I'm always a little bummed at simplistic or revised history to follow a narrative.

Looking up reviews - it definitely glossed over a lot of his life - but always entertaining when you realize which holes may exist.

Seems they very much over indexed on Spider-Man the initial Iron Man films, but gave no mention of X-Men which proved that comic book (ensemble) movies could be profitable. We had Blade a few years prior, but was seemingly ignored in most history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe beginnings.

I still have a snapshot of the entire website (because I managed all the infrastructure and hosting, so there's some archival art and animation that needs to find its way to the Internet Archive shortly.)

There were a few other projects, but need to dive into my backups and notes.

The Conan and Striperella properties were negotiated during SLM's existence, but god credited in a very murky period in the book. They also missed that SLM worked on a 7th Portal ride for the Six Flags parks, which was a good chunk of work in the Summer of 2000. As well as The Backstreet Project.

They very much glossed over the failure that was Stan Lee Media, and spun it merely as a way to give Bill Clinton a departing send off in 2000 in LA... and focused only on POW Entertainment - skipping the debacles of his startup of 1998-2000. It was kind of sad, given there were other references.

Any particular day that worked well… I may try to be organizationally inclined.

Well, I’m down with Pho… as for organizing… somebody will have to give me items and preferences… it’s my first time for #RSAC (weird, I know)

Weird, because as a Fed who was in various technology roles, including a CIO and CTO role that we, indeed, used SQL among many other database query languages.

A simple contract examination will highlight products purchased, and source code analysis will bring to light.

Wait, they didn’t do that?!

A friend of mine worked with that effort at USDS too… shame.

Bro… seemed like Chad was picking a fight… I mean, he’s spicy

Well, he’s supposedly a lawyer and former Federal prosecutor.

Also, pretty sure the DOGE folks haven’t been fully cleared, not even with a Public Trust clearance for CUI. I get cleared pretty fast, and I don’t believe I got in under two weeks.

Also a constituent who knows how these attacked agencies work and has a clue as to cybersecurity and IT ops… if you need some ideas on defensive tactics, give me a call.

Otherwise get to work and stop this - you’re the other branch of three in Federal government…

They should not. Just because they work for part of EOP/OMB does not give them carte blanche in agency systems, where many bureaus and offices are segmented, and some classified as national security systems with stringent access requirements. These lackeys are 100% not cleared by normal means.
