A lot of the HFY ( Humanity, F**k Yeah!) Sci-Fi stuff on Reddit and YouTube very much fits into this category.
Mostly consisting of pesky aliens getting outclassed by or receiving a good thumping from humanity. It rarely portrays humanity as being the unreasonable party.
If you exclude this and the stories of lost alien princesses which fill the galaxy and continually need rescuing there are still some worthwhile stories but you have to hunt for them.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time for dinner, Meow!

@hadon @ChrisMayLA6 It is worth noting he killed /queen Liz when he came to the UK. She died 24 hours after seeing him.

@thanetric@mastodonapp.uk Well insulated is part of the requirement for a healthy home. Managing air quality by ensuring good and controlled ventilation is the other part.
I've been going through all this the last few years as I build my new home - currently on hold because I'm working out of the country.

I had a someone come into the office from one of our suppliers this morning. Whilst she was there she saw a printing calculator in a display cabinet and really couldn't understand what it was.
I remember seeing and using them back in the 1980s. I'm really getting too old!

I am really hoping for TACO but I'm pessimistic about it.
I'm currently in Oman so closer to this mess than most.
Time to re-read the lyrics of the old song by Tom Lehrer "We Will All Go Together When We Go"

Five killed in Oman because of heavy rain causing flash flooding in wadis.
Because of the weather most schools are now closed to minimise travel in risky areas.
