Asked Dumbledore calmly

It's a joke about checkers. When you get a piece to the end of the board, that piece gets "kinged" by placing a second piece on top of it, usually one you've lost during the game. (That piece can then move both forwards and backwards.)

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.

I like vampires in the Pratchett universe, who often see human hunting as a sport and leave religious symbols, stakes, and garlic around the castle to level the playing field. (Not to mention the black ribbon society, the vampire equivalent to AA.)

It's cool, he'll replace it with his concepts of a plan.

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.

Luck of the Fryish, I think, right after Fry declares his bad luck is over and then slips and falls into the sewer.

Nah, good guess but Bender flushes himself in that one and Leela and Fry go looking for him. I think this is Luck of the Fryish, when they went looking for Fry's seven-leaf clover.

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