i don't generally read them but i just realised i am pathologically unable to delete any rando email that comes my way which contains the words ANCIENT ALIENS (usually but not always from pinterest).
JUST IN CASE i guess

also this reminds me that whenever i see some bozo (or it may be not entirely a bozo) with the given job description "theorist", the phrase that comes unbidden into my head is "Ancient Alien Theorists argue that… "

aside from being the most enraging talking head in history (and doing brexit), von daniken favours the term "woman-girl", as in "poseidon found a young woman-girl and he took this woman-girl and made her pregnant"
the other primary theorist sounds exactly like loyd grossman

i like the way the d'awwwctopus unscrews the lid and then just settles comfortably back into the jar: all the time in the world, reinforcements (and cleaning materials) are on the way
also it reminds me of what nietzsche said abt kant, except in this instance it's good not bad (no need to hurry out into overlordship)

It's very much like a foot but I believe it refers more specifically to the foot-like appendage of a species which seeks to violently supplant the human race. Hope that helps!

2022 updatehttps://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/was-interstellar-object-oumuamua-a-chunk-of-exo-pluto/
Here is where we get to the new (and, as yet, unpublished) work. Our Sun isn’t the most common type of star; cooler M-type stars are much more common. M stars are more favorable environments for the creation of worlds covered in nitrogen ice. In our solar system, you have to be nearly at the orbit of Neptune, at 15 a.u., for nitrogen ice to be stable on the surface. However, stars at the lower end of the mass range (technically classified as M8) can host worlds with nitrogen ice at only 1 a.u.Taking into account the huge population of M stars and their more favorable environments for hosting nitrogen ice, Desch and Jackson found that M stars will have ejected 40 times more nitrogen ice fragments than stars like our Sun.That contrast is enough for `Oumuamua’s appearance in our backyard to be a likely accident. Its trajectory, which lies in the galactic plane and has relatively low speed for an interstellar interloper, indicates that it hasn’t been roaming the galaxy on its own for very long; it probably exited its parent solar system up to a few hundred million years ago.
