Fiction Check Podcast

The "factual background" begins with something irrelevant and erroneous. Dallas is not in Oregon, and the Dallas shooting wasn't connected to any ICE protest.

If that's enough for the President to federalize a different state's National Guard and deploy them elsewhere, then the power is limitless.

One never knows from oral argument, but listening to DOJ's (aggressive) argument I get the impression that their odds of winning on appeal are non-terrific.

Abbe Lowell up for the appellee now.

The Trump administration is at war with higher education in the United States. The question is not “will universities resist or submit” — it is: “will they survive the onslaught?”

There’s no negotiating with an annihilation attempt: www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/universiti...

Throughout the entire movie I was just thinking about how utterly screwed the situation would be if the rationality of decision-makers of 47 and his cabinet were faced with it.

Mission: Impossible -- the Joni Ernst version

ETHAN HUNT: The life of everyone on the planet is hanging in the balance.
ERNST: (shrugs) Well, we're all going to die sometime.

“There is a wound that won't heal at the center of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it's here. It's here and it's not visiting anymore. It wants to stay.

…it is never more alive than when we asleep.”

I actually really appreciate Andor for being a perfect show to play immediately into Rogue One which is the perfect movie to play directly into A New Hope

I think it’s now really cool that the peak “A New Hope” experience is now maxed out at 1,450 minutes

All of us at the end of #Andor knowing it was a perfect end:

“And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.” - Karis Nemik

Lmao this definitely explains the stunning clothes of the prequels vs the hand-me-down outfits in the Original trilogy.

Welcome to the party!

Kleya will reveal herself as Princess Leia when she is taken before Palpatine. She’ll plunge a dagger through him, but then he will tell her that she “should have gone for the head” before he uses the Infinity Gauntlet to transport the Galaxy into the MCU.

“The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.” #Andor
