Futurama is chock full of big and little jokes, many not spoken, and I often have to pause to read them.

Nixon’s head refering to his people as “fellow Earthicans” is always on point somehow. Also endorsing products during his speeches. And calling the flag “ol’ Freebie”.

Also, considering Futurama was most active in the 20-oughts, it’s often interesting to see how they satirize the very same issues the US are dealing with today.

I’m currently re-watching the whole shebang and sometimes I just have to take a screenshot. Unpolitical, therefore somewhat OT:

You mean you… no, it can’t be.

🎶 What if I bake you a coconut cake?
With lots of nuts, the kind that you hate?
What if I threw your car keys in the lake?

What if I took you to the edge?
What if I pushed you off a ledge?
What if I scratched all your Sister Sledge?

Would you still love me? 🎶

Oh, I see it now. Yeah, another 5 minutes wasted.

TikTok outrages should never become news headlines.

But it’s the Daily Fail, so 🤷

That said - as if he could tell what each one would taste like.

I’m guessing there’s many different types of cucumbers, but now that you said it, yeah, definitely ai and definitely somehow a mix of cucumber and zucchini, although all these plants are related anyhow.

Damn. Too slick for me.

love the ambiguity

Not the rays, the anger. I guess.

I do not understand how you can be the free love hippies of the 1960’s and then turn around and vote for Nixon.

Did you vote for Trump? What are your children going to say about you?

This guy is less likely to rage out on someone IRL, and they know it.

Maybe it’s a “Tout Directions =>” type of situation? Often used in France to get through towns.

Funny, this made me think of kidnapping & ransom demand.

Damn. I’m a little skeptical of the bird’s perfect outline, but this is - unfortunately - a totally realistic scenario. They can hit the glass with such speed that they don’t survive.

TIL: B-52s because of the hairdos that looked like airplane nose cones. Fred Schneider said it.

They were so hot in 1979. Even the studio album. Can’t imagine having seem them live.

Unfortunately I just cannot listen to or watch Yoko Ono, and her reminiscing with Kate Pierson in what I assume are the 90s is just sad.

edit: I’m not “disparaging” Ono. Sheesh. And the interview makes me sad for Kate Pierson just as much.

I heard WW3 will be a major plot element in the next season.

Just like yesterday. And the day before that. And all last week. Well, ever since January. 2021? No, I meant '25, but it could be just as well.

I guess it would.

OTOH it’s always one of the first things I disable on my phone. That being mandatory would piss me off.
