The Mighty Martian

"Say hello to my little friend." - Charles-Henri Sanson

We now know how the huge debt the PCs came to #Mothership with happened. This episode totally needs a Masters of the Universe style PSA about the risks of carousing.

Imagine if people spent half as much time making the world a better place as they did fretting about what some stranger they're likely to never encounter again as long as they live is wearing.

I think that might describe me and half the characters I ever rolled up!

WE HAVE SUCH SIGHTS TO SHOW YOU....

I'm hearing this voice saying "Take that meat cleaver..."

It's an interesting idea, in that I can think of some works, such as those of Jane Austen (in particular Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park), Tolkien, and yes, though it's said too often, Shakespeare, where there's a universality that transcends the culture in which they were written.

Surely by now the fact that AI hallucinates should be widely known. I've seen it do all kinds of peculiar things, find a paper, but hallucinate the DOI. I've seen titles for one paper, authors of another, or weird mixes of the two. I mean, how long does it take just to read the abstract to verify?

That's the tragedy of the commons restated in terms of total apathy.

10,000 years of civilization, and somehow we still think the gods will intervene on our behalf against nature.

I have it on good authority that it's caused by Tylenol. Only the best experts contributed to this highly scientific opinion.

Rapture called off due to missile strike. When asked for comment, Yahweh simply said "Fuck those guys."

I love nature and I love spiders... from a great distance!

That's Boris "Mr. Ethics" Johnson to you mate.

"Bodies in lockers... Put bodies in lockers..."

"Yes Elvis."

For what it is, I don't mind Aliens. It's very much an 80s "Army fuck ya!" film, with more in common with Commando than with its predecessor. The extended cut is a bit better, but it's still an outrageously jingoistic film.

The original is still the best of the whole franchise.

I have to do something about the Peoples Republic of My Storage Space very soon.

I'd just like to compliment Mike on his mellow unflappable face.

It's normalizing military occupation. Spreading mulch is basically spreading propaganda that "We're here to help."

I think we need to consult 3d6DTL's resident synthetic on this matter.

What is the context of this? Factually wrong about what?

John Bolton is a fanatic, but he's a sincere fanatic (which makes him scary in his own special way). The idea of him hoarding documents seems bizarre. I imagine this has more to do with him referring to the first Trump Administration being like a bunch of drug dealers.

I'm a big fan of the Invisible Pixies Theorem myself. Also explains radioactive decay (Invisible Pixies on invisible treadmills), black holes (Invisible Pixies eating large quantities of invisible angel food cake, naturally) and my toaster's propensity to burn toast (darned Invisible Pixies).

Now that I know what the white goo is...

And my daily commute just got awesome.

Just one of the great lines of superhero movie history. The Richard Lester cut is a lesser work, but the way Stamp delivered that line, with such power and confidence, I remember sitting in that theater thinking "Superman is screwed".

Tune in next week, when Bill Cosby is nominated for a Nobel prize.

That is awesome! Started listening to session 0 this morning. Can hardly wait for androids that go "Meh."

Not since Trofim Lysenko have we had a man so well suited to his job... of killing lots of people through stupidity.
