Yes. Thanks to the deal [executive producer] Jim Brooks had, Fox executives couldn't meddle in "The Simpsons" in any way, though we did get censor notes. The executives weren't sent advance copies of the scripts, and they couldn't attend read-throughs, even though they very much wanted to. All we had to do was please ourselves. This is a very dangerous way to run a television show, leaving the artists in charge of the art, but it worked out all right in the end. It rained money on the Fox lot for thirty years. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

“in Western Canada, especially within the Rocky Mountains, significant declines in [snow water availability] are emerging in mid-elevation mountain headwaters. These regions feed major river drainage systems, including the Saskatchewan, Fraser & Columbia river basins”.

You should put that all in capital letters. You know, like you were SHOUTING.

Absolutely. Also, again, this is why we have *representative* rather than direct democracy.

Forced treatment doesn’t create recovery.
It creates resistance.
I’ve worked in the private recovery industry.
The clients who were forced into it didn’t recover.
They relapsed, they disappeared, and some died.
Support people. Don’t control them!

Many thanks to @maltlicknursery.bsky.social for inspiring me to sign off with Rufus Harley, master of the jazz bagpipes. (Granted, there's scant competition for the honor). Here's Harley's turn at playing Chim Chim Cheree, from "Mary Poppins."
