“If and when we finally encounter aliens, they probably won’t look like little green men, or spiny insectoids. It’s likely they won’t be biological creatures at all, but rather, advanced robots that outstrip our intelligence in every conceivable way.”
This “silly season” article says not many folks conceive of our first encounter being with superior artificial intelligence, but I remember The Day the Earth Stood Still had police robots in charge. Gort wasn’t quick, but he was in charge. (The original, not the remake I’d never watch.) In any case, “robots are taking over” seems to be a recurring theme lately. Schedule your time to worry about it accordingly; I know I have: later.

“Fountain Green, in Sanpete County, held its first Christmas light parade. It was in honor of 6-year-old Addie Fausett, who is terminally ill. Doctors have told her parents this will likely be her last Christmas.”

“The Crow government wants the world to know the name of its God and has erected a sign along Interstate 90 to declare it. The message, ‘Jesus Christ is Lord on the Crow Nation,’ is proclaimed on a new, 33-foot illuminated sign in Crow Agency, which shares the image of the tribal seal. It was funded by the tribe.”
