AKA their yearly "our writers are still up on things!" episode.

One of the other stories is gonna be The Shape of Water, so really need to show that The Simpsons is still up to date with current events.

why can't we just right click a person's username, open a menu and send a friend quest or block a user? Why do we have to go to our profile on a separate tab and type in a person's name?

This takes way too much extra effort for me to ever block someone.

I'd be surprised if there is a single person who got the first game and are skipping the second because of this.

I think they should let Nick Cage do a Spiderman Noir movie.

We also need a proper Spider-Ham movie.

But the kids in Recess are in like the third grade.

These kids are so old they don't even have recess anymore.

Silver Surfer can probably end her with his pinky

Get back to me when he's in the MCU.

He might show up in Thor 4/GotG 3 since Galactus is probably the next MCU big bad.

The Boys is pretty good, and there's a show based on it releasing this Friday.

What doesn't Ben Shapiro have problems with?

I'm getting really irritated at the fact that we have a colossal moron in the White House. Beating him at virtually anything should be child's play.

Not a Trump fan but maybe part of the Dems problem is they think beating this guy should be child's play, and they can't figure out why it's not?

Reminds me of experienced players who throw a tantrum when beaten by a noob rather than figuring out where they went wrong

That's absolutely the problem. Trump is really good at making people drop everything and make what's going on 100% about him and nothing else (all he really has to do is make one controversial statement) and everyone immediately drops everything to attack him.

He's the 5 year old throwing a hissyfit, and people can't seem to understand the problem with giving the toddler screaming for attention all the attention he wants is a bad idea.

So nothing of value was actually accomplished here right?

Repubs are still upset about Hilary's emails, and don't actually care if Trump committed a crime
Dems wanted Mueller to do the work for them despite the fact he's basically done the work for them
Mueller just spent seven hours saying "read the damn report" and "I'm not speculating"

Pelosi and the squad are in a conundrum.

Its way too close to the 2020 presidential election to start impeachment proceedings so it is up to the American people to decide whether or not they want their country to continue on the path it is currently on.

Trump has clearly defined himself as the racist president so it will be up to Americans to decide if that is what we want to rebrand ourselves as.

Once again Americans are being tested.

There's still well over a year before the next election, there's plenty of time to impeach. It's just the Democrats are cowards and don't want to.

I don't know what the Stele document is, but Mueller has made it very clear he can't/isn't able talk about it, so why do people keep asking him about it?

Pelosi has all she needs for a Trump impeachment.

Remove him from office and send the fucker to prison.

They already had all they needed before this hearing. Pelosi just doesn't want to do it. We'll have to see what happens now.

Yep. Especially because about 30% of Mueller's answers so far have basically been "Can't you read?"

That's what he said he was going to do a month or so ago. Also why he didn't want to testify, because people can just read his report.

Except apparently nobody wants to read his report.

Probably because it feels good

What a stupid question

Feels good

sex with someone you love also feels good, so why do so many people avoid relationships and just go on dating apps so much for casual encounters?

Casual sex comes without the other things that come from a proper relationship. Many people aren't interested in the other related things a relationship entails and just interested in the sex, ie., casual sex.

They are really going to have to pull some bullshit out of their asses to justify her being worthy.

Just a joke that Thor and his Ex are suddenly going to need to spend lots of time together.

Is it possible the Mutants movie was the New Mutants movie that was supposed to come out but kept getting delayed? That one with Maisie Williams in it?

Or is that still getting released anyway

Man, Cowboys and Aliens

This doesn't seem that interesting to me. Also if mutants is X-men... I probably won't touch MCU again. Blade in the MCU seems weak. I can't picture it that series being family friendly after Wesley Snipes version.

I hope its just Blade 4, still with Wesley Snipes and we act like hasn't been almost 20 years between movies.

Since the Thor movies are comedies now, I want Lady Thor to immediately be full of herself and act like Natalie Portman when she's in the Lonely Island songs. I think that would be fun.

That's pretending that this might actually happen.

So? As long as he's better than Daniel Craig was

EDIT:
Apparently the Trailer dropped today. I'm unreasonably excited

No. I don't think another medical-evil fatasy-esque TV show is ever going to reach that same level of popularity as GoT did. And a single character-driven show with only like 4 characters isn't going to do it either.

We need a big ensemble cast, so we can have 9 different stories going on independently, and so people who don't like the writing can keep watching because there's another story they care about. Think Westworld if it had decent supporting characters or was less confusing because "lol betcha didn't see that coming"

I'm excited for Blade, and maybe Thor 4.

I'm sure the others will be pretty decent (they usually are) and Shang-Chi can be a fun like Kung-Fu movie like Ip-Man I guess. (maybe getting my hopes up there). I don't think any Marvel movie to date has been particularly "bad" tbh

At least he wouldn't be able to run again in 2024.

I'll just embarassed that I was alive to see the terrible 8 year blip when America didn't have a leader.

Don't worry about that. If Trump gets another 4 years the US will probably descend into another Civil War, and then it can be that great time *Insert new country here* was formed.

I only live about 30 minutes out of the States. I don't think that's far enough away to go

What's there to tell?

Dude wents nuts and killed his family.

Depressing sure but I don't get how you can do a documentary about it. What will you fill the time with?

It'll probably lead into a bigger theme about concussions and steroid abuse. It might go really sad and go into how he had like, perfectly sane conversations with people like Chavo and Regal just hours before the murders

Do you want to deal with a bunch of damn kids all the time?

I bought the entirety of Futurama and The Twilight zone for about 60$

I doubt I'm gonna buy anything else, especially because I'm in Canada and all the Prime day deals are even worse.

Switch doesn't get the yearly sports games, does it?

watered down (if even any) versions of NBA, NHL, MLB, Madden, etc...

I remember hearing that Edge also retired as "The Man" (the lineal title starting from when Ric Flair said "to be the man, you gotta beat the man" and then Shawn Michaels beat him at WM24) too. I wonder how many other imaginary titles like this Edge retired with...

Edge also retired with the Hardcore title, as if every match after it was unified with the IC title was still for the hardcore title.

I thought Melania didn't even live in the White House. She still lived in New York with the little kid (idk his name) and just did press stuff with Trump every once in a while

It's like...what do people not get about illegal aliens? They came in illegally rather than through the proper channels, "seeking asylum" be damned.

Seeking Asylum is a different thing from regular illegal crossings. because in order to seek asylum you are required to enter illegally first, because most countries won't let you request asylum until you are already within the borders. So if someone is escaping persecution of some kind they have to cross a border illegally in order to even request the help that they need.

It's technically against the law, but its one of those situations where nobody actually has a problem with it unless for some deeper (usually xenophobic) reasoning thats unrelated to the actual issue at hand.

Citation please.

In order to declare asylum, you need to be within the US borders. It can be once you arrive, to compensate that you may be entering the country illegally (To avoid prosecution - "Affirmative Asylum"), or it can be done as a defence against deportation or removal - "defensive asylum processing"

Because the PS2 was the undisputed best of the generation, so the only people who bought a gamecube had too justify buying 2 game consoles

He's wrong on the soccer teams.

Using global statistics is putting his finger on the scale a bit, the Women's US soccer team has been outdrawing the mens US soccer team for the past few years. The Women's soccer team is also considered basically the best around (they've won the last 4 olympics, 5 of the 8 existing Women's world cups, etc...) and the Mens US soccer team didn't even qualify for the World Cup last year.

The men's teams might draw more globally, but its silly for the women to make less than the Men's team, when one dominates their field, and the one that gets paid more fails at theirs.

EDIT: The US team won 4/8, not 5/8 world cups

Doesn't matter if they've been dominate, it only matters if people care. And mens soccer is much more popular, and as a result makes much more money.

The New York Knicks fucking suck, but I guarantee you they make more money than whoever the hell won the WNBA championship last year, because no one cares about the WNBA.

I could name a few mens soccer teams off the top of my head and I dont even care about soccer at all. I couldn't name a single women's team

At least in the United States, Women's soccer has been outdrawing Men's soccer, so the common economic argument for Women's teams getting paid less don't really hold weight.

The Planet Money podcast did an episode on this about a month ago which was pretty good, if anyone is interested.

Rogue Aces is also super fun IMO, which I think is on sale also

https://thinkprogress.org/forty-percent-of-workers-made-less-than-20-000-last-year-ef716e152a40/

40% of US workers made less than 20000 last year. 40% of workers is not 200 million people, and median wage is the lowest its been since 1998. 40% of workers doesn't include things like children or the elderly, so 40% of workers also means all of those workers (grand)parents and children who aren't able to work need to be supported off of that 20k/year.

So we have a real problem here, but AOC accidentally carried a 0 so let's just lol at her instead.

I want a live action Goofy movie

I think this parade needs a bunch of LGBT people to come as "straight allies" and be sure to point out how progressive and thankful they are that this kind of equality exists, but just to be sure, They aren't straight, but still totally cool with the lifestyle - Not straight though.

boxing in america is dead, theres not one star fighter in all of boxing also as of now.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor was a big deal when it happened 2 years ago.

So was Mayweather/Pacquaio a few years before that.

Then it turned out to be totally rigged and a boring fight and people stopped caring because Mayweather's "just kinda stall until the time runs out" is a really boring gameplan.
