The simple act of holding a camera in my homeland of Western Sahara can be a crime. When Sahrawi film-makers and journalists attempt to document everyday life under Moroccan occupation, they can often end up in prison cells. For the Moroccan regime, a camera in the hands of a Sahrawi threatens its official narrative that Western Sahara is part of Morocco. In contrast, when celebrated international names in the film industry wish to capture an ideal picture for an epic journey, and decide that our land is exotic enough to shoot the desired scenes, they are welcomed, escorted and granted access by the same authorities that usually deny us that right. [...] Nolan’s choice to film in an occupied territory highlights the extractivist practices embedded in the western film industry. Western cinema has often been complicit in mining stories and immaterial culture from the global south at a scale no smaller than the material resources mined by the western colonial industrial complex. International film crews parachute in, shoot our faces, clothing, dunes and material culture, then fly off. For them, it seems we are simply decorative elements for their sets and back in New York, London or Paris, they gain prestige, box-office returns and awards. For Nolan’s Dakhla shoot, he appears to have neither sought our consent nor considered the ethics of in effect helping to prop up and legitimise Morocco’s occupation, thus making the space even more unsafe for Sahrawis living under it. He is actively participating in a state-sponsored PR campaign designed to legitimise an illegal occupation.

You’ve heard of woolly mammoths, but what about woolly tapirs? 🤔Also known as the mountain tapir (Tapirus pinchaque), this species can be found in the cloud forests of South America’s Andes Mountains. Adults can weigh up to 400 lbs (182 kg), and their thick fur coats help insulate them from the cold temperatures of their habitat. Unfortunately, this endangered species is threatened by human activity including hunting and deforestation. 

guy gets conked on the noggin and shot into space against his will

no human companions just the ship voice and a robotic element

the friend he does have is a little puppet guy

inventions.......

anyway, here's how the crossover would work-

Mike and the bots go temporarily AWOL so Pearl gets Brain Guy to acquire a new test subject and he teleports Grace and Rocky from their dimension

Grace is like are you telling me i've been sent into space on the orders of a single woman AGAIN?

then grace rocky watch movie! movie bad bad bad.

Grace's riffs are usually referential to pop culture, Rocky gets to make absurd commentary and at one point turns around in his seat and starts hitting his carapace against a wall.

Grace is fascinated AND furious about Bobo's entire existence.

Grace is like Rocky this educational short film is not just outdated it's really not something you should be learning from. Rocky is confused but enjoys learning about Earth Culture™️

Grace is enjoying the non-world ending stakes of things after a while and has fun making little hats and accessories for Rocky to wear during the skits, even Armando gets to join in on those

when Mike and the bots return I think GPC would either try to flirt with Armando or get extremely offended she's being replaced and try to fight it (Armando does not understand what is happening)

Grace is so rusty on talking to other humans that after they get teleported back home Mike is like

and when it cuts back to pearl she catches brain guy on the phone ordering a range of xenonite products infomercial style and bobo keeps chiming in telling him to ask for the matching cutlery set and right as the eridian on the phone starts to yell at them in screeching chimes that translate to how disgust disgust disgust they are pearl is like DO YOU KNOW THE PHONE BILL I AM GOING TO GET FOR A DIRECT CALL TO ERID? order the massage chair THEN HANG UP!

Love your work, love how much you (like me) appreciate ancient life on Earth, been following Tigers for years, and I look forward to your next project.

Have a nice weekend, whether you're interested in the above experiment or not! *waves companionably*
