ok, this place has the juice

I just wrote a bunch of life advice in Ewokese and I feel insane.

Is it a sign of a functioning country that every time we hear that the SCOTUS is going to issue an opinion, we know our lives are about to get worse?

At Davos, Mark Carney called on countries to abandon the fiction of the rules-based order. Yet as @richardjoyce.bsky.social argues, all political systems require acting "as if" their premises are true. The real question is which fictions we choose to live by, and which we’re willing to remake.

"I will find you in every lifetime" but it's talking about Sydney, Australia.

remember when the police rioted for months straight in every city in this god forsaken country like 6 years ago

The curator here is either living their life's dream or frequently wondering what twists in life brought them to such a strange point. I suspect this is a common feeling in the field.

Really wish Dems had tried something other than an 80-year old insider, instead of leaving the fate of the country’s most winnable Senate pickup to a dude with never-ending tranches of oppo ranging from embarrassing to offensive. What a fucking trainwreck.

the fact is these democratic governors do not have actual control over their own state police forces, and that’s a seriously scary problem that no elected wants to talk about or deal with

The next time a director says bullshit like this, I want the interviewer to ask: "If AI was around when you made your other films, which artists would you have fired?" I mean it. Name real fucking names. Of all the brilliant people you worked with, who do you think doesn't deserve a job anymore?

BREAKING: Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes have withdrawn from the Freedom 250 Celebration

I feel like solely crediting Marcia Lucas for Star Wars and not at all for her entire body of film editing work is weirdly diminishing, even if it's intended as a compliment

An organization like FIRE is going to look at this and conclude the problem is with faculty, who are insufficiently heterodox, and not with the fact that one political party has made it their goal to dismantle my profession and everything I do. Why would we vote for those who openly hate us?

This is the world we must fight against. The heart of enshittification is indifference.

See, this is the shit I'm talking about. Nobody even looked at the output here. That's how little the quality matters to these people.

A lot of dudes leaping into the comments to prove they can and I see we’re still letting conservatives define masculinity.

#BORSKDEFENSEFORSK LET'S FUCKING GO WE HAVE NEVER BEEN SO BACK LOOKS LIKE ESPIONAGE IS BACK ON THE MENU BOIIIIIIIIIIIS

Headcanon: as part of Kleya's debrief on Yavin, she gave over a list of identities she and Luthen had worked up and distributed over the years. These were immediately worked into a search of the Imperial wanted and prison databases, and popped a hit for Lianna Halleck.

These are the two optimal types of Baseball Name.

You know where nobody got pepper sprayed?

Saw Gerrera was right (always)

The Father The Son, and The Holy Spirit

hello based department

if you look like this dm me

On a side note, the Funkmaster Flex tape of Otis belongs on the next Golden Record.

you could tell me that one of the mod biker kids was actually named LaVonte Worthy and I wouldn’t even think to doubt it

Finished Victory's Price, and the Great Unified New Republic Read-Through continues with Rogue Squadron. Two great books that can be put in conversation with each other in really fun ways.

Not my kind of game, but I'd love see a City Council of Darkness campaign taking the basic premise of the Book of Boba Fett - Boba moves into Mos Espa and wants to fix it - but actually do the work of showing that in a way that makes sense.

www.politico.com/live-updates... republicans poisoned the smithsonian women's history museum bill because they're ideologically opposed to women, history, and museums in that order

Also: Don't read up on it. Don't ingest thinkpieces. Don't go hunting for clues. Just walk into the theater like it's 1983.

Delighted to report that this movie was actually a ton of fun and somehow avoided feeling cynical or stupid as hell. It's very much a Favloni production, but it feels like they've outgrown some of their more obnoxious tendencies. They made me care about Stinky the Hutt.

never fucking forgive them for what they've done to the computer

Apparently this video underperformed, so please watch it if a socioeconomic history of a 40' tall command mech that can carry a gigantic broadsword sounds like it would be of interest to you. youtu.be/38cHV-lZCXI?...

In 1934 Hitler created a medal to give to everyone who participated in the Beer Hall Putsch, in case you want to know what's going to happen to all these people after Trump gives them a big check.

Alexander Freed gave Shadow Wing Minovsky particles and turned them loose over Jakku and it is everything moral and personal beat this series has been building up to.

Jared Polis should resign today and never return to politics.

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

For those who celebrate #gundam

One of the better things about Star Wars' canon reboot was giving people who came up on the Expanded Universe a chance to reshape the story. Freed builds on the scaffold of the X-Wing books, but goes deeper and weirder on their best ideas.

Rarely seen Hornet mating behavior.

Guy with visible stink lines: the birth rate,

It’s so fucked up they turned Carmen Sandiego into a cop. Carmen Sandiego loves three things: doing crimes, bigass hats, and stone cold a capella bangers. But no, we can’t have queens winning, so we had to make her a cop and a snitch. I won’t stand for it.

Iceman, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel and Professor X

Here's a project I've been working on. It gives you a chance to sample writing from a couple dozen writers, all for free. (With links so you can buy other work from them if you like it.) chainstorycore.com

The Internet is disappearing before our very eyes and it’s why we should all support that absolutely critical work of @archive.org

that's my fucking New Reconstruction President
