me when i'm incapable of differentiating between the gothic romance girlies who enjoyed crimson peak and the white supremacists who believe that intermarrying will keep their bloodlines pure

nothing better than a nice room temperature glass of Blue for the 10th night of Hanukkah

the nine-year-old i tutor asked me today if i knew that "you could make little faces with the keyboard instead of using emoji" and i felt my soul leave my body the children yearn to soften the tone of a work email with :-)

ben solo. my beautiful son. i named you after the oldest man i ever knew’s witness protection name

wow

Sunshine

stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down TRUMP: Uh huh MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade? TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

BUN

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Dr Oz talking about obesity, diabetes and dementia while Trump is slumped over like a man minutes from death is supremely funny content

1. People have been trying to argue that Ben is a 1:1 ideological nazi for YEARS. Where has this guy been?? 2. The "text of his character" is that he was a lonely little boy with an evil space wizard telepathically whispering in his mind and preying on his insecurities for his ENTIRE LIFE (cont.)

uh, gee, i dunno...IN-UNIVERSE MORALITY?

Kinda forgot about this app haha… #TheHuntForBenSolo #reylo #reyloart

hear me out, THIS time "finding some fictional element from pop culture that mostly women like and deciding it should be destroyed because it's... making society immoral or something" is DEFINITELY going to get us back on the good timeline. we just need these chicks to see reason

So the story of someone with a family history of good who got radicalized to evil young but then later breaks free and becomes good again and then has to atone for his crimes doesn’t have any relevance at all today? None whatsoever?

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.

I think this gets at the dissonance between people who take Star Wars more literally and allegorically and people who are more tapped into like the mythic and emotional angle

people are always complaining about how lazy “redemption by death” is and now here’s an opportunity to explore living atonement and you don’t want it? they didn’t even give the man dialog in the last third of ep ix but it’s a satisfying ending? COME ON

booktok ass harassment training

us for years: they're leaving it open so they can bring him back at a future point adam driver: I have assembled a team to depict ben solo's return for $100 bob iger: jared leto is one of our finest living actors, don't you agree?

my brand

the assumption was always that he’d be the most difficult to lure back, so to know they had him locked the fuck in and hype is so baffling it can only be explained by Iger having reddit chud opinions

Well this aged amazingly

forget about how cathartic it would be for the story they've been telling for almost 50 years to no longer end in tragedy (and the impact restoring the balance of the force would have on the gffa), i can't even comprehend how allergic to money you'd have to be to pass on this

twinning

day 1 shiny lmao

the amount of writing & storytelling that has happened due to both "Rey deserves to have the dude she wants forever!" AND "I don't think Hermione would want the dude she has forever"

"We took freedom of speech away" should be in every campaign ad moving forward.

Star Wars ending in anything but an absolute unapologetic joyous celebratory happy ever after is an utter mythically incorrect ending, argue with a wall

is your moral backbone also made of cheese? because if watching a cartoon or reading a book is enough to completely override your sense of right and wrong, you must not have had any real convictions in the first place.

Anyway as I understand it traditional publishing is struggling and you can decry the fact that they don’t publish what you want to read, but publish writing they know people already like would seem to be a symptom, rather than a cause. Again, I can only recommend touting the stuff you *do* like.

GOOD

HELLO?????

is it GERD or is it The News

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

how the FUCK is my barely 6-year-old macbook pro too old to upgrade to tahoe????
