I'm more interested in the metaphysical implications of generating a thousands of new Jesuses. Are they all new prophets? If we crucify them can we automate mass forgiveness? Much to consider.

A few bowhead whales born around 1815 might still be alive. They were in their 30s when they first saw a commercial whaling ship; in their 60s when they first heard a propellor; over 100 the first time they heard sonar. I wonder if they remember the silent ocean.

The "Karetai Carcass" was entangled in the lines of the vessel where it had been fed upon by cookiecutter sharks. The original film was recovered from the first mate of the Karetai after the publication of the image in 2019. Analysis of the image has been inconclusive thus far.

I just don't see how you can have Twin Peaks the return anywhere outside of the top 10. It is one of the defining art pieces of the 2010's and exists in full conversation with the medium of nostalgic revival TV and prestige drama which defined the era.
