SBF Is Cooked -- By His Own Cross Ex; While He & Theranos Get Roasted On Simpsons, As Well...


Sure -- it's a lil' stale by now. But when the would-be Theranos logo on the ball park is tossed into the abyss. . . of never-was -- and FTX appears, along with MoviePass, Quibi as other misfit toys -- I couldn't stifle my laughter.

The bit about her up and marrying Burns was classic, as well.

See it if you'd like -- and I suspect we are reaching the end of the 15 minutes for her. . . and SBF, in truth. He'll see the same outcome -- in about a week or so.

Here's a bit of a nice review of the episode in SFGate though -- do go read it all:

. . .While the focus on Holmes might seem a bit dated considering her trial ended last year and the tech industry is currently dealing with a surge in layoffs, there are a few strikingly timely scenes.

When “Lifeboat” [the faux-Theranos logo] is removed from a sports stadium, a logo for the bankrupt crypto company “FTX” is shown underneath, then iconography for similarly failed startups “Moviepass” and “Quibi.”

Elon Musk gets a harsher treatment than in his early “Simpsons” appearances: Burns buys Twitter for Persephone [a/k/a Holmes] as a gift, and at a bargain price after the billionaire’s “self-driving Mars rocket crashed into the International Space Station
. . . .”


Hilarious. Yes -- SBF has fallen right onto his own sword (testifying disastrously, under able cross-examination, yesterday and today), and yes, the wound is. . . fatal.

Onward -- enjoying a snowy, spooky Halloween '23 now -- kids a go go, at the door, now!
