Shirley Temple celebrated her eighth birthday at 20th Century Fox in 1936, when, in the middle of the Great Depression, she was the biggest box office star in America.

I'm told that the dynamics between Kirk and Bones was inspired somewhat by the relationship between Captain Aubrey and the ship's doctor, Maturin.

O strong Ram, which hast batter'd heaven for me !

I asked Grok to generate an image in the style of a Michelangelo painting that shows a giant ram head-butting the gates of heaven and breaking in. A great host of people in white robes should be rushing into heaven through the broken gates.
And this is what it generated.
Not quite what I had in mind, but still...nice imagery. Lock those gates against me? I have Jesus!
Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Donne:
O strong Ram, which hast batter'd heaven for me!
Mild lamb, which with Thy Blood hast mark'd the path!
Bright Torch, which shinest, that I the way may see!
O, with Thy own Blood quench Thy own just wrath;
Instructions to Grok:generate an image of a path in a dark wood. In the distance on the path place a white lamb. Place a trail of blood on the path from the foreground to the lamb. Light the path with torches.
Then I clicked 'edit with Grok.' Grok asked me, "Describe what you want to change in the image."
I said, "In the style of Rembrandt."
And it said...
Nope…I’m still just a plain ol’ white guy, but I’d love to be the only black dude on the FFF. I’ve never heard of one on here, but maybe I’m wrong.Sure looks like the fish and sleeve and hands in your profile pic.

a photograph from 1910 of one of the same cannons on the rim of punchbowl crater... that are shown in the painting from 1870 i posted above...... these 24 inch naval guns... 6 of them in total... were used as a defense for honolulu harbor until much bigger and modern guns were installed at fort derussy in waikiki...... this photo was taken when they were being taken off their carriages and prepared for removal....

Do volcanic craters like this usually fill in with dirt and grass? I’ve seen pictures and it always seems amazingly level and smooth for a former volcano.
