See, Marge, strangling the boy has paid off," Homer quipped to his wife. "Just kidding. I don't do that anymore."
Homer then added with a smile, "Times have changed!"
I think it's a joke about liberal virtue signaling. He doesn't understand why times have changed nor does he tackle morality in his reasoning, he's just an idiot. But times have changed, so he's less abhorrent now.

Thanks for your contribution to Rupert Murdoch's fascism circus being out in front of my eyeballs every single fucking day.
Biden has optically fumbled, and his polling has shown deep disapproval. Despite hints and a feeling that he and the US will perform a more measured approach, following public pushback. I don't see the US doing the right thing, but more... Oversight and perhaps moderation.
Well I should hope autonomous driving tech people believe they can make it work, despite the incredible expense and waste.
Part 2 is on Nebula.TV
Part 1 was long but dramatic and overall one of Bobby's most fun videos.
Thats funny because shareholders are deeply involved in Valve, and those shareholders frequently decide which products get investment and which don't.
Yeah the dark "secret" is they have spent $100 billion dollars and these cars still can't do anything useful and relatively safe.
Cities that have studied it believe on-demand car service is necessary (but often much more expensive) to reaching 100% transit coverage. But they also said you could reach like 95% with just busses.
Alright fine, I'll be a Luddite now. Every time we 'upgrade' or 'make progress' it is really about controling the working class and circumventing a previous business model. Capital pays more and more for the inputs: fuel and technology, in order to justify their control. And then once they have it, they use progress to justify poor labor protections. They never use the predicted best solution, or even a compromise, they use the solution that offers them more power.
Joe biden has claimed this more or less himself, saying he's a Zionist at heart, though his actions have started to be a little bit more moderate on the issue of Palestinian genocide.
OK you have some amazing arguments. It is really hard to find a retort to some of these, and I can't do all of them.
The only reason Israel can be equivalent to Jews is because Israel is an ethno-state. Israel has much greater power and control than Palestine, which is why leftists say Israel can be blamed for the rise - and funding - of Hamas.
Antisemitic speech and hate crimes have been on the rise in the wake of this conflict, yep. I dont want to conflate crimes with political speech against the state of Israel, though.
Protestors who are pro-palestine have also seen a rise in police action against them, and social threats. People are being threatened for their speech. Politicians who seemingly want to condemn Israel feel that they can't because they will lose power.
70% of Israelis think Netanyahu fucked up and needs to leave office.
NGL I saw overt police violence from cops on orthodox Jews in Israel. Americans, by the way. American cops are training in Israel because it is the most strict police state that Americans can go to. The IDF for all its force actually fucked up so badly that thousands of Israelis were killed and hundreds kidnapped. And why did Hamas do this? Well, they are antisemitic. But the people who voted Hamas in are not, but are simply frustrated with the occupation. Israel killed all of Palestine's good politicians who may have made a deal happen, and then let Qatar give Hamas billions. So... Israel can cut off food, water, and electricity to Paleatine, but they can allow Qatar to send billions in funding and Iran to send literal drones and missiles? Hello? Israel is to blame in so many ways, and genuinely Israeli Jews deserve better than the government that they have now that is more focused on genocide than solutions to Israeli concerns.
This protest is aimed at the government, not US society. While not the most radical, its important to show just how many people care about this cause.
