    A rival set of Engineers, different to the space Jesus ones from Prometheus, created Red Matter and the Romulans. 

    Now the Alien and Borg Queen have joined forces to create Alien-Borg Drone hybrids. In space resistance is futile

    In the vast, cold expanse of space, where the stars are the only witnesses to the eternal struggle for supremacy, the creation of Red Matter by a rival set of engineers marked a new era in cosmic engineering. Unlike the divine aspirations of the so-called space Jesus engineers from Prometheus, these engineers harbored no illusions of benevolence. Their ambition was clear and unclouded by morality: to harness the very fabric of the universe to their will. And in their quest for dominance, they gave rise to the Romulans, a race as cunning as they were ruthless, masters of subterfuge and manipulation.

    But the universe, in its infinite complexity, had already set the stage for a far more terrifying alliance. The Alien and the Borg Queen, two of the most fearsome entities to ever scourge the galaxy, had seen the potential in combining their strengths. The Alien, with its unparalleled adaptability and ferocity, and the Borg Queen, with her cold, calculating intelligence and technological supremacy, were on the verge of creating something unimaginable: Alien-Borg Drone hybrids.

    These hybrids were the epitome of perfection in the art of war. With the Alien's biological adaptability and the Borg's technological enhancements, they were virtually unstoppable. Their hive mind allowed for flawless coordination, making their attacks devastatingly efficient. Their bodies, a grotesque fusion of organic and mechanical, were capable of self-repair and could adapt to any environment, making them equally formidable in the vacuum of space as on the surface of a planet.

    The creation of these hybrids signaled a new age of darkness for the galaxy. Entire civilizations fell in their wake, unable to mount a defense against an enemy that could assimilate and adapt to any strategy thrown against them. Resistance, as the Borg Queen so eloquently put it, was futile.

    Yet, in the face of this seemingly insurmountable threat, a spark of hope emerged. A coalition of the galaxy's most brilliant minds, including those who had once believed in the sanctity of creation as envisaged by the space Jesus engineers, began to gather. Realizing that their differences paled in comparison to the threat at hand, they united their knowledge and resources in a desperate attempt to find a weakness in the Alien-Borg hybrids.

    Their efforts led them to the very heart of the galaxy, where ancient civilizations had once harnessed the power of black holes. Here, hidden in the remnants of these long-gone societies, they discovered the existence of a substance even more potent than Red Matter: the White Singularity. Unlike Red Matter, which could create or manipulate black holes, the White Singularity had the potential to unravel the very fabric of the Borg's technological enhancements, rendering them susceptible to attack.

    As the coalition worked feverishly to weaponize the White Singularity, they knew that the fate of the galaxy hung in the balance. The final confrontation, when it came, would be fought not just with weapons, but with the very principles that defined them: the belief in the sanctity of life, the value of diversity, and the indomitable spirit of resistance.

    In the cold, merciless expanse of space, where the struggle for survival knows no bounds, the ultimate battle between creation and destruction, between unity and assimilation, was about to begin.

    my wife sent me this video. It is a bit “well duh” but also a good reminder of how we can all get stuck in our heads… and should feel ok to not give fucks sometimes. I should maybe read the RR book. 

    as I wrote in the book topic I really like the rick rubin book. it really well points to the very core issues why we sometimes struggle to create new art and defines it really well what we are actually doing when creating art and why. 

    for me my creative goals are to get a new MacBook and to streamline my studio so I need under 30 seconds to boot it up so to say and have it ready to create a new track. currently due to the old MacBook it takes much too long to get to the point where I really create a new track. if I can get it unter 10 seconds that would be perfect as I don't want to do "computer work" every time I want to start a new track. the analog rytm has to be ready. the keyboard has to be ready and all mapping has to be ready before. I need a track template I can work into right away. no wasting time with setting up filter chains or configuring in / out channels. all of that stops me from creating.

    Right from the first teaser I thought it looked like a mix between Vidocq and Children of the Lost City with the silliness of The Favourite - which is where I really turned on Yorgos Lanthimos - and that is not for me. My girlfriend was really looking forward to it and said I was being silly, so she watched it with a friend. When she came back she said she hated it and I would have hated it even more. My friend who is the constant contrarian laughed at me not wanting to watch it. He saw it and the next time I met him he spent 30 minutes explaining just how much he hated it.

    solid argument but I have the impression once you fixed yourself on this perspective you never get out if. Like an ex of mine who is working fulltime as a cutter hates the new Dune movies with passion and I can totally see where she's coming from while she is also not very much into fiction and both movies have a pretty weak storytelling but I can just ignore that and still enjoy the new Dune movies at lot. But maybe thats a gift not everybody has nor needs to have.

    This was on my Facebook feed today. It was ringing all my AI picture alarm bells but the hands are correct, the shadows align for the most part. The diner logo photoshopped on is the only thing that stood out at first, but I'm preeetty sure the whole thing is just one ChatGPT/Dall*E process. I'm honestly so done with social media at the moment, the amount of generated content is getting extremely uncomfortable to see when you realize just how much of it is there. I'm so glad I was born before this era of phones being glued to our faces. Fuck this shit

    don't use facebook ❤️
