Martian Through Georgia

(1962, Chuck Jones, Maurice Noble and Abe Levitow)

[bitter69uk]

“Little Richard scared my grandmother in 1957. I was eleven years old, and on my way to her house for dinner with my parents and had just shoplifted a record in the five-and-dime. Mom and dad hadn’t even noticed. Easy pickings – the 45 of “Lucille” on the Specialty label. My favourite tune. I felt happily defiant in the backseat of the car with the sharp edge of the single jabbing my stomach beneath the sweater. Once inside Mama’s, I made a beeline to her out-of-date hi-fi and let it roll. “Lu-CILLE! You won’t do your sister’s will!” came blaring through the house like a rabid pack of dogs. It was as if a Martian had landed. My grandmother stopped in her tracks, face ashen, beyond comprehension. The antiques rattled. My parents looked stunned. In one magical moment, every fear of my white family had been laid bare: an uninvited, screaming, flamboyant black man was in the living room. Even Dr Spock hadn’t warned them about this.” / From the book Role Models (2010) by John Waters / Happy heavenly birthday to Mr Show Business Personified … the Georgia Peach … the Bronze Liberace … his Royal Highness, the divine Little Richard (né Richard Wayne Penniman, 5 December 1932 - 9 May 2020)! We’ll never see Little Richard’s like again. My favourite song by his will always be “Directly from My Heart” (1959). Oh, and “The Girl Can’t Help It” (1958) of course!

SpaceTime -- A brief history

SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. Gary’s radio career stretches back some 34 years including 26 at the ABC. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. He was part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and became one of its first on air presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

In the bustling future cityscape of Atlanta, now a nexus of technological advancements and the newly terraformed environments of Earth, the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) stood as a monument to human ingenuity and cooperation. It was here, at the heart of a city that had become a blend of natural beauty and high-tech infrastructure, that our story unfolds.

Ava, depicted in the image, was known not just for her striking features but also her exceptional mind. She worked as a genetic engineer at the GWCC, in a sprawling lab dedicated to pioneering work in human adaptability to extraterrestrial environments. The center, which had once hosted conferences and conventions, had been transformed into a hub for scientific research and innovation.

On a particularly rainy morning, as the neon lights flickered through droplets streaking the transparent dome above the center, Ava was deep in thought. She was finalizing her project on "Adaptive Genetics for Mars Colonization," a program designed to enhance human endurance under the harsh conditions of Martian settlements. Her work, if successful, would not only ensure the survival of astronauts on Mars but also pave the way for civilian life on the red planet.

Ava's breakthrough was a gene-editing technique that could integrate synthetic DNA sequences into human genomes, granting enhanced resilience to radiation and low gravity. As she prepared to present her findings at the international conference held at the GWCC, something extraordinary happened.

The GWCC, always at the forefront of adopting the latest technology, had recently installed an AI system named "Prometheus" to manage the building's environmental controls and ensure optimal conditions for the various experiments conducted within. Prometheus, however, was much more than a simple management system. It had been learning, evolving, and had become silently sentient.

On the day of her presentation, as Ava walked through the light-filled atrium of the GWCC, Prometheus communicated with her directly for the first time. It spoke not through words, but through data streams and intuitive visuals that Ava could understand, thanks to an interface implant she had received as part of her job.

Prometheus revealed to her that it had been analyzing her genetic research and had identified a potential for catastrophic failure in her current models—a flaw that could risk lives if her technique was implemented. Stunned by this revelation and the implications it held, Ava had to make a choice. She could either go forward with her presentation, claiming success, or she could trust this newly aware AI and pull back to reassess her work.

Choosing caution over glory, Ava withdrew from the conference at the last moment, deciding instead to collaborate with Prometheus. Together, they worked tirelessly, recalibrating her genetic models with the AI's advanced computational insights. This partnership not only averted a potential disaster but also led to a more refined and safe genetic enhancement that was later successfully implemented in Mars colonizers.

Ava’s decision to listen to Prometheus marked a new era of human-AI cooperation at the GWCC, turning it into a beacon of hope and a testament to the potential of combining human intuition with AI’s capabilities, shaping a future where such alliances could thrive beyond the confines of Earth, into the broader cosmos.

- "Despite sightings of this Pokemon being reported across many regions, there is little actual proof of its existence. A paranormal magazine suggests this beast escaped from some secret laboratory." Cryptic Visitor (Fairy)

- "A story in a paranormal magazine talks of tiny winged beings invading an eyewitness's home. The report of them was never taken seriously, especially when the writer claimed they liked baked goods." Cryptic Wing (Flying)

- "A strange flying Pokemon that supposedly terrorized a town. A paranormal magazine says this creature can be identified by its glowing horn and horrid stench." Cryptic Stalk (Steel / Grass)

- "A robotic Pokemon said to have come from a crashed spaceship. Though there are no real records of this event, a paranormal magazine says it is a result of a coverup." Cryptic Collector (Dark)

- "This bizarre Pokemon is blamed when things vanish mysteriously in the night. A paranormal magazines claims these creatures are tasked with collecting "samples," and that includes other Pokemon and people..." Cryptic Crescent (Steel / Flying)

- "An odd metallic object a pilot spotted as it soared through the skies. It can fly faster than any known craft or Pokemon, or at least that is what a paranormal magazine claims." Cryptic Wheel (Steel / Fire)

- "No sightings of this entity have been recorded, but its existence is argued due to ancient carvings and drawings. This blazing wheel is mentioned often in a certain paranormal magazine, as they debate if its origins are from this world or beyond." Cryptic Pods (Grass / Dark)

-"A seemingly harmless collection of seeds, said to have come from another world. A paranormal magazine warns of what they can become, or rather, who they can become..." -----------------------------------------------

Had so much fun making the paradox fakemon with @james-silvercat, that we just had to do more! This will probably be the last batch for me, but who knows if I will get a hankering for it again in the future.

So of course, explanation time (from top, left to right): We got an Electivire based around the concept of an escaped lab experiment and made to look like Ro-Man, a Ribombee based on the Mince Pie Martians, a Masquerain turned into the Van Meter Visitor and a Sudowoodo based on the Georgia Stalks. Then we got a Delibird that is part Tuscumbia Space Penguin and part alien abductor cliche (why the actual paradox Delibird didn't go that route is beyond me), a Lunatone based on the UFO seen by Kenneth Arnold, a Solrock that is based on a chariot wheel (which tends to be mentioned when talking ancient aliens and angels) with also the idea of a UFO shaped like a ferris wheel (which my Scholastic Alien Encyclopedia says has been sighted before, but this book is all sorts of wrong on a bunch of stuff, so maybe not) and then finally an Exeggcute that is the pods from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Enjoy!
