> A reference to the movie ‘They Live’.

Here is the scene from the movie. Nearly 40 years ago!

_ **They Live** _ (1988) stars (deceased) pro wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper (he was 34 years old when this film came out). The film follows a guy who discovers through special sunglasses

(shown in the clip above)

that the ruling class are aliens concealing their appearance and manipulating people to consume, breed, and conform via subliminal messages in mass media.

I think the social commentary in the clip will resonate with a lot of iNatters.

Plus, using iNat, and developing ecological literacy, is like putting on these magic sunglasses when you look at nature.
