Prompt

Contact between UAPs and humans has been established. A major announcement will be made throughout all media (television, radio, internet) worldwide at the same time. Martial law has been declared.

Response

An effort to find the common denominator between all humans to avoid chaos.

The world is watching, waiting with great anticipation for the announcement, knowing that it will change the lives of every person on the planet. When the announcement finally came, it was not what they expected.

It was not war, terrorism or even a natural disaster, but contact with extra-terrestrials. Aliens are here and are making contact. Hallelujah!

The major announcement is that the UAPs have contacted humans and will be unveiling themselves in a gradual manner. Martial law has been declared in preparation for the UAP's integration into society.

The announcement is made that UAPs have contacted humans. Martial law has been declared. The announcement is sounded on the radio, on the TV, on smartphones, on computers worldwide.

Some are relieved because of their inner beliefs of there being extraterrestrial life. Others are running for cover to take shelter from an alien invasion or worse-- an apocalypse of some sort.

A country-wide curfew is declared by the president. Weird things start happening in the world-- screens black out, cars shutting down, planes falling out of the sky without warning screens going black at any time during the day or night.

The internet becomes unreliable, loading takes exponentially longer and people's anxiety grows as they await what fate is to befall them next. Meanwhile, people are still getting their news from major media outlets online until it all becomes static before finally ceasing altogether.

An alien species comes to Earth. The aliens contact the human species and the contact is a neutral meeting. All of a sudden, an alien bot gets a new message which states that an announcement of sorts would be made.

That night, all of the world's media broadcast an announcement of a major event. Martial law was also imposed for this announcement to occur, which means that there's something big going on with this meeting of new species.

The day begins like any other day. I wake up, go to work, chat with my family, see my friends. But then the TV is on in the break room, and it’s talking about something big - aliens coming to Earth and having a meeting with humans. The reporter says that no one knows the details of this meeting or why it’s happening, but we’ll know soon. They interview a couple people on the street about their beliefs and reactions to this news; we see people grasping at straws trying to make sense of something they don’t understand.

At lunch I hear about how panic has gripped several countries as populations seize up with worry and people scramble for answers. And then the evening comes and we hear that whatever this big announcement is will be today at noon GMT; it will be televised internationally and streamed online for free.

I don’t know what will happen next or what I should expect when I

Tyson vs. Holmes

 



Despite displaying worrying frailties during his pre-fight neurological exam, Ali was allowed to fight and was duly dominated for ten rounds by Holmes before trainer Angelo Dundee called a halt to proceedings.

Fergie Pacheco, who was Ali’s former doctor, called the fight ‘an abomination’ and demanded all the people involved in be arrested because of Ali’s clearly deteriorated state.

A record two billion people watched the one-sided mauling across the globe, including Tyson and D’Amato on their small closed circuit set in Albany.

The teenager was raging, his desire to seek instant retribution brewed and Tyson, in an interview with ESPN, vividly recalled how he began to hatch a plot with his mentor from that very second.

“Cus had wanted me to beat him so bad. I was offended by how bad he beat up Ali.

“When we drove home to Catskill [about an hour from Albany], nobody in the car said a word, we were all so upset. The next morning, Cus was on the phone with Muhammad Ali after taking this shellacking from Holmes.

“He said to Ali, ‘I have this young black kid who is going to be heavyweight champion someday and I want you to talk to him.’”

Even though Tyson had the chance to talk to his hero, one of the greatest sports stars in history, he still had just one thing on his mind – vengeance.

“When I grow up, I’ll fight Holmes and I’ll get him back for you.”

Luke 21:25-28

 

“And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

#memecollector

   The meme collector currently works for a heretofore unnamed Wall Street bank. He has a skill that makes him valuable to the bank: the ability to find the memes that would reach massive exposure to the point of over-saturation. He helps his employer expand its media portfolio and to extend its presence into digital culture.

  On any given day, the meme collector purchases NFTs and distributes copies of these on his Twitter feed, where the NFT gets picked up and meme-ified (or not). The NFT-meme absorbs value as more people see or remix the NFT-meme and make it their own. The usual financial shenanigans can happen at this point, but usually the bank sells all or parts of the NFT and picks up a profit.
