Futurama

I'm not affiliated with this shop, so I don't gain anything by promoting it. I just happened to think one day that it would be really cool to have a lighted, Planet Express sign to provide some mood lighting. As it turns out, somebody else thought so, too, because I found this product listing for exactly what I had in mind. It works perfectly as a TV lamp to provide a little extra light when watching at night. Anyway, if you think it's cool, too, here's the link!

I’m sharing a YouTube link, for your privacy and convenience (no ads), I recommend you use a third party viewer. On IOS, FOSS project Unwatched is a good option.

• Audio: There are unfortunately no subtitles available. I’m deaf and still found it entertaining without subtitles but I guess I missed a lot.
• Cognition/Stimualtion: Quite low stim. Not much going on.

Good news everyone!

Burger, pizza and KFC chicken in granulated form. Just glorious!

im 40% lethal baby.

Brickcraft Bender I got for Christmas. Apparently they also have the Planet Express ship!

Creator @ewhac@mastodon.social: ""I had this idea a while back when I saw another mashup between Buck Rogers in The 25th Century and Star Trek: Discovery. It was only in the last couple months that I had the time (and energy) to put it together. And yes, I did the voice."

The box says no!

Currently reading Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov, and stumbled upon the passage that describes the Visi-Sonor. As i read along i made the connection between that and Futurama's Holophonor! Had to go on the futurama wiki on fandom to check it had been noticed by others before. So cool to find out new details in Futurama even after all these years.

Some quotes that align the pair so well,

• Ebling Mis "Near as I can make it, no one on the Foundation can make it talk right"

• Ebling Mis "More often than not, good players are idiots otherwise."

I suppose this is slightly reversed in the Futurama episode, where Fry can only play when he's not an idiot?

• Magnifico speaking about his Visi-Sonor piece "It is but a poor makeshift I have created, but my minds poverty precludes more. I call it, "The Memory of Heaven." "

Much the same as how Fry gets his inspriation.
