The 1980s are coming back to haunt Congress. In 1983, Congress changed Social Security to keep it solvent. But since then, growth in worker earnings – especially among high earners – has outpaced the taxable maximum, making Social Security’s tax base smaller than expected.

Everything I love about The Force Awakens: youtu.be/YAEOUExd_2Y?...

THANK YOU @swankmotron.com!!

I already pre-ordered mine!!

Okay, here's a last-minute Christmas gift idea. 🎄🎁 It's as easy as printing out a sheet of paper. #StarWars fans will LOVE this book *when it comes out in April. Here's a chance to give it a little early AND call back to an odd bit of galactic holiday history: The Star Wars Early Bird Certificate

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE. www.npr.org/2025/12/20/n...

At every turn, PLURIBUS makes the most interesting narrative and philosophical choices.

Thanks to you all, we've raised over $10,000 for World Central Kitchen. Let's keep going. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpVY...

Starfighter and New Jedi Order movie updates - Check out Last Week in Star Wars: youtu.be/a7stGbFt6RU?...

The boys are snuggling for the first time ever. It's a Christmas Miracle.

Hey. I directed @rianjohnson.bsky.social’s WAKE UP DEAD MAN Notes of a Scene for @vanityfair.com and which I basically co-opted so I could talk to Rian about writing murder mysteries. (Filmed at the Toronto International Film Fesrival 9/7/25) youtu.be/98ArZ8w5K9s?...

Looks like Jim Shooter stole @adamlancegarcia.bsky.social's bit.

To be clear, today’s release is not the [REDACTED] project I’ve been working on.

Many thanks to @adamlancegarcia.bsky.social for the generous Atha Prime gift! (Er, I mean Imperial Sentinel.)

I wrapped up the last of my Christmas shopping and treated myself to the latest issue of Star Wars Insider from the checkout rack. A great article by @chriskempshall.bsky.social and a wonderful story by @kristinbaver.bsky.social. A delightful and relaxing way to end the day — well worth picking up!

Happy 10th anniversary to the movie that changed the course of my life. On December 18, 2015 Star Wars: The Force Awakens arrived and reignited my love for #StarWars. Ten years, several books, countless articles, and two short stories later, I can’t imagine my world without it.

The Force Awakens is ten years old! So let's look back at the movie and talk about how it holds up, as well as how it has impacted the last decade of the Star Wars franchise: youtu.be/giKxFBuwGUo

Manifesting: Jake and I are gonna make a Star War together one day.

This film literally changed my life.

Trump is just a heartless, evil man.

This film literally changed my life.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Rob Reiner was an acclaimed actor & director but he was also a vocal critic of Trump He warned the American public that they only had a year to save their democracy That year is almost up Honour his legacy by fighting fascism. Fight for democracy. Fight for what’s right. Fight against tyranny.

Oh no

Walking into 2026

I am sure someone else has already come to this realization, but Gandalf is basically a neighborhood cat. He has different names for everyone who knows him, disappears for worrisomely long periods, shows up whenever he wants, and no one knows where he comes from, but everyone loves him.

First snow of the year

Anyone catch the first real direct connection (besides Blanc) between KNIVES OUT and WAKE UP DEAD MAN?

I would very much like Criterion Editions of all the Benoit Blanc films, please and thank you.

Please enjoy this close-up of Lou, one of the outdoor kitties we been caring for.
