Sounds like a “shit and quit” to me

Ook.

Ook, ook-ook?

Because then they would have to live in it, and would theoretically stop burning it down.

I don’t know if “best” feels right, but I can see the upside. Of course, then they’d be immortal overlords, and that probably wouldn’t go well either.

Did that kid genocide some frog people for giggles too?

Andor is genuine meaningful storytelling. Disney hasn’t the slightest clue what Star Wars was about and it’s only when they accidentally give someone creative the reins that they get good content. Based on actions in the last years, if Disney had actually figured out the message of Andor, they would have stopped it to avoid upsetting investors, shareholders, and consumers.

Rogue One was also well done, as a classic WWII movie painted lovingly in a glossy coat of Star Wars. It was the epitome of what “A Star Wars Story” should have been: classic tales and tropes done well in a galaxy far, far away. You want to print money? Remake classics like Home Alone or Die Hard in the SW universe.

Mandalorian S1 was a solid telling of the lone wolf & cub trope, with great acting through the helmet. Then it became a Grogu marketing vehicle that was also tied in to the travesty of the ST and all other point was lost.

Believe it or not, Skeleton Crew was a good “kids on bikes” tale, with exactly the right energy for the “it’s a kids’ movie” crowd. It’s not flawless, but it has heart and joy.

Otherwise, I can’t think of a Disney offering that isn’t flashing lights, jangling keys, and memberberries.

The OT and PT were for kids, but also had deep meaning that clearly connected with multiple generations into adulthood. No other franchise in nerddom is close to being the cultural touchstone that is classic Star Wars.

“Nobody hates Star Wars like Star Wars fans” is like “if you won’t respect me, I won’t respect you.” Same words, but used wrong. Fans hate what has been done to Star Wars because it’s like seeing the decaying corpse of a loved one used as a fist-in-the-ass puppet in a commercial for hemorrhoid cream.

Naw, my 6th grade was on the ground floor and so is my house. I read at the same level.

I re-watched Idiocracy recently… it was smarter than this.

Similar words: coddled is treated carefully, cobbled is poorly constructed.

I agree. The middle of the bell curve is woefully inadequate. Those dingalings.

Yes, that is what the clueless executives think.

I’ve never worked with a junior developer that was worse than AI is now. It’s often confidently wrong and can do so much damage, all while winning the politics battle without trying.

This phrasing of “received his letter” made me think of a new, unwelcome meaning for Hogwarts.

Cooling in space is actually much harder, without a medium to carry the heat away. I believe I saw an idea of a 4km x 4km solar array? Hilarious. Also any sort of maintenance would be blindingly expensive.

They’d be better off collecting solar power on smaller arrays and beaming it to floating data centers on the ocean.

If, you know, we weren’t already cooking the ocean and shitting the air and globally sliding into fascism. Oops!

This is more than a little bit wrong.

In response to Texas redrawing districts to decrease democratic and Democratic representation, California proposed “here’s a CA district map to offset Texas cheating that we want to use for now.” District drawing reverts to independent commission at the census (when it’s scheduled next).

Are you often angry? Do you suspect your wives have all hated you? Was your cameo in a popular movie sequel unsatisfying? Anxious about your smell or going to prison?

The cannot fathom that someone else living well doesn’t take something from them

Except the billionaires. They aren’t taking anything, they worked 10 million times as hard.
