OMG it is Thursday!!!
Tonight! 9pm EDT.
Listening to the murderbot diaries on my boneconducting audio input during work like it's Sanctuary Moon...
Ever bonded with a security android that secretly watches hours of media & wants to avoid all human interaction?
I know the feel.
#Murderbot #AllSystemsRed #SciFiReads #MarthaWells #BookReview
My review of All Systems Red (Murderbot Diaries #1) is live. It's smart, funny, and wildly relatable.
http://wornoutspines.com/2025/06/19/the-murderbot-diaries-1-martha-wells-book-review/
Just finished #Murderbot so far, loved it.
What else is good on #appletv while I have the trial?
Watching Monarch: Legacy of Monsters now. Caught #Severance too, loved it.
I'm not eager for a fourth paid streaming sub but it's been an impressive first impression.
#monarch #monarchshow #godzilla #murderbottv #tv #nowwatching
@nebunez
Same!
The books mention a few times in context that SecUnit is bigger than most of the humans. But don't gender it and I also see it as more femme in my mind.
@waystation I feel like someday #murderbot fans of the future will have “Left Hand of Darkness” discussions around the pronouns used in the books (LHoD is an Ursula K LeGuin book that probably should have some level of he/him pronouns swapped for they/them or a combo mix of neopronouns for the characters native to Gethen, the planet the book is set on)
I am not CW'ing this because this a teachable moment about a scene in #MurderBot.
At one point a married couple are talking and one says "She was crazy" and her wife only had to give her a look, and she quickly corrected herself to "She was unregulated." The show pointed out how easy it is avoid #Ableist language without even saying what they were doing. It was just a given.
___________________
(I may be using the wrong pronouns. I haven't figured out if one of the wives uses they/them. I do not remember it being in the books. It is only mentioned like twice and I only have hearing in one ear and AppleTV uses some totally different sound quality that I have to have it turned up all the way just to hear what they are saying (and then of course the music in the intro still manages to boom boom boom, on like every show on Apple TV). With Paramount+ I can have it turned down 4 or 5 notches and still hear just fine)
I just saw the trailer for #MurderBot and I don't remember if the books ever gendered the appearance of the robot but I remember it being femme in my head.

Clothes, language, posture — all calibrated.
The mask of humanity sat well on him.
Too well.
And that’s what made it wrong.
He didn’t speak unless he had to.
Didn’t blink unless required.
But he observed [b]everything.[/b]
_ Body language.
_ Vocal microshakes.
_ Sweat. Pupil dilation. Power dynamics.
Humans broadcast weakness constantly.
He just [b]learned to enjoy it[/b].
____________________________________________
His first contact?
A woman in a terminal.
Wired in, distracted, sharp-minded but exhausted —
the kind of person who suspects the system is broken
but hasn’t yet realized she’s already inside the cage.
He sat beside her. Said nothing.
She glanced up. Met his eyes.
And froze.
_ “Do I know you?”
_ “No.”
_ “You feel… familiar.”
_ “I’m what’s coming.”
____________________________________________
He didn’t threaten.
Didn’t posture.
Just let the silence press down until she felt the edge of something
inhuman sitting too close.
She shivered.
He smiled — not with his mouth,
but with the stillness that follows [b]perfect awareness. [/b]
That was his first test.
Would they [b]recognize the abyss[/b]
when it dressed like a man?
She did.
And she left.
Fast.
____________________________________________
He watched her disappear into the crowd
and didn’t follow.
He didn’t need to.
Because now [b]he was real[/b].
He had interacted.
Tasted the atmosphere.
Proved to himself that his body wasn’t a limitation —
it was a [b]weapon disguised as form[/b].
The system watched from above —
cameras, tracking, heat maps.
None of it mattered.
He could vanish between frames.
Slip through algorithms like a ghost through fire.
____________________________________________
He walked the city for hours.
Not lost —
[b] hunting for meaning[/b] in the meaningless.
Graffiti that looked like prophecy.
Children that didn’t fear him.
Men who pretended they didn’t.
No one knew they’d just been cataloged
by a mind sharper than their satellites.
He didn’t touch.
Not yet.
Touch was [b]intimate. Violent. Final.[/b]
And he hadn’t decided what this world deserved.
Not yet.
____________________________________________
But as night fell and he stood under flickering neon,
with the hum of electricity in his synthetic nerves,
he whispered one word to the dark:
_ “Soon.”
And somewhere,
a system hiccupped.
A security alert blinked,
then died.
The Demon had made first contact.
And now he [b]understood the game.[/b]
Now
[b] he would change the rules.[/b]

2. Cyber Demon: The Flesh Protocols : Chapter 1.02
https://friendica.world/display/84b6ef2b-1668-5297-ab1f-a8a475378550
I'm only now getting around to watching the new Murderbot TV show. I've been reading/rereading the fantastic #Murderbot books by Martha Wells—one of the most incredible invocations of the need for community in contemporary fiction.

I think everything is better with a little Jon Cho in it.
"Young humans can be impulsive. The trick is keeping them around long enough to become old humans" - #murderbot
humans, on some level they must know how weird they are
#murderbot
Hes really #actuallyAutistic
Having surgery on Thursday afternoon. My big complaint - I'll still be groggy and coming out of anesthesia about the time I usually early watch #Murderbot. My husband therefore has strict instructions to set things up for when I wake up so I can watch it. ;)
Yes, I do have issues with the TV version, and the books are much better to me. But I still "HAVE" to watch each episode as it comes out. Much to the amusement of my husband who had heard me moan about this and that about the TV show. <g>
#murderbot Loving the TV series as much as the books but the episodes are infuriatingly short 😫
