this is technically a joek
however
as chatbot users walk further into insular sect territory, they're gonna become more and more sensitive about how the bots are referred to, such that even this minor provocation becomes grounds for a genuine fracas

it's only a model

@suetanvil this is true
choose life
pet a catte instead, if the option is available

I reckon this is more relevant if you hang out in Other Places, but we do what we can where we are

Things are happening in real time. I want to remind you of these points:

1. You are not a news source, and no one expects you to be one. You are not failing an obligation by not (re)posting events as they happen
2. You are not a participant in the events. You are not failing an obligation by not reacting in real time
3. The world is large, and you are somewhere else. Posting about other things is not a failure. It's a function of the world being larger than experience can encompass

Why do we fear liminal spaces?
Is it because they are filled with ominous alien borbs that emote nebulously at us, forever straddling the ambiguous line between toying with us and only ever being prevented from eating us by a lack of bigger claws?
Because that would be a good reason to fear liminal spaces

I love how this movie just casually introduces new concepts to the viewer, without ever having made even passing references to them before. Such as, for instance, that it is time to feed the alien

Let he who has not jury-rigged a glockenspiel out of wooden boards, jars and glass bottles filled with varying amounts of water cast the first stone

The future has the capacity to change the past. By this I do not mean alter the course of past events. Rather, I mean the future has the power to radically alter the framework through which these events are interpreted, and so give new significance to what would at first glance seem to be a settled fact. History is a process in the present

Which is to say: I can only see the Meme

one of these years, I'm gonna figure out when exactly it became standard to put credits at the end of a movie instead of at the front
it was apparently undecided by 1974

also, that little dome thingy is eerily reminiscent of something we'd see in a slightly more popular 1977 movie

is, uh
is that good
were we supposed to do that

Give me dark ominous unknown planets or give me... actually, the dark ominous unknown planet might give me the second part anyway, so just give me that

Interviewer: how would you describe your workflow?
Me:

there it is!

and the winner
making a great Morrowind reference when combined with last week's poll
is
Dark star

She spoke to him in the most ancient of love languages:

Malleable marylebones! We are approaching the cool zone and somehow someone has already given us a residence permit. As such, we have all been given a (1) vote in this week's #FridayMovie poll. Choose, and shiver!

Stellar stochastics! Last week's poll was disturbed by the dual interference of network difficulties (it was literally DNS), sunspots (probably not DNS), and the fact that the result was a tie. Thus, for this week's #FridayMovie poll, we will redo the last one, albeit slightly remixed. Behold! The sky is full of stars!

Waxed poetics! As this year is already over the moon in all categories, metaphorically speaking, I reckon this week's #FridayMovie poll should be all about our beloved lunar orb. And so, I present to you, these stellar options, which may or may not include hints of extraplanetary skullduggery

Prefigured futurities! Seeing how this is the first #FridayMovie poll of the year, we will follow tradition and vote for which mood will set the tone for the months to come. Therefore I present to you four mood pieces, each radically yet subtly distinct
