I stayed up all night vomiting! Oh, wait. That’s not good news at all. Actually, the good news is that the first brand-new episode of Futurama premieres tonight on Comedy Central at 10pm EST. I wanted to remind you so you didn’t miss ‘it. The bad news is that I’m taking today off to… well, vomit some more. My apologies to everyone devastated by the lack of profanity-filled, typo-ridden nerd news updates today — I will hopefully be back in action tomorrow.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
