KevAliens arrive: we have killed your leaders and taken control of your planet.
Us: oh thank god
Aliens: you are now citizens of ... Wait what
Sherra@alisca 😂 😂 Bring it on, aliens!

Doug Warren@alisca "You will all be given jobs and uniformly provided with only the bare minimum to maintain you in good mental and physical health. Furthermore, education to teach you useful skills and true facts about the universe will be compulsory."
[cheering]
"I don't think this translator is working right, these are all bad things."
@DougWar40k "we will force you to work until 50 years old"
Is this even ON
Mike P@alisca @DougWar40k "None of you will be permitted to occupy privileged positions. All of your voices will be treated equally when determining policy."

Cyber Yuki@alisca @DougWar40k "We will destroy your primitive transport infrastructure and replace it with mass transit; we will also strip you of your fossil fuels and confiscate all your golf courses to build our energy plants instead."
All hail the aliens!!!

... build energy plants off of your roofs, lawns and streets ...
... to build mobile parks
GiacomoSansoni@yuki2501 @alisca @DougWar40k That reminds me of when Japan and Italy adopted anti-war constitutions because they had been defeated in WW2
Maggie Maybe@yuki2501 @alisca @DougWar40k I was all for only mass transit until covid. Now it seems kind of ablest doesn’t it? If I had to take a bus to go to the doctor I wouldn’t be going to the doctor. It’s bad enough I’m forced to be exposed there.
Sirana@maggiemaybe @yuki2501 @alisca @DougWar40k Ideally there should be affordable options for all needs. :) There are still plenty of abled people for whom it would be less risky to drive a bus or a train instead of their huge 4 seater SUV they only use solo every day though.
@maggiemaybe @yuki2501 @alisca @DougWar40k For that issue there are usually parking spots reserved for people with disabilities. In this sense, there's a big difference between a necessity (the mobility of everyone, especially that of people with disabilities) and a vice (worsening one's health due to pollution and lack of exercise). If we choose the former, there can be abundance for all of us. With the latter, even air is too scarce
EsterDaniel Ytterbrink@maggiemaybe @yuki2501 @alisca @DougWar40k My disability (visual impairment) stop me from driving. It also makes public transport harder. If I can manage without a car, able bodied people in the city could also (with proper public transport) At least they can bike!
Daniela@maggiemaybe @yuki2501 @alisca @DougWar40k That is more an argument for changes in public transport. We should implement high quality ventilation and air filters, not only to keep you safe, also because even without disabilities Viruses make you sick. But cars make all of us sick too so those should go away.

"In all honesty, we did not expect you to be so thrilled about being taken over by aliens..."
*cheering stops*
"...from the planet Breqdulon."
*cheering continues louder, hats are thrown in the air*
@prettyhuman I don't get this but I want to
@alisca
Does it help if I remind that people from neighbour countries are sometimes referred to as aliens as well?

शिवदम् Ⓥ@Bobblegagger I used to say this, before there were cartoons about it. So true!

@alisca
Ben from CDS@DelilahTech @Bobblegagger @alisca The alien version of Duelling Banjos is actually just Swamp Thing by The Grid.
The Grid - Swamp Thing (Official Music Video)
mathew@glenatron @DelilahTech @Bobblegagger @alisca I’d just like to throw in that The Grid are working on a new album, and in the mean time Richard Norris has some rather nice ambient music on Bandcamp aimed at putting people in a healing state of mind in spite of current circumstances.
Richard Norris
"The electronic musician's electronic musician" (Electronic Sound magazine) Richard Norris has a long history creating electronic music, particularly as one half of the Grid and Beyond The Wizards Sleeve. His current work is a series of warm, electronic deep listening albums, on UK based label Group Mind Records. More - daily.bandcamp.com/features/richard-norris-music-for-healing-interview

jack@dibi58 @celset2 @alisca The (obvious) solution to the #fermiparadox: They saw us. Long ago. And those others, yes they found us, too. And the ones from over there... and those others...
But now that they've seen us, they are hiding, they're ghosting us.

Bluedepth@alisca Enjoy it, you can’t do any worse than we have done. Knock yourselves out. :)
ouinne@alisca well I would like to request video of the killings though
Dickon Hood@alisca I read this out loud to my other half. Got near the end of the first line. 'Oh, thank god', she said.
Madame Müde@alisca took me a while to get the joke because "oh thank god" is the only reasonable answer in 2023... 🙄
Prof West Wing Chicken Shack@alisca But we have no leaders
RealGene ☣️
Slashline@alisca Stealing this
Xymon@alisca finally someone new to blame
Who by avalanche who by powder@alisca I, for one, welcome, etc.
Kris@alisca I can easily identify with this.
juanejot@alisca “Since you’re higher beings, with technology indistinguishable from magic, do you mind if we, um… [looks around bashfully, stage-whispers] WORSHIP you?”
“What? Sure, I—“ [Extends sensory stalk toward nearest alien for advice.]
“Great! I’ll just take a bit of…”
“OW!”
“Oh, so that section of your carapace hasn’t calloused yet? Noted…”
They withdraw to their landing craft.
“Tasty. Kinda like lobster. Hey, look at that pretty pattern all across the sky! Why is it so bright it hurts?”
Fin.
Mia Knox🏳️🌈❄️👑@alisca could you eventually take care of something else, there are some toxic elements that wouldn't welcome you, here is a list of companies and there owners that have enough power to resist your reign.

Phil Landmeier@alisca Exactly. Hahaha.

Alex von Kitchen@alisca oh, so some different colonial state is claiming me now? Doesn't seem like much of a change
Elizabeth M, stationer@alisca @captainfez didn't we just read this? 😅
JPS_Lindberg@alisca Not like aliens could do a worse job at it aye...
It's that or the singularity that's the dream.
Anka Adamczyk@alisca Childhood's End? Yes, please!
pedro 🍉@alisca "We're emptying the treasuries of your largest so-called companies"
"Sure, enjoy your loot!"
"Sure, enjoy your loot!"
@alisca I’m reminded of when EU haters in the UK would say that staying in the EU would mean being ruled by Germany. My response was always: why would I care who runs the country as long as they do a good job?

mirabilos@alisca they’re probably the billionaire arseholes of their respective planets though :/
