In the end, they only had Iris's word for what happened. There were no recordings of the giant space amoeba, or pictures, or anything. (We have pictures of Sam shagging his gun, but no pictures of woman-eating plants or space-ship sized amoebas). What actually happened was she got tired of Sam […]

If I had to review tonight's film with a single image, I think it would be this. #monsterdon

Gerald "please no" Mohr #monsterdon

He is so nice. He used my real name. It must be true love. #monsterdon

Professor only used a pipe. He died. Woman scientist uses test tubes and saves everyone. #monsterdon

Wait, did one of them just die of No Reason? #Monsterdon #theangryredplanet

I think I was meant to feel something here. Well, something other than relief. #monsterdon

This is what all the servers in my garage look like. #monsterdon

Americans have only been here 3 days and they've already built Disneyland Mars!? #monsterdon

_Look at the gauges. They're all pegged. It must be some kind of force field._ Or maybe Sam shaving at the comms desk blew a fuse in the gauges. #monsterdon

They laugh at what the Woman sees but the Professor's 'vague sense of unease' means they cut the mission short. #monsterdon

It's not like any water on Earth. You couldn't do dishes with it. At least not dishes as we know them. #monsterdon

The "laser gun" makes the same sound as Rudolph's nose in the classic claymation. #monsterdon

...could you please also not smoke a pipe in a spacecraft running an atmosphere of compressed oxygen and recirculated air #monsterdon

This is going to require an unusually large amount of... science. #monsterdon

OMG. The chemistry between them is like sour milk. #monsterdon

"What do you say we go back to the ship?" "Yeah, we have discovered exactly one thing on Mars. That's enough for one day." #monsterdon

"I know you think I acted like a hysterical female back there, but I can take care of myself. I won't get out of your sight." "Have it your way, Irish." *she immediately walks out of his sight* welp✕3 #monsterdon

I'm wearing my 3D glasses from Creature of the Black Lagoon and I can't see shit. #monsterdon

"I wish I had never come here, and I don't want to see no more magic" -Samwise Gamgee #monsterdon

is any of what they're about to do ethical? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #monsterdonmemes #theangryredplanet

Bad acting meter... #monsterdon

You can't claim the planet in the name of Brooklyn unless you brought a pizza oven #Monsterdon #theangryredplanet

"God DAMN it Roy. Look at how big this ship is. Can't you shave in the lav? I don't want your damn whiskers all over the comms station!" #monsterdon

"When I say your name... you'll know." "You actually SAID that line? I didn't think the writers were serious." #monsterdon

They have been flying ONE day and he's already kissing the equipment. #monsterdon

This is the size of a USB port in the 1950s. #monsterdon

"What happened" "I don't know" "A lot depends on your answer." "Oh, in that case I guess I'll remember." #monsterdon

I don't think we have ever had a sausagefest quite like this. We don't even have the token woman serving coffee or swooning over the handsome lead. #monsterdon

"This is a repeat of previous instructions." Sorry, general. As an AI assistant I have already forgotten all previous instructions. #monsterdon

Zero people have ever stood on the sidewalk watching the TV news in the window of a high street shop. #monsterdon

"Well done professor. You very skillfully counted down from 10 to 1." #monsterdon

In this scene, several very serious old white men will scientifically determine everything that happened without looking at a single sheet of paper, looking up any figures, or consulting with anything other than their own personal grey matter. #monsterdon

This quote boils my blood, so I’ll make my own post about it. ‘“Governance must shift from prevention to risk containment,” Dai said.’ …providing absolutely no reason or justification. He failed to articulate any harm that comes from preventing. He made no comparisons. Just asserts effortlessly […]

Looking at tonight’s #monsterdon on my #plex app. It appears to have tried to pull films out of my library that are “Related” through some perverse, opaque relationship. The thing is, I have like 50 Monsterdon films in there. Virtually ANY of them is more […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

My only cloud experience is AWS, so I know precisely jack squat about Azure. But the number of times this blog says “which does not generate any logs” is shocking. https://dirkjanm.io/obtaining-global-admin-in-every-entra-id-tenant-with-actor-tokens/

This is amazing.

Get #caturday kicked off with some doofusness from #mrmittens. Laying in wait, camouflaged under the bath mat, waiting for the time to spring onto the bird. #cats

I get it. This is meant to demonstrate flexibility and all that. But all I can think of is “we will teach you to kick yourself in the back of the head.”

The ACIP vote was tied 6-6 for requiring everyone to get a prescription for the COVID19 vaccine. The chair broke the tie by voting NO. Prescriptions will NOT be required.

There’s a ton of misinformation around WaPo’s reasons for firing me that I need to clear up. Posts coming soon.

computers were a mistake [remembers that I met my husband online] all computers not directly serving the purpose of socially interconnecting the world's weirdest 1% of people were a mistake

The American Association of University Professors has sad advice for faculty members who want to speak their minds: Be afraid, and shut up. This kind of weakness failed during the malignant era of Joe McCarthy. When bullies see bended knees, they escalate the abuse […]

Years ago, I did a semi-serious comparison of the processes of UK clearance and becoming a Debian Developer and concluded that being on the DD key ring required more stringent checks. At some stage, the likes of PyPi, NPM, HuggingFace (and perhaps even Git itself) need to catch up with (and then […]

Hey "seniors": Ask "stupid questions" where your juniors can see you asking them and getting answers from other people. Don't make juniors feel alone in not knowing something and being the only ones asking for help.

All the talent and is just sitting there to create a powerhouse crowd sourced multimedia U.S. liberal news and entertainment empire. #KIMMEL, #Colbert, #maddow and #JonStewart. Whatever any of them choose to do next, it needs to include and lean into #opensocial as one of their channels.

My latest encounter with a person using AI badly. I was asked to provide feedback on a project plan. It was big and wide-ranging and it included plans to work on a specific kind of data that we have a term for. Let’s call it ABC data. So I’m reviewing it and this team is not going to be […]
