Stuff and Things

Rick_Weezer_REmix

Over the last two and a half decades The Simpsons have predicted many things, most notably the Trump presidency.  Being one of the longest running and most subversive television shows of all time, The Simpsons has tackled many of the most challenging social issues dealt with today.  This series of GIFs are a snapshot of these, ranging from the education system to issues of class disparity.  I want to reference the online, always connected world we live in, so the title of the series points to a a popular sub on reddit.com, r/thesimpsonsdidit.  This sub examines all the way The Simpsons has predicted the future.  My title does not reference the precognitive abilities the writers of The Simpsons possess, but how they have taken aim at social issues, especially in these trying times.
