Somewhat tongue in cheek, but it does appear that lately every new discovery from the Webb telescope and others, finds things which are contrary to the standard model of how the Universe started, developed, and what we had believed it should consist of and look like.

RE: UFOs —

This should be a cautionary tale for those who are so sure about what UFOs are or are not, so sure of the limits which our current knowledge of Physics puts on travel between star systems, and the possible technology any NHIs might possess.

At this point in our knowledge of the World and of the extent and limits of Reality, our scientific and technological knowledge and development, to say that we know what can and cannot be, what can and cannot be accomplished is just a whole boatload of hubris.

Absent any conrete proof, we just don’t know, and are just guessing.

Because I do think it’s dancing, even if it’s not a style or form any specific person appreciates.

==============================

Neo:

Knowing how much you like dance…

Are you familiar with an (apparently, AFAICS) movement called “Electroswing”?

It seems to have arisen in the last 10y or so, and generally involves some very very impressively energetic dance using mostly shufflesteps, but the better ones seem to more than just that…

The big one seems to be a German guy named Sven Otten, who also goes by “JustSomeMotion” or JSM.

Here’s one that’s a good example, I think.

Another one who has impressed me in what little I’ve seen so far is Gabby David:

This video in particular is a pretty good example of her skills:

I wish I was 25, that I could try this stuff. Hell, I’d try it if I was just 40. ?

The French like to laugh (who doesn’t?) and much of their favorite humor they describe as au second degré — in the second degree.

The first degree is taking things literally, at face value. In fact the French speak of people, who take everything literally as personne au premier degré — first degree people. They don’t see below the surface to double meanings.

Ah, but the second degree, that’s where irony and sarcasm live — where the fun is.

I can’t tell if you are speaking tongue in cheek or as my French friends say “au second degré.”

A structure isn’t necessarily artificial. A structure can emerge from natural forces. As a kid I used to stare at the pattern of bubbles which formed at the bottom of a pan of boiling water. (OK. I was a weird kid.)

These aren’t patterns of stars. These are patterns of galaxies of immense size. The Big Ring has a diameter of 1.3 billion light years and it is 9.2 billion light years away — which means we are seeing a structure 9.2 billion years old, i.e. in the comparatively early universe by Big Bang reckoning that the universe is 13.8 billion years old.

This is a phenomenon like the patterns I saw in boiling water. God-like aliens weren’t moving galaxies around 9 billion years ago.

The last May be a fine point. And FJB has been adamant about being uninvolved. But evidence is reaching the House Impeachment inquiry showing otherwise, namely, from Hunter’s art dealer.

======= HERE’S three paragraphs at JustTheNews.com, in an unusually lengthy story:

The art dealer who sold Hunter Biden’s paintings told Congress that President Joe Biden both called and met him at the White House as he was pitching Hunter’s artwork and that the first son also made an unusual request to be informed about who bought his pieces, according to testimony that directly undercuts the White House narrative on the sales.

The Biden White House repeatedly told the public that Hunter Biden’s art sales were covered by an ethics agreement to ensure they were arms-length and that the first family — Hunter included — was blinded to the identity of buyers.

But George Berges, owner of the prestigious Berges art galleries based in New York and Berlin that sold Hunter Biden’s painting from 2020 to 2023, told congressional impeachment investigators that the first son likely knew the identity of 70% of the buyers – the largest who were Democrat donors – and that Hunter Biden’s first contract made an unusual request when the relationship started.
