Pluribus so far feels like a cross between Three Body Problem, The Last of Us and The Quiet Earth. Digging it but hope it ends up being more than that.

(Re: nuclear tests resuming) Was watching House of Dynamite last night and realized Trump must have watched it on the flight home from Beijing and thought it was real.

Hot take: The Hunt for Ben Solo would have sucked.

What if the emporer just decides to dissolve the senate? I feel like that was always going to be a goal and considering current events I wouldn’t be surprised. youtu.be/Y3OiIjIvN0A?...

Did they use AI to make this terrible logo? I dont know where to look. Its skewed. Its wavy. “And” is bigger than “The”. Star Wars randomly on top and the same weight. The A’s dont have lines through them and look like part of the letter M next to the Ns. And I haven’t even mentioned the title. 😐

Our first MadMicrobe Philly Meetup was a huge success!
This past weekend, most of our team came together in the City of Brotherly Love for inspiring strategy sessions, creative collaboration, and—most importantly—quality time together.

Hot take on current national insanity. Govt is cutting regulations, medications, services and protections to get everyone as sick, poor, uneducated vulnerable and dependent as possible in order to thin out the herd and invoke some kind of biblical prophecy. Or, just to be jerks.

Just saying, it might be a good idea to brush up on your Black Mirror…

And in the most important news in The United States this month, a pop star got engaged and people are mad about a breakfast chain restaurant’s logo.

Finally watched Alien Covenant. Get rid of the David crap and it was OK although as with all the films, its just the same formula creature slasher film. As a sciency animation guy, i liked this shot. youtu.be/3oybSsAFII0?...

Alien Earth is getting dumber and dumber. Also in other unrelated news, we now live in a totalitarian state.

Unpopular opinion. Alien Earth is OK. Also Superman was… meh. Having lived through the classics, everything just feels so derivative of late. Mediocrity is applauded I suppose since art, culture and current events are so dismal these days. Happy Thursday!
