Over the last week, I've been marvelling at how much bad/somewhat depressing news there seems to be around at the moment.
So I will go out of my way to note that there is something that is cheering me up at least once a week - the new episodes of Futurama. The revival of the show has been a clear success, and I find it hard to imagine anyone being disappointed with it. [Update: OK, I have checked some online reviews, and there are some people who are underwhelmed. I would agree, it does sometimes feel a bit "fan-service-y", but I think in a good way.]
Last week's episode - a satire of the Covid pandemic - handled it very well, I thought, with good and clever jokes that both sides (the antivax conservatives, and the sane) could enjoy. That's quite a fine line they managed to walk...
