Picture of Adrien Brody's face, and an unrelated file on my desktop that mysteriously turned into it

Context: Some fellow Plankheads and I are planning to do a live-action version of Brodyquest at Anthrocon in a couple weeks, so I needed to make some Brody masks. Well, I saved it onto my desktop, AND THEN THE ENDING OF BRODYQUEST ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

    Now, on the one hand, yes, of course, why shouldn’t it say that? That’s my title.

    On the other hand, this was typed in by another human being. And not just any human being, but an administrator at an academic institution, in the context of entirely legitimate academic administration.

    This is so weird.

      Thanks to all the NYC Anarchist Bookfair who came to the joint ATS/Plankhead workshop on Basic Tech Security. For those of you reading this who have no idea what I’m talking about, uh, I did a joint workshop with ATS on Basic Tech Security at the Anarchist Bookfair. I mean, duh.
