Tbh the current Simpsons is a mere facsimile of the original. It isn't funny anymore and only still exists because of inertia and because it still rakes in the cash when needed.

True. The Simpsons peaked a long time ago, and it's been puttering along on the memory of the fact that -- at one time -- it was genuinely funny.

Finally got around to watching an episode of MST3K. Netflix has a seemingly random assortment of episodes. It was good though.

These days angry people are a dime a dozen, but Bill Nye has good reason to be quite irate.

The weekend was long and my mum has spotty wifi, but it was fun to spend some time with her and my brothers.

Also aside from NSG a few times a day there's a good chance for the next few weeks I won't be having time to use the computer for all that much. Fun fun fun!

It'll be so important that I'll be in ever newspaper on earth, around page 17, between an ad about litter boxes and one about chicken feed.

8 miles is a bit hefty, not to mention that I can't ride a bike.

It's not as hefty as it seems, not being able to ride one is more of the issue.

Now there's something you might want to learn, for cycling is a very pleasant activity when the weather is nice.

16-mile daily round trip featuring one of the biggest accident-blackspot roads in the district, and a half-mile section at average 10%+ gradient. Not massively fancying it.

What's a trip to work without a sense of danger and a workout?

Not terrifying, that's what a trip without that is.
