Steamed Hams full transcript Well, Seymour, I made it- despite your directions. Ah. Superintendent Chalmers. Welcome. - I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon. - Yeah. Oh, egads! My roast is ruined. But what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? Delightfully devilish, Seymour. Ah- Skinner with his crazy explanations The superintendent's gonna need his medication When he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations There'll be trouble in town tonight Seymour! Superintendent, I was just- uh, just stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise. Care to join me? Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour? Uh- Oh. That isn't smoke. It's steam. Steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmm. Steamed clams. Whew. Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering hamburgers. I thought we were having steamed clams. D'oh, no. I said steamed hams. That's what I call hamburgers. You call hamburgers steamed hams? Yes. It's a regional dialect. - Uh-huh. Uh, what region? - Uh, upstate New York. Really. Well, I'm from Utica, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed hams. " Oh, not in Utica. No. It's an Albany expression. I see. You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger. Oh, no. Patented Skinner burgers. Old family recipe. - For steamed hams. - Yes. Yes. And you call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled. Ye- You know, the- One thing I should- - Excuse me for one second. - Of course. Well, that was wonderful.

Happy Leland Melvin day to all who celebrate. 💚
@littlekittybigcity.bsky.social my kid was playing "Little Tiny Kitty, Big Lava City" this morning (the floor is lava, with more meowing)
The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.
wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it
“proudest achievement of 2026 thus far has been buying a home with my lover and immediately doing everything we can to rid the property of the soul sucking millennial gray/blue hues” “maybe this is controversial but i don't think it's fair to describe it as "millennial gray" when we were primarily victims of it, not perpetrators. that's like calling phone addiction "Gen Z Ailment" or lead poisoning as "Gen X Water"”
“gen x water” is so fucking funny to me i am absolutely gonna start calling it that
i’ve literally watched this like 30 times since last night and it only keeps getting more funny
This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?
This tactic should be recognizable to a LOT of us. But we don’t have to fall for it.
I can't return this car I stole because I'm currently driving it.

Multiple game studios have recently closed because their titles couldn't compete with established live-service games like Fortnite. Meanwhile, you can also literally work on Fortnite and get laid off and Tim Sweeney remains a billionaire.
Something has to change. The time is now.

Tim Sweeney had sports cars and a big house he didn't "need" nearly 20 years ago. What do you think he's worth now?
There is no solar power crisis. No wind power crisis. No insulation crisis. No heat pump crisis. No e-bike crisis. No electric bus crisis. But there is a #fossilfuel crisis. And a #climatecrisis.
Graphic showing that streets without trees can be as high temperature as 36, 50 or 50°C, whereas similar streets with trees can be 18, 20 or 26°C
As already warm cities become more and more vulnerable to extreme heat events, or just the “new normal” of hotter and hotter cities every day, here’s just one more reason why more street trees and other greenery are good for streets & cities. It’s just common sense, really. Cooler, cleaner, better.
Any use of genAI always reads to me like:
“We just used a little bit of shit in our cake because we couldn’t afford chocolate.”
All I'm going to say that: If I had never done a thing, I wouldn't be so quick to jump into discussions about whether "AI" can do the thing.
If you didn't know this already have a fact to brighten your day. This is my cat Boris when he played Jones in Aliens. He was picked because he would hiss on camera because he was not a nice guy.
we were JUST talking about how none of the crew try intimidation displays against the alien, except Jonesy -- and it works, because game recognize game. One of the greatest moments in cinema.
BREAKING: Workers at CBS are walking out.
The unionized team that works CBS' streaming service are going on a 24 hour strike in New York and San Francisco.
The walkout comes after negotiations with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss reportedly imploded.
Washington just passed a “millionaire tax,” after Massachusetts passed its own in 2022.
New Mexico enacted universal childcare last year.
And organizers in Montana and California are advancing a ballot measure that would get corporate money out of politics.
We still have power to fix the system.

Forever my favorite Ides take: “Julius Caesar, popular Roman leader and author, dies at the age of 55 surrounded by friends.”
