In other news, I just completed the most ghastly long survey for HBOMax just so I could thank them for the #VentureBros movie and ask for the series back in my comments at the end. #GoTeamVenture
Wait, the clone of Blake just said he’s 34 and if that is true it is the biggest indictment of the NHS under Thatcher there could ever be. No disrespect, but I thought the actor was in his late 40’s. #Blakes7 (Yeah, yeah, I know when she started as PM, fuck off.)
Is there something about the British actors union rules that require higher payment if you show a nonspeaking extra’s face? All the helmets/masks on hench are getting tiresome. #Blakes7
Ok, psychic mobile plants that are made into a highly addictive drug is pretty rad. #Blakes7
76 years ago, this moment. Again.
You gotta admit, a gun full of hot air is pretty on-brand tho portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2021/…
The moral authority of the resistance—and Blake himself—erodes further with every episode. I wouldn’t mind it if he were deliberately portrayed as a kind of antihero, but we’re obviously expected to admire this incompetent prick. #Blakes7

Terra Nostra? Really, #Blakes7? Really? Space Pirate Arabs not racist enough for ya?
ORAC instantaneously hacks into every other computer using the same components, accessing all the information in them. Given what #Blakes7 is fighting for, why doesn't he destroy it, immediately? There's an argument for the moral bankruptcy or the resistance.
Another interesting Apple tidbit: the company tells employees to link their personal iCloud accounts if they need to collab with colleagues when they start. When they leave, they're asked to hand over their laptops w/o wiping them and give managers access to work systems.
Oh no, they're so "testy!" What ever shall we do?!

Hey @TwitterSupport, where did the option go to report Covid misinformation?
My decision not to get vaccinated does not affect anyone else’s health. Full stop. The #ScaredVaccinated are dividing our communities and the country.
Test blueprints, test objectives, and learning objectives. What is the difference? Joy Belinda Beland, CISM@laITgirlWright, lnkd.in/e_kPkJa9
The second story makes me think of @torothhatchling (in a good way)
the intern who took over an office, the dragon pajamas, and other stories to cringe over/revel in dlvr.it/S5KjFx
Two awesome things happen next week. First, I get to take a little vacation. Second, @economyofspace joins my team. One two punch of awesome!
