We need to go back to worse looking shows with consistent yearly releases. 4 years between seasons is insanity. Alternatively the owners of production could actually plan for the longer turnaround time and not wait to see Nielsen numbers before renewing a tv show.

The internet being around this long and so many people having zero etiquette around spoilers is crazy. If you’re old enough to give your spoiler filled comprehensive thoughts on something you’re old enough to put a spoiler warning.

🏆Congratulations to Nathan Steuer, winner of Pro Tour Secrets of Strixhaven!🏆 This is the 3rd win for Steuer, who already had a World Championship and Pro Tour title. After a rollercoaster start to his season, his win in Vegas leaves no doubt that he's back on top of his game!

Antisemitism is poisonous and evil. However it is no coincidence that antisemitic attacks are on the rise while Israel is doing a genocide, and while the media and politicians conflate Zionism and Judaism. Jews are less safe around the world BECAUSE of Israel.

Part of the reason I’m so staunch against bad faith criticism is that I’ve seen the real world impact it can have on the truth itself. For example, consider that almost any discussion regarding George Lucas as an artist fundamentally starts from position of incredible ignorance and dishonesty.

Just watched 4 episodes of the Darth Maul animated show and really liked it. Recommend.

I’m forever thankful to George Lucas for teaching me how to engage with visual storytelling telling and not just its literary components.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

Maul Shadowlord is truly special man. everyone involved top down, bottom up, should be so proud.

My ADHD really out here just skipping words my brain thinks and fingers don’t type. Very fun.

The evolution of mauls character is fascinating. Without spoiling anything specific, he makes the most succinct and compelling case to join the dark side since Palpatines manipulation of Anakin. He is of course wrong, but he has material conditions he can point to.

I really want to like the elf unification plot in Midnight. But it just all feels so unearned. I thought this would take the entire expansion, not be resolved in the first patch in like an hour of questing. There’s some justification to them coming together quickly for the moment. But beyond that..

JB Pritzker in Illinois is advocating for a Republican scam, in the name of "protecting the children". I'm glad to see that not all Democratic electeds are falling for this nonsense.

I regret to inform everyone that Project Hail Mary is exactly as wonderful as everyone says it is.

This is why after "punish the villains" we are doing "toddler new deal." National policies like treat people the way you want to be treated, clean up after yourself, share your toys

Anakin Skywalker is a case study in how systems and environments can fail people. He is also a case study that we still have the choice to do the right thing in spite of our circumstances. Analysis of how evil becomes is not justification for evil. Life isn’t binary like the Tattooine sunsets.

It would behoove people on the left to stop falling for smears of other people on the left.

Give me shitty photoshop art all day over AI images

Really focusing on the important issues. This is legitimately embarrassing.

World of Warcraft desperately needs more top down guidelines. Max level campaign is such a weird letdown compared to the level up campaign.

part of what makes dominaria so rich is that it's wildly disparate, a true "world" that can't be reduced to five bullet points on a whiteboard.

3/25 #scryfallrandom is one of my all time favorite auras, which turns any creature into 'dude brings a friend', my favorite card archetype.

I love montage. Film and TV should have more of it. It’s one of the purest expressions of story in a visual medium.

Why does Disney insist all their live action movies have grey color-grading. Why do these films all look so washed out.

“A lot of people agree with me” is not an argument for media criticism. One of the favorites of people online to deploy when they don’t have anything substantive to say.

I was proud to stand with @sanders.senate.gov & endorse candidates who stood against war, against big money, and for justice. I lost twice before I won, including an anti-Iraq war campaign, and Bernie lost 4 times before he won. In the long run, principles matter.

Any statement about a population of people being extreme should have a qualifier on why that is. People aren’t typically born monstrous.

Need Disney marketing to understand that practical effects are not a virtue. It’s just one of many tools to convey a story.

they need to invent a new kind of sneeze that doesn't scare the cat off your lap.

Lotta talk about how modern films don’t trust their audiences. But this feels like a self inflicted wound as evidenced by people not being able to make surface level observations about the Star Wars prequels.

There should be a new rule in art critique that you’re not allowed to say something is bad without providing a direct example and then explaining your position.

no healthcare, only bombs

The struggle of wanting to play midnight today but not wanting to shell out an extra 40 dollars for 3 days early access 😭

Required ID to vote wouldn’t be an issue if every adult was registered to vote automatically and provided an Id. As is all the SAVE act is good for is voter suppression.

King

Even if you don’t think AI “art” is theft(it is), even if you think it looks good sometimes, why on earth would you want automate away the best part about being human?

We’ve moved on too quickly from how awful the superbowl ads were. Just AI and surveillance state shit.

Reminder that online sentiment toward anything isn’t a good way to get a read on consensus of any kind. Social media encourages specific kinds of interactions

Nihilistic billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy art of any kind.

It's Elmo's birthday

I wanna see more male friendships in media portrayed like Lord of the Rings. Men cry in the films so much(can’t speak to the books sadly) and I love it. We need more of it.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

All the worst people are even worse than we all thought they were.

Silksong should have been at least 40 dollars

I don't even know how to feel about this, because I do think the TV version is an ultimately flawed project, but this'll be the FOURTH take on this particular story. Manga, movie, original TV edit, and now this. That being said... if they do it right? This could be *the* ideal cut of the story.

If this is what the whole of Super Final Mix is going to look like in comparison to the original we're actually in for some good shit lol

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Maul shadowlord looks incredible. George really made the right call with marionette character designs. Seeing where it is now, nothing else looks like animated star wars
