Ming: Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today?
Klytus: An obscure body in the S-K system. The inhabitants refer to it as the planet...Earth.
Ming: How peaceful it looks...[Causes an earthquake.]
Klytus: Most effective, Your Majesty. Will you destroy this...ah...Earth?
Ming: Later. I like to play with things a while, before annihilation. - Flash Gordon (1980)
There’s even more pictures, from the second page of the link:
Never before have I so deeply wanted to live in the world of someone’s artwork. Those pictures with the human just burying their entire upper body in the floof, they speak to me on a spiritual level.
I really respect the guy that just keeps faceplanting all of the softest looking creatures. Same, dude. same.
Fortunately, human beings are capable of sloughing off inherited identities and adopting new ones. The “1619 Project” will be a demoralizing read for anyone who is (consciously or otherwise) invested in white American identity. But investing in that identity is a choice. The notion that a second-generation German-American is connected by heritage to Thomas Jefferson — but not Frederick Douglass — isn’t rooted in any objective fact. There’s no inherent reason why such a person should identify with the former and not the latter. It is a myth of common ancestry that makes Donald Trump and George Washington members of the same “people”; it is a fact of natural history that makes Trump, Washington, Eric Erickson, Harriet Tubman, and Malcolm X descendants of a common ancestor and thus members of the same human family.And the facts of this continent’s history make them members of the same American nation.
