I guess we're lining up for a whole new set of Paramount Decrees. Talk about history rhyming (I hope so, at least).

In addition to my lightsaber habit (with about 6 different hilts in various states of development), I've got two blaster projects and already started planning three more. Please help. I'm going to have to get into making fan films just to justify making all these Star Wars props.

I am going to put on an Audiobook and work on lightsabers and not even watch social media reacting to the State of the Union, much less watch the speech itself.

The Matrix series of movies implies a Mator series of movies.

I think the official Democratic response to the State of the Union should just be someone giving the jerkoff motion and then saying "Did you hear all that bullshit? Can you believe this fuckin' guy?"

Kyle McLaughlin as Agent Cooper in the show Twin Peaks. He's wearing a black suit with a dark tie and driving a car through. He holds a tape recorder up to speak into it and say "Diane. 11:30 am. February 24. I'm entering the town of Twin Peaks."

Happy Entering the Town of Twin Peaks Day to all who celebrate! Get yourself a slice of pie and a damn fine cup of coffee*.

*Don't feel obligated to drink the coffee black like Agent Dale Cooper. I certainly don't.

As dull as most of us in the working world find slide deck presentations, I wonder if they'd be received better than speeches by candidates. Like the first major candidate who makes a presentation instead of a speech might hold people's attention better.

I can understand it a little in a sense of "kill the part of you that cringes" sense. But there's no amount of fun thrill ride stuff that makes up for fucking up the fundamentals. If you're spending hundreds of millions of dollars, you can take the time to get that right.

I primarily used it for podcasts and the ability to swap from my PC to my phone without missing a beat. It recently stopped doing that, so I dumped it for another app and imported my playlists to Tidal.

I know that we're having a hard time getting some people on board with "Abolish ICE" so I propose a different slogan based on the popularity of the Winter Olympics and the US accomplishments: "Zamboni ICE"

Glass Onion did a bit of it without being dark, but that's largely to make fun of all the people involved.

Don't worry. The app will also touch up your photos to make it look like you've been going to the gym and getting buff af.

Looking forward to the Ilan Wurman articles about "actually the framers never intended what Marbury v. Madison does, and it's actually against the principles of America's founding for a branch to seize power undemocratically like that."

Trump's next executive order is that Marbury v. Madison doesn't count.

Almost time to get back on my electroplating horse. First up, cover these threads in sticky blue glue so they don't get plated.

Don't forget Much Ado About Nothing. Apparently, it was originally supposed to star Val Kilmer, which would be a shame, because I like Keanu's line read about room service. Hard to imagine it being delivered by Iceman.
