“They’re putting together a coffee table book, The Art of Andor, and they asked me to write a foreword for it… So I finally opened the book, and I was like, “Oh my God.” Every page has ideas that we talked about over the course of a million meetings, and it’s just so good.” Tony Gilroy 1/2

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

The JAR JAR one-shot comic book is a delight! Ahmed Best really did a phenomenal job bringing Jar Jar back and connecting his story to Kelleran Beq’s! Fractal Radios, the exploitation of labor by a populist leader, so many great things that make this a special read. Pick it up if you haven’t yet!

I’m still not vibing. Looks fun at least. Will need to rewatch it after work and see how I feel then.

We’re back! And a lot has happened since we’ve been away. This week’s main story concerns unrest in Minnesota, murders committed by ICE and CBP agents, and the massive entity overseeing it all: the Department of Homeland Security. Plus, some stuff about Business Shrek – sorry, “Tom Homan.”

NEW EPISODE🐰🇵🇷 Tauntauns dash through the snow and BAD BUNNY crushes the cultural zeitgeist with love. Today we discuss the Benito Bowl, from The Mandalorian And Grogu's baffling Spot, to the Halftime Show that changed everything. 🎧👉 apple.co/4rIIYqr 📺👉 bit.ly/Mando-BadBunny

there's so much misinformation and disinformation on how movies are made the account in this example has over a half a million followers on X, just out there making up stuff

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

just a PSA for all those liberals out there that loved the Bad Bunny Halftime Show (and would vote for Obama a third time): Puerto Rico should have the RIGHT of SELF-DETERMINATION, not fulfill your colonial fantasy of making us the 51st state. 🇵🇷✊

🐰🇵🇷💪

It goes without saying, but Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show was incredible! Goosebumps at so many times. The joy, love, and culture was something truly special. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

We’re not sports people, but we love music and film! Excited for a release of a trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu, but to see a Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 artist rise to global stardom and represent our island and culture on this stage during charged times is special. Hope Bad Bunny crushes it tonight!

I can't overstate what it means for Puerto Ricans to see an album so rooted in our culture, our language, in salsa, plena, bomba, and reggaeton to be album of the year. This album is unapologetically Boricua and it was the most streamed album last year and won album of the year. I'm in tears.

some additional context

The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte, the third of @kristinbaver.bsky.social’s High Republic-era art books, is nothing short of extraordinary, overflowing with incredible concepts and stories from the series’ production. Pick up your copy this Tuesday, February 3, everywhere fine books are sold!

Star Wars has been known for iconic logos. While the main logo is the best, The Empire Strikes Back is a close second. Each subsequent film abandoned this design. We’ve designed logos for ALL the films and we love it! We are excited to offer these as pins so everyone can rep their favorite SW film!

stay warm out there my friends! ❄️

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

While I’m very excited for MAUL - SHADOW LORD, I’m a little disappointed at only 10 episodes and double releases a week. Making our time with Maul so short…

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

STAR WARS OUTLAWS: LOW RED MOON by @mikechenwriter.bsky.social comes out February 3rd! We were lucky to read this early! You can read our review below, but in a nutshell: it's pretty great emotional story for both Jaylen and ND-5 and you don't have to have played OUTLAWS to enjoy this one! 🤖🤖🤖🤖/5

The New Republic's tireless work to maintain an era of peace hangs in the balance as Luke, Han, Rynn, and the Nagai fight Reyna and her deadly armada. Pre-order Star Wars #10 from me and Luke Ross and witness the final battle! @philnoto.bsky.social @muaadib.bsky.social @carmencarnero.bsky.social

Most of my socials are focused on constructive political action or my dog, but a bunch of press on Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon is dropping soon; apologies in advance. Related, the Feb 3 SF event has been upgraded to co-celebrate The Art of the Acolyte release! www.eventbrite.com/e/star-wars-...
