reminds me of the classic 90s joke "who is this General Failure and why is he reading my drive?"

Well, if she's in the offensive cyberwarfare division...

Major Major had been born too late and too mediocre. Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three. Even among men lacking all distinction he inevitably stood out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was.

• Catch-22

Edit: man, I just need to reread this book huh? It's insane that the entire novel reads like this, and it's hysterical. Joseph Heller was a madman.

If you haven't read Catch-22, do yourself a favor. It's so goddamn funny.

"What did you say her name was?"

I didn't realise Olivia Coleman held an officer commission.

My first thought was, who the fuck names their kid "Data".

Then I realized there is a local radio personality named Oedipus, and I always thought what kind of parent names their kid that.

But then I remembered that that, is in fact, a stage name.

But I don't think you can use stage names in the military?

So maybe they are NB and this was their chosen name? But I don't think thd military would really go for that, let alone put them on TV (though I have no doubts that the best cyber security researchers out there are, in fact, queer).

So now I'm just more confused about everything.

Remember when Bowser was CEO of Nintendo? Fun times.

looks like a command and conquer briefing

Sheep in the Big City was a great show for puns. There were two Generals in that show. General Specific and General Lee Outrageous.

She got the job after Colonel Failure was promoted to general.

I remember Data (nee Center), I went to school with her. She was always a good student

Catch 22 anyone?

Major Major Major Major.

Which English-speaking country has uniforms that look like that? That looks Russian or Spanish or something.

Still better than Superman i guess.

They didn't learn their lesson after Reality Winner.

I will steal a joke from Beavis and Butt Head.

"I see you have already given yourself military rankings, Major Woody and Private Parts!!!"

I'm glad that she's come so far so quickly. It seems like only yesterday they were talking about a Private Data Breach.

I dated a guy named Data once. We were into ballroom dancing, had to break up due to his first name.

"Who is General Protection Fault and why is he reading my memory?"

Reminds me of a running joke in How I Met Your Mother where they’d salute people when they used words like general and major in conversation

Give that lady a promotion!

It'd be less confusing to see a headline about "Lt. Col. Data Breach"

I thought Data was an android name. This seems like it might be cultural appropriation.
