That too, but there was also a gag in an episode where they're at a ski lodge where Fry says, "Thank god global warming never happened," and Leela responds, "Actually it did, but thank god for nuclear winter."

Sounds like it's time for Vetinari to have a word with them.

That was how I felt about Blair Witch. Full disclosure, I don't like horror to begin with, but to me the movie was about a group of people in the woods with a scary thing somewhere, and when they finally find the thing it ends.

It's like if Texas Chainsaw was about a bunch of teenagers who stood around while you hear a chainsaw running somewhere in the distance, the cuts to black right when the killer shows up.

I couldn't watch it, not because it wasn't good but because I was constantly getting unbelievably depressed about how accurately it mirrors the world today. Every scene had me thinking "this would be funny if it wasn't exactly how it would actually pan out." I think it might be hilarious a few decades after this all blows over but right now it hits way too close to home.

And they won the Senate and are on track to win the house. The supreme Court is already in Trump's pocket and even if he choked on a big Mac and keeled over tomorrow that still leaves Vance, who is just as insane as trump but knows how to make his shit palatable to anyone who hasn't been paying attention, which as tonight proves is more than half the country. We are 1000% well and truly fucked.

The unfortunate drawback of democracy: these people get the same vote the most well-informed altruistic voters do.

I think we still can't beat Giuliani booking the four seasons gardening center next to the dildo emporium.

That's working under the generous assumption he was there to protect American ideals, and not to fulfill his dream of shooting brown people.

Was that before or after trying to sexually gratify the microphone?

Or the same form, with a different coat of paint.

They couldn't turn the world today into a movie because the writing would be called too lazy and ham-fisted to be realistic.
