    Leela: Space bandidos have been operating in this quadrant so you’ll each take 8-hour shifts guarding the safe. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

    Fry: Wait, hold on. I don’t like the sound of that. Let’s just go alphabetically

    Leela: OK. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

    Fry: Wait, let’s go by rank.

    Leela: OK. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

    Fry: Flexo outranks me?

    Flexo: That’s “Flexo outranks me, sir”!







  • I’ve enjoyed them. Something about the writing in this newest batch makes it seem more like the old episodes. I think it’s the pacing and the lack of cringy cutaways. No classics yet, even in the vein of the (original) time machine episode or the body switching one from the last batch, but we’ve got 3 more to go on this season, then 10 more dropping after that, so plenty of time.

    I will say Billy West is sounding old, which is fair because he is old. But fry seems to have taken up smoking since we last saw him













  • lol no

    Statistics are a summarization of data

    All fields use it.

    A statistic is that the climate will increase more than 1.5 degrees by the end of the century

    How we operationalize that information requires other statistical summaries BUT that does not negate the fact that we have passed a tipping point and people are dying because of it…

    That doesn’t absolve us of action now… Or risk of overstating the threat

    Another statistic is that most people don’t understand statistics

    Signed, an actual fucking statistician
