The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

I lost star wars trivia on my cruise because I misread the question as “Anakin’s nickname for Ahsoka” instead of the other way around. I will be mad about this to my grave.

The Star Wars Movie Draft on The Big Picture. Some interesting discourse about lightsabers here. open.spotify.com/episode/5RKN...

going on a cruise for a few days and will be off the grid. hopefully no major world events happen during that time! 🫪

the last good social media is about to be destroyed and sold to billionaires. lovely!

I think my most cancelable take about the Mando movie is that the press tour ("press" tour) treating Grogu as a real person and not the work of a group of—incredibly talented!—puppeteers who go unacknowledged and unnamed kind of grosses me out

This is not the time for wild speculation about what happened. It’s time to bet on Kalshi about what happened

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

the star tours freaks come out in full force once the wait time is 5 minutes or less and i love it

I FINALLY GOT CASSIAN ON STAR TOURS

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

There’s a time as we age where we must decide where we draw the line in adapting new slang and I’ve drawn it at “maxxing” and “mogging.”

everything needs more COLOR. stop making the world we interact with and observe everyday BORING

People Just Keep Watching 'The Acolyte'

spotted at WDW. definitely one of the shirts of all time!

the Mando & Grogu showing I’m going to on Saturday afternoon — first Star Wars movie in seven years by the way!

apparently Martin Scorsese’s character in Mando & Grogu is related to Rio Durant from Solo because apparently everyone needs to be related in Star Wars and we gotta make the galaxy feel smaller!

The wild reaction and incessant fan demands surrounding THE PITT Season 2 got me riled up, so I decided to take to @popheist.com and use this particular fandom moment to make a very important point about fiction. The Story Owes You Nothing.

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

Maul: Shadow Lord episode six is just outright fucking incredible. I love the energy this show is bringing.

Hey everybody! I am taking the helm of this classic American institution with @theonion.com and want to know what you fine folks would like to see from us.

There was a time when short form social media (at the time, Twitter) was a productive place to think out loud and in conversation with people and for the last year I have held out hope that it cools continue being that but to be honest, I do not think this site (or Threads!) serves me in that way

ZOHRAN MAMDANI: "It is sad that for too many Americans when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, they have to turn to a history book."

palantir should be viewed as the enemy of modern society

record store day success 👏

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

so uh, who’s the artist for the Star Wars Celebration 2027 key art? because…

Jamie Dornan is Aragorn!!! 👀

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO

Trump/Vance are proof that you can shamelessly rig the federal government, the news media and the entire digital ecosystem in your favor and still be broadly understood as embarrassing losers.

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

“this is my desert. my coachella. my dune."

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

and i believe in cinema

Quite the week for the president of the United States on Truth Social. Sunday: "Praise be to Allah!" Tuesday: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Thursday: [video of a woman being murdered]

Trump and his administration do not care about women’s lives. Posting a video of a woman being graphically murdered is yet another form of objectification and dehumanization. The purpose of it was to shock and offend, in order to encourage racism against immigrant men. It is a form of terror.

IT'S A 50 GOAL SEASON FOR COLE CAUFIELD!

timeline cleanse featuring ✨the boys✨

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

remember those other branches of government

Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.
