don’t know the difference between ‘burro’ and ‘burrow’ then you don’t know your ass from a hole in the ground.

Excerpt of magazine page. It says "Dear Santa: Computer-using celebrities tell us what they want for Christmas." The Story is by Kathryn Bonn. "I'd like a magic potion. By drinking it, I'd have a full understanding of MS-DOS at my fingertips." JULIA CHILD "A smaller laser printer... and a girlfriend who loves computers." STEVE WOZNIAK "I'd like to be able to jack in directly [to a computer)." ROBIN WILLIAMS

Excerpt of magazine page with more celebrity quotes. "A giant screen so that I can create huge computer-generated images." KEITH HARING "I'd like a better-quality, faster, quieter printer." LINDA ELERBEE "I'd like a program that could tell me the results of every batter-pitcher confrontation in the National League." DAVEY JOHNSON

"I'd like to guarantee that I never accidently make a foolish mistake." WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY, JR. "I'd like a Cray [supercomputer]." PENN (the taller half of PENN & TELLER) "A laser printer." TODD RUNDGREN

In 1987 Family Computing magazine asked “computer-using celebrities” what they wanted for Christmas. Julia Child wanted a potion that taught her MS-DOS. Steve Wozniak would like a girlfriend. Robin Williams said he’d “like to be able to jack in directly.” And Todd Rundgren needed a laser printer.

Even setting aside not wanting to support him for jacking off in front of people, I feel like the fact that he did it undercut the entire concept of Louis CK as a comedian: that he was a man with repulsive thoughts and urges, but who had attained the self-knowledge that comes with recognizing them

Lorne didn’t even remember her mom, he’s just all about that BLASTO

it has the cadence of a bad high school essay, the way it goes in circles and puffs things up

this new Burger King ad campaign is going a little too far. i know BK like to be cheeky but depicting their competition being endorsed by child rapists is kind of extreme 🫢

Heathcliff stands before a turkey at a farm, painting a canvas with an easel in his hand. On the canvas is an image of a cooked turkey on a plate. A small bird watches Heathcliff paint and says "It's something between a still life and a nude."

simpson enclosure at the zoo

also the crew’s discontent with the pilot made more sense when I read David Silverman’s style guide — there’s so much all-caps emphasis on making the characters emote *less* and to derive humor from vacant stares and underplaying

this was a great read and perfectly articulated the things that make this season special

“Moaning Lisa” was the first time i saw a show portray a child being depressed in a way that felt realistic and un-rationalized and it kind of blew my mind as a kid

In defense of The Simpsons' first season Depending on who you ask, the first season of The Simpsons might not be included as part of the show's beloved 'golden age' up through season 8. It's kind of an odd transitional stage between the orig...

New on the Ponett Gazette: I rewatched the first season of The Simpsons for the first time and felt the need to write a blog post about it. I think it finds its groove way faster than people give it credit for, but the rough edges also kind of fascinate me ponett.dog/blog/in-defe...

if you love these movies, just admit you hate long-form improv

The nation is in love with the idea of an angry, uneducated, traditionally macho straight white man who miraculously holds the same opinions as a 23-year-old queer feminist DSA member in Astoria, Queens, and I hate to tell you that this might not be a real thing

Bruce Springsteen has good songs. no one ever says this but it’s true
