I just love that podfic exists. Like, probably one of the first artistic expressions humans had was telling stories around the fire, and here fandom is in the 21st century discovering a new way to do that, to create that connection of voice, that intimacy of telling and listening aloud, as though we’re only a few feet apart instead of hundreds or thousands of miles. I am so here for it.

According to this meme I made in 2016, 2018 is the last year in a barrage of terrible years. In 2019, the suffering will end and good things will come to us once again

1999 – The Simpsons predicts everything that happens in the world
The messed up part is that this, along with the Trump presidency, were predicted as jokes. These were seen as things so ridiculous that not only could they not actually happen, the idea of them was funny. So every time a Simpsons prediction comes true, the Simpsons wasn’t really trying to predict the future, they were making a cynical joke because they thought the real future would be better than it actually is. We’re living in the timeline where all the Simpsons’ worst assumptions about the world were 100% right.
