#monsterdon watch thread:

Tonight, we're watching #StrangerFromVenus - this implies the existence of "guy we already know well from Venus" . As usual I know nothing at all about this going in, I'm expecting that strangers will become friends, lions will lie down with lambs, Lessons Will Be Learnt but who knows, let's take this journey together

People in the past wore hats just to be able to take them off to express suprise

Spouse guesses that they didn't have to pay the actor as much if they promised not to show his face

Is this a day for night shot? The tone is so bad I can't actually tell

There better be some dramatic reveal of this guy's face, like it green, or he has two noses, or he doesn't have one

So he's just a regular looking guy. That was a lot of build up to nothing

Strangely, he was much less creepy when they were hiding his face from us

"We fed the plagiarism and echo machine a bunch of satire and reddit posts, this should be totally fine as a knowledge source"

@jawnsy @dbittman We measure satire in "googles" and no googles have been detected in many moons

Hey, with people in the news getting sentenced to prison, facing the possibility of prison time, etc., just a reminder: it is not desirable, nor funny, that violence in prison (including sexual violence), be a part of someone's punishment. Even people you really, really do not like who have done really super bad things. It is to the United State's shame that violence in prison is part of our carceral system, and we should not celebrate it, ever. We should seek to eliminate it.

@ahimsa_pdx I originally posted it when Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced but it seemed relevant again today
