One excerpt I enjoyed reading.

Michael Jackson guest-starred as Leon Kompowsky, but went uncredited (credited as John Jay Smith) for contractual reasons; his role was not confirmed until later. Jackson was a fan of the show and called its creator, Matt Groening, offering to do a guest spot. Jackson pitched several story ideas and wrote the song "Happy Birthday Lisa" for the episode. Leon's singing voice was performed by a Jackson soundalike, Kipp Lennon, due to Jackson's contractual obligations with his record company.[3] The episode references Jackson's career, with Kompowsky singing portions of the songs "Billie Jean" and "Ben".

Side note, why does this link above go through Google?

Android browser share button doesn't copy the URL as shown. It prefixes the title to the clipboard content to help hide (behind "too long text") that it secretly, unprompted, uses the share.google link shortener / tracking service.

I got bit by it within the last week. Fuck that feature.

I think it used to have a way to actually copy the URL, but most mobile browsers are making that harder for a variety of reasons.

I recommend Firefox for Android, share works normally, and you can install extensions. I have one for ad blocking and one to keep YouTube running even when I minimize the browser or lock the screen.
