@charmreduction @grumpyesq @CoquetteStJacq how is that possible?

watched ufo (2018). stupid, poorly written movie... why are the aliens so elusive if they wanna contact us? surely they could make a bigger spectacle if they wanted? imagine if there's been aliens here, trying to contact us, and we just didn't notice

@Rebecca21951651 @RichardDawkins Didn't Darwin kill this dumb argument about the eye? The eye didn't evolve from half an eye, it evolved from a less sophisticated light sensing organ.

at last i have seen barbie (2023). very strange movie...... i don't really get why it got such good ratings/reviews

this one looks straight up post-apocalyptic

which maybe isn't far from how iceland was settled irl

these pics remind me of, like. a human colony on an empty alien planet. barely terraformed, barely survivable. a religious group/cult trying to escape persecution or create their own utopian society. the human will to survive vs the vast, ruthless wilderness
