Finally, the center of the Sun has been pierced and we know what keeps that big ball of fire in the sky burning! 😉😁

A compelling and refreshing take on Human/Alien interaction; and in terms of resource extraction, it's true. Any species that has mastered interstellar travel would have also mastered the creation or extraction of the materials needed to do so.
Perhaps all the movies, TV shows, and stories relating to alien invasion is designed to keep us away from this kind of partnership?
I, for one, would welcome a dialogue such as this. I think humanity would do well with such interactions, and being confronted with a larger scope of reality, one outside of the lens of our own world and history, might bring us all together as the Human Race; allowing us to set aside our petty squabbles and disputes for a much larger universe of learning and exploration.
I think I accidentally discovered where a certain "Artist" may have been hiding out for all those years ... 🤔🤨😉😏
Quick question for everyone out there ... is there a group, people, or political power we are not allowed to criticize without fear of retaliation, legal or otherwise?🤔🤨
Pop-culture is proof we are just like the Tamarians in "Darmok" (S:5 E:2), as that we too can and do speak using metaphors and allegories; and do so constantly (at least in my house).
What follows is a chat with GROK regarding the probability of success for an ordinary person to navigate the 40 feet necessary to reach the cockpit and save the plane in 30 seconds while in near zero-G freefall.
You'll find the entire thread in this Q&A quite enlightening. You should probably share this before it is taken down or otherwise removed.
Ordinarily, a deliberate nose-down dive from cruise altitude with no counter-input ends in overspeed, flutter-induced structural failure, or terrain impact, as seen in past intentional crashes. Recovery needs remaining altitude plus someone able to pull up. Here the captain unlocked the door, a passenger intervened, off-duty pilots took control, and the airframe held despite rudder damage. Highly improbable sequence.
Hot take: 😏
Absolutely no one, and I mean no one, has used the F-word with such thespian skill and art as the legendary John Malkovich.
I double-dog dare you to find another actor who's used it as awesomely as he has! 😉😁
Yes! Yes!! and HELL YES!!!
Pay attention @Disney THIS is what we want! This right here. Two minutes and fifty-three seconds of cinematic perfection that carries the weight of extraordinary subtext.
Do this, and maybe we'll consider coming back.
What do you guys think?
Another day, another fan making something that completely shames everything Disney has made since 2016.

Very valuable analysis ...
Is AI The Terminator Or The Big Short? youtu.be/1qlGoRI94rQ?si=FYt_… via @YouTube
Some of the most powerful people in AI are suddenly saying the industry needs to slow down, researchers are warning about extinction, politicians are threatening regulation, and at the same time enormous amounts of money are still pouring into the exact companies sounding the alarm. But when you compare the public warnings with the actual research, the engineering evidence, and what is happening behind the scenes financially, the story starts to look much stranger.
This video follows those contradictions and asks a simple question: who, exactly, is telling us the truth about where AI is heading?
