Ars Technica

I may just be overly paranoid, but seeing QR codes in TV Advertisements just triggers my InfoSec brain on a whole different level. We've spent so long training people not to open random files and emails and such and then we start seeing marketing people just throw random codes on a screen and expect people to scan away...

Remember many of the same Republicans who shouted "liar" during the State of the Union address refuse to expel George Santos from Congress.
The Vast of Night (2020 US) students investigate a mysterious signal in 1950’s New Mexico. I like to call this a great little film that could. With a budget of 700k which was spent mostly on costumes and props including cars, director Andrew Peterson did a great job creating tension and just the right amount. It can be a bit of a slow burn sometimes as it gets into the details of radio reception and science. It’s kind of cool that way, but then it picks up. I enjoyed it. Find it on Amazon. I’m not seeing it for rent in my region. #SciFi #SciFiJanuary #ScienceFiction #Film #Films #FilmFan #Movie #Movies #Cinema

Absolutely loved #ForAllMankind.

Proper sci fi with a ridiculous cliffhanger at the end of each episode.

Not sure there's anything else as good on Apple TV.

Okay, Mastodon, help me out. I want to find characters like Cordelia Naismith from Louis McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series.

Female protagonist in her 30s, action vibes, political intrigue vibes, strong M/F romance arc; a bit of life philosophy, castles, and/or spaceships for good measure.
