Last good Star Wars so far.

Watching Strange New Worlds. I’m very much late to the party, but damn this is good Trek.

When I was about 12 I was told that I’d eventually grow out of my tabletop RPG hobby and my obsession with Star Wars.
I’m now in my 50s.
Last Friday I ran another session of the #WestEndGames #StarWars RPG for my son and his college friends.
Take that, boring grownups.

Homeland Security was always a fascist concept. Now its officers are behaving like the Gestapo out in the open, without even pretending to be legitimately enforcing the law.

I want to know the lore behind the differences between the 6-wing and the 9-wing…

It’s such good writing and acting. It’s less of a raygun-blasting space opera and more of a slow-burn political thriller that just happens to take place in a galaxy far, far away. Much grittier than any of the movies (except Rogue One), but it still works.

That was the moment. Kate on the lobotomy-go-round was a close second. Even Maximilian doing the blender-hands thing to the one scientist guy was less scary for me.

For me it was the mirror-faced humanoids. They gave young me the screaming heebie-jeebies.

Does anyone else feel like Dedra’s character arc was darn near perfect, narratively speaking? #andor

Hey, thanks for writing that book. Your work helped me and my friends create some amazing memories back in the day, and now I’m running a SWTRPG campaign for my son and his friends. The saga continues.

I grew up watching Robin of Sherwood on cable TV in the US, and Clannad’s theme and incidental music for the show was my gateway to the wider world of Irish traditional music.

Dunno who needs to hear this, but β€œI was only following orders” won’t hold up in a legitimate court.
There’s like 80 years of precedent.

ICE is our Gestapo. If it were ever a respectable job, it isn’t anymore.

Did Trump put tariffs on McDonald island because he thinks they export hamberders to the US?

I’m astonished that anyone would need to be told this, but we don’t live in a world where republican reps and senators have our national interest at heart.
