Hi, all. I write jokes for TV, but not long ago I was a financial analyst. I had my Series 7. For those who say Fran Drescher or any SAG-AFTRA member should stop whining and appreciate what they have, let me give you a lesson in capitalism. 🧵
It's guaranteed to get your attention when another lawyer emails you and says, "I'd rather discuss this on the phone." (Other lawyers, you know.)
My email has been offline off and on most of the last two days. If you have sent me an email in that time, I most likely have not seen it. I apologize and will continue to work on getting it restored ASAP. In the meantime you can use whipplelegal at gmail dot com or DM me here.
Hello #lawtwitter: I have a friend who has a friend who needs criminal representation in Polk County, Iowa. Young and hungry preferred, there is a budget but it is not ginormous. Hopefully should be a simple matter. (*crosses fingers*) If you know anybody, referral appreciated.

Big thank you to @TeamSkeet for removing the video and respecting my wishes. It’s annoying that I have to find myself in these situations but I always appreciate when the company has a performers back, it’s not often.
@0K_ultra @rotaborn @teacherinRI But on your original point, I think it's subtly implied that the corporation wanted Lt. Goreman to lead the mission BECAUSE he was inexperienced. They needed the Marines to fuck up and be forced to retreat while Burke sneaks a facehugger into Ripley's pod.
@0K_ultra @rotaborn @teacherinRI nor do they have a biological need to seek out more humans to kill/eat/infect. Xenomorphs have a species-wide drive to kill us in a variety of gruesome ways.
@0K_ultra @rotaborn @teacherinRI of Ripley's biggest fears. 3) Xenomorphs don't usually engage in wide-open fields where it would be easiest to kill them. They've proven to be very adept at using human architecture as lethal hunting grounds, too. 4) Chimps aren't born via lethal parasitic infection of humans,
@0K_ultra @rotaborn @teacherinRI 2) We can defeat bed bugs just by squishing them, but for some reason we have massive infestations of them across the country. All it takes is a single facehugger sneaking into a civilian population to start an apocalyptic level threat. We see this over and over again, and is one
@0K_ultra @rotaborn @teacherinRI 1) Eusocial in this case is more than just well-disciplined. Members of the hive (except maybe the Queen) are incapable of putting themselves above the good of the whole. There's 0 in-fighting, no defectors, no deserters, etc. This is a biological trait that humans can't match.
@LnkMxwl @rotaborn @teacherinRI 5) again , chimp in a suicide vest (wired to its heartbeat or maybe some fancy damage sensor) would work about as good as a Xeno, it would close in fast and gore its adversary and if killed, will inflict substantial trouble on everything nearby
@LnkMxwl @rotaborn @teacherinRI 4) Well, fair, but a chimp with knives duct taped to its hands and with a suicide vest would be even worse (it's stronger and faster, somewhat smart, and its lower profile is an advantage because it's harder to shoot) >
@LnkMxwl @rotaborn @teacherinRI bullets, mortars and rockets at you as well as engaging in infiltration and "behind enemy lines" operations, so not in any sense easier than Xenos who at least only fight close range (going into "hive combat" with them is pretty fucking stupid yes, yes, that's the point) >
@LnkMxwl @rotaborn @teacherinRI xenomorphs had the hiding advantage (frankly IMVHO the right decision would have been to pull out and regroup at first sign of definite foul play 3) Eusociality is besides the point, any competent fighting force can be modeled as "eusocial killers" and human one will shoot >
@LnkMxwl @rotaborn @teacherinRI 1) I'd characterize their intelligence as idiosyncratic. They are definitely capable of maneuvering and, at least queen, interacting with equipment but they are stubbornly non tool using 2) well, one of the major tactical errors was advancing into the hive at all, where >
@0K_ultra @rotaborn @teacherinRI Xenomorphs are: 1) Highly intelligent, possibly comparable to humans 2) Nearly impossible to see when they're hiding 3) Eusocial killers 4) Larger, stronger, faster than humans 5) Filled with the strongest acid in the galaxy
@rotaborn @teacherinRI the operation was absolutely FUBAR planning and execution wise, and Xenos frankly aren't that much of an exotic threat (a chimp in a [suiunaliving] vest would be about as bad) but I suspect a lot of it is "Cameron had no budget for a consultant" problem
I guess Aliens comes to mind because Colonial Marines are supposed to be a close USMC stand-in and are portrayed sympathetically but also gratuitously incompetent
@0K_ultra All the ones I could think of have been said, outside maybe obvious ones like war movies (midway, etc) but one example that immediately sprang to mind of what you said was 28 weeks later. Those yurocucks portray the USM as not merely incompetent but monstrously stupid
@0K_ultra The Mist. I mean, maybe they were depicted as a smidge *late* but...
@0K_ultra iirc in War of the Worlds (2005) the military is portrayed as benevolent and competent if nevertheless hopelessly outmatched - they valiantly sacrifice themselves in delaying actions so civilians can escape
