Presumably, we wouldn’t have had over three decades of The Simpsons without Matt Groening’s fractured family appearing regularly on the Fox network (US) from April 1987 through May 1990.
The jaundice-hued clan (Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa et al) began their hilarious and sometimes controversial life as a series of animated shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show before landing their own half-hour sitcom a week before Christmas in 1989. For them, and creator Groening, the rest is history (and a rather gaudy amount of math)!
We are on a quest to build a better internet for readers. That means beautiful, fast-loading pages; social reading experiences that are additive instead of distracting; and a system that nourishes culture instead of tearing us apart. Time for a new page.

Good morning!
Happy to be back in your inbox so I can stop pondering my inevitable irrelevance/death. It’s good to just keep working so that you never have to do that <3 I hope you liked all the 15 things guests over the last month (I loved them)! I’m back to kick things off with my monthly advice column, Dear Baby. In keeping with the spirit of sneak-peek-July, I’m sending this to everyone, free riders included.
Hello!
Happy full moon! I’m in a good mood today as I write this because I’m getting a little kitty home this week. AHHH! Everything’s about to change and I’m just soaking in this newfound anticipation of love and wholesomeness :’)
Wrote two mini poems down in response to all the feelings I’ve been feeling:
so much
is changing
so fast
we have never met
but there is love
blooming gently
Today is an exciting day for me: with the half-season threshold (finally) crossed and the sample sizes large enough to be meaningful, the time has finally come for me to release the 2021-22 Player Cards to Patreon subscribers. As of now, there are 713 player cards - 431 forwards, 209 defencemen, and 73 goaltenders - for this season, although that number grows every week.
The “player cards” are the core hockey visualization I’ve offered to subscribers of my Patreon for the past year and a half or so, and they’ve gone through a few changes over that time.
