I saw the movie War Games as a child.
Matthew Broderick is exceptional as lead.
Way better than his lackluster performance
in Ferris Bueller’s Day, Slacking-Off!

A little known fact is that Ferris Bueller
is actually David Lightman.
After all that hullabaloo about starting
Global Thermonuclear War,
David had to go into witness protection.

I used to be pro-nuclear disarmament.
It seems like a good idea, right?
Humans are flakey; we have emotions.
I mean, if I had a button in front of me,
I might have have pressed it already.

But upon further inspection,
the ability to blow up
one’s whole planet
at a moment’s notice
could be the only thing
keeping the Independence Day aliens
from taking our shit.
