β€˜Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back’ Celebrating Its 45th Anniversary At The Opening of This Popular Film Festival Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is celebrating its 45th anniversary by opening the 16th TCM Classic Film Festival. Get the details.

45 years ago today, my usually rule-following, uptight mother lied to my elementary school and took me to an opening day matinee of ESB. Thanks, mom.

The relief and surprise when an elder band releases a decent song that sounds like it could show up anywhere in their discography. You wrote a good song, Petey. open.spotify.com/track/6g6DnH...

This looks great. Have to admit that the idea of the superfamily on screen made me nervous, but that’s what I thought about a talking raccoon.

Kristi Noem in tight athleisureβ€”white top, drawstring grey pantsβ€”in front of a prison cell packed with mostly shirtless men. Noem’s hair cascades out of her navy DHS cap. The men appear to be wearing loose white patient pants. Norm wears a heavy gold-and-silver watch. The men’s arms are at their sides or clasped in front, as if they’ve been told to stand at attention. Noem’s cap is pulled low, so we can’t really see her eyes; instead, her face appears comprised mainly of lips. The men’s heads have been shaved; there’s lighting on Noem but they’re in the murk, hard to distinguish from one another.

Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump
Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump).
	β€’	Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges.
	β€’	Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side.
	β€’	A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush.
	β€’	The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.

1/🧡 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trumpβ€”it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

Episodes like this are why I feel like some people on platforms like thisβ€”who are Way Too Online and only talk to other Extremely Online peopleβ€”negatively polarise themselves into an impression of liberalism that bears no relationship to how ordinary people in the real world actually practice it.

Scientists and journalists need to figure out right quick how to explain to the average person how a massive change in research indirects will impact the medical care they and their children get (eg at the local children’s hospital), the education their children will get, the price of tuition, etc.
