There is so much that baffles me about the world today that makes me feel old. War. Politics. Etc. I’ve been doing a lot of “back in my day” lately. But nothing makes me feel older than knowing The Simpsons is in its *38th* season. I was *10* when it started.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Fans of “The Simpsons” were caught by surprise during Sunday’s episode when Apu returned to Springfield with a new voice actor. Apu had not been heard on an episode in almost a decade, after a documentary scrutinized the effects of having a white actor voice the character.

FOX BUSINESS: How do you and Republicans combat this sense among Americans, with mortgage rates at 7.4%, with fuel costs where they are -- this feeling of 'I'll never be able to catch up'? REP. CLAUDIA TENNEY: One of the problems is we're coming off 4 years of Joe Biden

Excuse me, but there is no such thing as too much Creed…

CNN@cnn.com

While the rest of the world may have relegated “Higher” by Creed to an ironic karaoke favorite, the Instagram algorithm seemed to be proposing it to accompany anything that might be photographed or filmed. https://cnn.it/4serKmt

Hasan was paralyzed in the shooting, so as if this wasn't all bad enough already, sit with the image of him being executed while in a wheelchair for that extra frisson of barbarity.

I’m sure the White House Correspondents Association will respond with a tersely worded letter and a request for him to appear at the next WHCA dinner “in support of the free press.”

Here is why Syracuse is a mediocre football team.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

From @theathletic.com: College football’s most carefully guarded secret is the amount of money flowing to the players on each roster. This summer, our staff tried to uncover these budgets. We found a massive disparity across the major conferences. nyti.ms/3TuCGiJ

Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.
