There's an episode where the whole town is on Ozempic, one where Bart uses AI for homework, etc. They don't do timeless stories anymore.DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm‘THE SIMPSONS’ will air an episode titled ‘The Kosmic Kruiser’ where Bart and Lisa break into Krustyland’s “most notorious and failed attraction.” Jenny Nicholson will appear in a guest role.1952386.3K

Not great for food output though.Jostein Hauge @haugejosteinUnder “dictator” Mao, life expectancy in China increased by 30 years, literacy rates went from 20% to 70%, steel output grew from 1 million to 23 million tons, 47 million hectares of land was taken from landlords and given to peasants, and China was unified under a strong central state and got nuclear weapons.
