Man, these right wing nut bags are eating up these 15 month old Fauci emails.

 

that woman who stormed the Capital got to meet Ronald Reagan

 

Opinion | I’m a Physicist Who Searches for Aliens. U.F.O.s Don’t Impress Me.

There are also common-sense objections. If we are being frequently visited by aliens, why don’t they just land on the White House lawn and announce themselves? There is a recurring narrative, perhaps best exemplified by the TV show The X-Files, that these creatures have some mysterious reason to remain hidden from us. But if the mission of these aliens calls for stealth, they seem surprisingly incompetent. You would think that creatures technologically capable of traversing the mind-boggling distances between the stars would also know how to turn off their high beams at night and to elude our primitive infrared cameras.

 

Remember when Jeff Goldblum hacked a UFO with a floppy disk

 

Gave that asshole a cold.

 

Edit: I love that one of the biggest studio blockbusters of the 90s qualified to air on the Independent Film Channel

 

Welcome to Erff

 

ID4 was such a big deal to me when it came out; I had the movie poster, I had a toy of the alien, I probably saw it like 3 times in the theaters, got the VHS for Christmas, etc. Still the perfect summer blockbuster film

 

This joke is definitely just from racism, right? Watching the clip, he definitely pronounces it “earth”

 

Did your VHS have the weird “3D” cover thing. My did. Watched it so many times. Only MI:1 probably got more plays.

 

What’s way funnier is that this huge terrifying alien - which I’m pretty sure one of them single-handedly kills a whole team of scientists at some point? - gets immediately KO’d from Smith punching it one time

 

Absolutely remember that, haha; I remember having that cover/card thing for a long time too

 

Wow the internet definitely had me thinking it was "erf" because I've seen it meme'd a few times like that haha

 

Independence Day is canon. Bill Pullman is the best president we ever had.
