"The Republican appointee supermajority on the Supreme Court did corrode the rule of law on Tuesday, debasing not just the “democratic process” but also the court by short-circuiting its precious processes and undermining its legitimacy — all to let Alabama kick a Black person out of Congress."

Y'all, it was perfectly good fun. Me and the kid had a blast, and the 3D was put to good immersive use that didn't seem gimicky. Star Wars could use more of these.

Going to actually get around to seeing The Lone Wolf and Grogu with my youngest on Tuesday, excited to finally have An Opinion.

Atlanta influences everything.

Went to the Georgia Renaissance Festival with the family today, and yes, there were funny acrobats and fun costumes and shops and food, but there were also some VERY GOOD BOYS including this DOG with a GUINEA PIG on his HEAD. @darthbluesky.bsky.social

My Lucy Autrey Wilson experience is that as a high schooler I called up Lucasfilm licensing offices in the late 90s hoping to get a scoop for my Willow fansite about the third Shadow War novel. LAW returned my call herself and left a confused but friendly message on my parents' answering machine.

Let’s reelect @ossoff.bsky.social to the Senate, Georgia

I mean. If you take a strictly literal interpretation, I think this is a great scenario.

Go #Vote in your primaries, y'all.

it's gonna be

Very rude for my son's Middle School Band Director to have another early morning practice today during the time my kid and I usually watch the new episodes of #Maul together. How dare he.

Playing RISK for the first time with my 6th Grader. He just started playing the Imperial March before his next turn if you're wondering how that's going.

Been watching an episode of #TheAcolyte with my kid before sending him off to school in the morning (when there aren't new episodes of #Maul! THAT gets priority!), It's his first viewing, and this morning we just watched NIGHT. And that episode still absolutely cooks.

Just finished Malcolm In The Middle: Life's Still Unfair, and man, it works so well. So glad we finished a watch of the OG with the kids earlier in the year so it was not only fresh, but made watching this one with everyone so much more fun.

Visited the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta today with the fam. Found quite a few familiar faces!

My Kid screamed to us from the downstairs to turn on the livestream as the capsule was descending, so we turned it on watched it together as a family, so yeah, Space is Back with the youths, y'all.

The fact that it didn't happen last night doesn't change the fact that this threat was made (and it still ism't off the table!) Don't forget. Don't let Congress off the hook.

so, he should still be removed from office as soon as humanly possible

Trump just threatened to wipe out an entire civilization. We cannot let war make us lose sight of our humanity. We cannot forget that Iranian children are children of God too. We cannot allow war crimes to be committed in our name. Congress must act now.

That's more like it.

The President is openly declaring in no uncertain terms his willingness to do a genocide. "A whole civilization will die tonight" if they do not do as he demands, "never to be brought back again." No coded language, dog whistles, plausible deniability. You support him, you support what happens.

"Do you see them Biggs? Do you see the Star Wars?" -Deleted Scene, Star Wars, 1977

Reminded of that time while I was in the Seattle area in 2008 and some local Church was hosting Jim Caviezel as a special guest on Palm Sunday and advertised it with this giant banner.

My kid: "Oh look, it's Jesus and the Devil!" *looks at the tags* "Wait..."

I've seen this before...

HE HAS RISEN!

The only thing I miss about The Other Place is access to the fantastic archive of unique @darthbluesky.bsky.social reaction gifs, unavailable anywhere else as far as I could find, like the one with TFG grasping for his out-of-reach dangling phone.

My Kid has been doing Duolingo Chess lessons and playing a lot of mobile app chess, and he finally kicked my trash in in-person chess this weekend I am so cooked.

Following a re-read of The Shining, I'm now reading Doctor Sleep for the first time (following a viewing of Flanagan's film - not my usual order! And I really dug it!), and I'm again reminded how easily and deeply I get sucked in to King's prose. Man knows how to tell a story.

Kid's watching Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars, and the SITH ROAST spots hit differently in the Cerveza Cristal Awareness era.

Wonder how long it'll take for @jordanmaison.com to recover from that. #Dune

RETURN OF THE DUNE REVENGE OF THE DUNE THE RISE OF DUNE

Republican members of Congress, these murders are all on you. You actively confirmed Hegseth, and also could have stopped any of this madness at any time. You are cowards. Democrats who aren't doing everything they can are cowards as well.

Here's my bottom line: Much of what they are doing is bad. Much of what they are doing is unpopular. Pushback is working. We are winning. Keep fighting. Be creative. Push for what you'd want. Allow for insiders and outsiders. Realize that change takes time. Reduce harm in the meantime.

This is the same level of stupidity and ignorance that is currently judging exhibits at the Smithsonian and National Park Service.

Andor was so good it made Star Wars weird.

CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES to vote "No" on Mullin or any nominee for DHS secretary. More sand in those fucking gears.

It occurs to me that with no modern Walter Cronkite, the host of JEOPARDY! is by default the most trusted man in America.

I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now! Trump is announcing his nominee. That's it. If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now. And that matters come November.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

NOTE: I deleted an earlier post b/c some are saying she does know. I have heard none of that, and she keeps talking about forward-looking things, but I did not hear the opening of the speech, so I deleted my excited-schadenfreude post.

Kristi Noem 15 minutes from now after she comes off stage from giving a speech at a law enforcement association

Well, I really, REALLY enjoyed the title sequence on the 2024 Salem's Lot on MAX. Wish I could say I felt the same for the rest of it...

RE: Last Reshare - The rediscovery of Star Wars x Cerveza Cristal, with all of the edits following up, is by far the best thing to happen to this fandom in a very long time. Yes, I'm including that. And also that.
