(from internet transcript)
Bart arrives home from school, littering the hallway with his skateboard and knapsack. Bart enters his messy room and feeds his pet frog.
Out in the hallway, Homer complains about the mess, picking up a Krusty doll to illustrate his point. Bart's skateboard introduces Homer to the quick way to get downstairs. (``D'oh! D'ah! Son-of-a! D'aargh!'') His back injured, Homer is unable to move, his only company Bart's Krusty doll, which says, ``I like to play with '' over and over and over and over again. SLH wanders in. ``Go get help, boy.'' The dog licks Homer's face and takes a nap.
Maggie crawls over Homer's face, then quiets him with her pacifier. Maggie naps next to her father. Pull upward to show Homer lying on the floor, surrounded by Maggie, the pets, and a Krusty doll whose batteries are near death.
Marge and Lisa arrive home, and Homer says, ``The boy. Bring me the boy.''
Marge storms into Bart's messy room and yells, ``If you had cleaned your room when I asked you to, your father's trick back would still be aligned!'' While tossing his junk into the closet, Bart discovers... a cherry bomb. ``I thought I blew all you guys up!''

Over a foot of snow forecast for tristate area as 26 million people under blizzard warnings
Feb. 21, 2026, 8:00 AM PST
For New York City, this weekend's storm would mark its first blizzard since 2016, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said at a briefing Saturday. He warned that the city could be buried in up to 20 inches of snowfall, making Monday's commute “extremely dangerous,." The city's "Code Blue" operations have been activated to protect homeless New Yorkers, he said.
"I am asking all New Yorkers to stay inside and stay off the roads for your safety," Mamdani said.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency Saturday for multiple counties including Albany and New York in preparation for the Sunday storm.

Top 10 CIA Myths Hollywood has produced some incredibly entertaining portrayals of the lives of CIA officers.
Myth 4: All CIA officers are quiet, mysterious, live undercover and lie about where they work
While some officers do live undercover, many do not. And while some of us may be able to confirm that we work for the CIA, we may have to deny you details. Actually, for the majority of our officers, working at the CIA is very similar to working any other nine-to-five job in terms of logistics and lifestyle. The work we do may be secret, but our lives aren’t. CIA officers lead typical lives – we have kids and pets, we workout at the gym, watch movies, eat out

Myth 2: The men and women who work for the CIA are spies and agents
Citizens who work for the CIA are officers – not agents or spies. All employees, from operations officers, to analysts, to librarians and public affairs, are considered CIA officers.
So, who is a CIA agent? Our operations officers recruit well-placed human assets with access to information. These spies are agents. They provide critical information about their country to help America. Operations officers are CIA employees who spot, recruit, and handle foreign agents. They are experts in understanding human nature, emotions, intentions, and motivations.

She had asked me as we sat there at the table a question about what I did in my spare time. That was my response.
Posted by H.V.O.M at 8:50 AM Saturday, July 21, 2007
When I was sitting there in that bar in our office in historic Bellevue, Washington, in 1999, I told her I drove around in my blue Mazda RX-7 and solved crimes. Suzanne Morgan then looked across the table at Thomas Dawkins and asked him "What did he say?" and Thomas repeated what I had said. Later that evening, from my apartment at Oakwood, I wrote an email to Suzanne and commented that all the cigarette smoke in that bar had caused my face to turn red.

(from internet transcript)
The doorbell rings, and Homer rings the handbell. ``Maaaaarge! Maaarge! MARGE! GET THE DOOR!'' Marge peers through the peephole and gets a distorted view of Principal Skinner. Bart escapes to his room as Marge brings Principal Skinner into the living room. Homer remains on the couch.
Homer: Oh, hello, Principal Skinner. I'd get up, but the boy crippled me.
Principal Skinner: Mm hm. I understand completely.
Pr. Skinner: Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, we have transcended incorrigible. I don't think suspension or expulsion will do the trick. I think it behooves us all to consider... deportation.
Marge: Deportation!? You mean, kick Bart out of the country?
Homer: Eh, hear him out, Marge.

The draft classification of world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali was reclassified from 1-Y (unfit for military service) to 1-A, after the armed services revised standards from accepting only the upper 15th percentile of IQ to the upper 30th percentile. The revision would lead to Ali's refusal to register on religious beliefs, his arrest, and the loss of his championship status.

Address Before the American Association for the Advancement of Science
September 13, 1948
If we are to maintain the leadership in science that is essential to national strength, we must vigorously press ahead in research. There is one simple axiom on which this thought is based. The secrets of nature are not our monopoly. Any nation that is willing and able to make the effort can learn the secrets that we have learned. Such a nation may, indeed, discover new facts of nature we have not yet discovered.

Professor Barnhardt: There must be alternatives. You must have some technology that could solve our problem.
Klaatu: Your problem is not technology. The problem is you. You lack the will to change.
Professor Barnhardt: Then help us change.
Klaatu: I cannot change your nature. You treat the world as you treat each other.
Professor Barnhardt: But every civilization reaches a crisis point eventually.
Klaatu: Most of them don't make it.
Professor Barnhardt: Yours did. How?
Klaatu: Our sun was dying. We had to evolve in order to survive.
Professor Barnhardt: So it was only when your world was threated with destruction that you became what you are now.
Klaatu: Yes.
Professor Barnhardt: Well that's where we are. You say we're on the brink of destruction and you're right. But it's only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve. This is our moment. Don't take it from us, we are close to an answer.
