It really just seems like a Stephen Curry vanity project. Another rich athlete wanted his own Space Jam.

I mean, ok, fine, whatever.

It’s not for me. And that’s ok.

She also said she was going to probably piss a lot of people off. A political faux pas perhaps, but I appreciate the moxy.

So’s the haircut.

Season 2, episode 1, Be Right Back.

Red Letter Media’s final thoughts on the state of Star Wars were pretty insightful: It’s become a container with a very specific aesthetic that Disney can pile an infinite number of things into: multi-quadrant science fiction blockbusters, preschool cartoons, carnival rides, political dramas, kids adventures, whatever.

It’s since stopped being a finite thing anyone can love anymore. When something becomes everything, it loses distinctness. That distinctness, whatever it was, is what early fans originally fell in love with.

Of course, those original objects still exist, but you have to specify them. You’re an “original trilogy” fan or an Andor fan or the made-for-TV Ewok movies fan†, but saying you’re a Star Wars fan is basically meaningless now. And for people who proudly wore that mantle, through eyerolls and ridicule, that’s a genuine loss.

† Teek from Battle for Endor has a posse.

With the solid interop between skarkey and mastodon, this tracks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_pension

As of 2019, members who participated in the congressional pension system are vested after five years of service.

Elected in Dec 2020, sworn in January 3 2021. Re-elected Nov 2024, resigning effective January 5 2026, mere days after her pension eligibility kicked in.

She's a fucking grifter. End of story.

It's number 1.

She's ridden the ride long enough to do speaking engagements and political commentary for as long as she can remain entertaining. Also book deals, but that depends if she can scare up a ghostwriter who's willing to attach their name to her.

It seems that the major national theater chains aren't playing nice with Netflix at the moment. Wake Up Dead Man, along with Frankenstein, are only screening in relatively small local theaters.

But you know what? I love it. I don't have a lot of money to spend, but what money I do have to see movies, I really want to give to those kinds of venues.

Corporate multiplexes can suck eggs.

Tech Union Congress YouTube channel? I can't subscribe to that fast enough.

That is a "call me whatever you want, like I give a shit" move, locked in with some uninvited and unreciprocated back-slapping. Slimy.

Ain’t no rule!

I'm in for whoever has the best plans for Babylon 5.

Dandan noodles strike again!

I'd love to see the online chatter about a potential WB acquisition by Netflix be peppered with speculation about the future of the Babylon 5 franchise.

Ok, emails mostly. I have received a few letters though! Public service employers can be old fashioned that way.

Ack'd; new link provided. Thanks!

You know, I'm not certain, but I think this might be based on the Visionary Game Silent Hill 2...

For context:

Half a dozen members of Congress who previously served in the military or intelligence community are urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey illegal orders that might be issued by President Donald Trump’s administration. Democratic lawmakers Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan said the “threats to our Constitution” are coming “from right here at home,” and repeatedly urged the military and intelligence community to “refuse illegal orders.”

The video was posted on twitter, but I'm attaching it below.

I always optimize for most even weight distribution within 12- or 18-egg containers. It makes the containers more stable when closed for moving them between the counter and the refrigerator.

Those egg trays are too floppy to handle.
