    I put together this video for #AnotherPlanet by #TheCreatures (#SiouxsieSioux & #Budgie) years ago. It's a bit disjointed and doesn't synch up with the music, but I sortakinda like it that way. Maybe some day I'll fix it up, but for now...

    "I'm here
    On another planet
    How's it with you
    On your planet
    All was surreal
    On this planet
    It felt so regal - it was so romantic
    Now it's all changed
    And the plot's unfolding
    Another fairy tale
    With a twisted end

    They're coming out the walls
    They're seeping in
    There's armies of them crawling
    They're coming in

    Satellite above
    Looks down unblinking
    Satellite of thought
    Unthinking

    They're coming out the walls
    They're seeping in
    Three odd eyed tentacles
    Speak in forked tongues
    Sprouting all over me
    And blossoming
    I'm breaking out the walls
    I'm coming in

    I'm here
    On another planet
    How's it with you
    On your planet

    Satellite above
    Looks down unblinking
    Satellite of thought
    Unthinking"

    A recent discussion here on Mastodon involved what kind of shape life might take if there were a "re-boot". I think this is one of the forms that will keep happening as long as there's life. Also, perhaps this is what could evolve on another planet.

    Animals Keep Evolving Into #Crabs, and Scientists Don't Know Why

    "It's true: Crabs keep turning up in nature, and it's bothering scientists so much that they've been given federal grants to get to the bottom of it.

    "The phenomenon is so widely known that it's been given a name — #carcinization, a term that's been in use for over 140 years. Through this process, crabs, the beach critters we all know and love, have evolved at least five times from separate groups of crustaceans, Newsweek has been told.

    "Not all the species to have undergone carcinization have become crabs in the technical sense. Some have merely become crab-like, adopting their shape and form. Carcinized species can be divided into two main groups: Brachyura, which are true crabs, and Anomura, or false crabs."
