George Lucas : "We'll get there because we won't survive if we don't. But as we evolve into this, we're getting a lot of greedy people and isolationists and nativists and xenophobes who say, 'I don't want to be with those people.' That stuff has to fall away." (SW Archives 1999-2005)

I think about this all the time.

Happy 10th Anniversary today to The Nice Guys. I wish we lived in the reality where it was a well-deserved hit and we got a bunch of sequels with this cast but I’m still very glad we got the one at least!

Today we’re remembering the final time Tom Kane provided his iconic ‘The Clone Wars’ narration in ‘The Bad Batch’ premiere episode “Aftermath”. 🖤

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

Gonna watch this daily. That kind of truth sustains and inspires.

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Support grassroots organizers on the ground in these states. They are going to need your help with statewide races and close district races too. Dig in and say you believe that people in these states deserve better.

Let this radicalize you

The internet should be a place you visit, not a place you live.

Bring back shame. Shamelessness has gone too far.

Yerssssss!

Thank you, @esqueer.net for putting this into words.

1/11 If you’ve been "tuned in" since 2015, your nervous system hasn't had a true day off in nearly 11 years. From the first escalator ride to the current headlines, you’ve been living in a state of sustained hyper-vigilance. Let’s talk about why you feel so "done." 🧵

Someone’s leaked the new Santo Domingo training kit range👀 Like the pockets, they should have kept zip🤐

Social media is one thing, but if you really want to stay in touch, I have a free monthly newsletter, so you don’t have to go scrolling to find out when my next book’s coming out. I also talk about what I’m working on. You can sign-up and browse back issues here: gareths-newsletter.ghost.io

Bollocks. One, hardcovers are selling great, especially the ones that these days come with sprayed edges and illustrated end pages. Two, ditching hardcovers would absolutely gut author and bookseller incomes. You want to fuck up publishing? Kill the hardcover. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

The entire right wing ecosystem, from politics to media to business, is just for-profit contrarianism. The formula is: they name a real shortcoming of the imperfect status quo and once they got you they sell you horseshit that's much, much worse

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? https://newrepublic.com/post/210013/fbi-investigation-atlantic-reporter-kash-patel-drinking

This is my favorite shot from Artemis II so far—Absolutely Stunning!

I've spent a lifetime teaching young people — and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. These are the most important lessons I've learned along the way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpjs...

If I could recommend one thing on Star Wars day, it would be to check out the original Star Wars Radio Dramas. More than just a retelling of the movies, but with added dialogue, scenes and nuances that help bring further life to the lore.

on set. what about YOU?

I support this message!

May the 4th be with you… 💙 Oh and #UTFT

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

Open message to the UK. Start treating Nigel Farage as the fascistic fifth-columnist for Russia that he is. He shouldn't be in parliament, he belongs in the tower. He's deserving of the same treatment as William Joyce and the sooner you understand that the better off the UK will be.

If you're into groovy design that isn't in the least bit kitsch, do have a look at Gail's work. It's completely original and supporting artists is never a bad idea.

Political corruption is even worse than you think. To build a functioning one-person-one-vote system where oligarchs don’t pull the strings, we need to make anti-corruption the central focus of our politics. @davidsirota.com explains why.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

Hell. Yes.

The Last Starfighters are dead, long live to The Last Starfighter! The 1984 movie will have an official sequel on July 1st, in the form of a comic book miniseries from @madcavestudios.com Written by @benjaminraab.bsky.social & @dblackanese.bsky.social and drawn by @willirobertsart.bsky.social
