OK, found social media follow icons and just added them as links to my site via old-fashioned HTML. Which was easier than trying to find a WordPress plugin that actually knows Bluesky/Mastodon exists:

As long as I'm posting Simpsons images, Warner Bros.'s current/recent practices of "purge cartoons from HBO Max/shutter Boomerang's streaming service/send it elsewhere (Tubi, MeTV, etc.)," despite me willingly paying for HBO Max/Boomerang at one point, reminds me of the "Bart gets an elephant" episode:

On Peacock: The NBA All-Star Game. Brandy sang the US national anthem.

Again, "USA vs the World" doesn't seem like a well thought out theme, given current events. (Or that the NBA has a Canadian team.)

Assuming an average of 22 minutes an episode, and assuming one did nothing but sleep (8 hours) and watch "The Simpsons," it'd take a bit over 18 days *nonstop* to watch the entire show's run---or more vacation time than most people have. Yeesh. Talk about quantity over quality?

The Tubi/WB news reminds me I started my own media server in part out of annoyance about Zaslav's mistreatment of cartoons on HBO Max/in general. (Again, glad the WB catalog has a home, but also hope Netflix's an improvement as owners.)

Streaming services' direction since then has "helped"...
