The Avatar cultural impact debate is kinda pointless because it seems to usually come from people not willing to admit that maybe people outside their particular online bubble exist. This happens with people expressing confusion that fans of the Star Wars prequels exist too. It's really nothing deep

the good things about the thing you like are sometimes actually because of the things you think aren't good, and understanding why those things are good actually is a way to learn to be a better human.
assuming because you don't get it that it's bad is how you calcify and become small white noise

"Everyone uses AI in their daily life" No I fucking don't actually.
2026 and I still have no clue how to even access chatGPT, never touched any Gen AI, never got into the stupid Ghibli pfp trend, and I scroll pass the AI Summary every time I google anything.

Few things embody the imbalance in US politics and media better than the juxtaposition of the killing of a famous right-wing bigot prompting prominent 'liberal' politicians and outlets to preemptively eulogize, and the killing of a regular decent person prompting conservatives to gloat.

Vance’s comments over the recent murder of that poor woman should permanently disqualify him from any public service. Every time that pig opens his mouth, that clip should be played on loop, so people know exactly who he is.

They are extremely unpopular, unable to significantly expand their forces (they are already poaching local police for ICE and reassigning significant percentages of FBI/ATF toward enforcement), lacking in organizational resilience and one bum ticker/blood clot away from total movement collapse

Writing this and realising how George Lucas deeply cared about the political and economic systems of Star Wars in a way that grounds it much closer to science fiction than I have previously realised.
The science part of science fiction is about making an experiment by varying the parameters of what the world is. If you don’t care about what the world is (quantum physics, that people are usually kind, etc) then your experiment (fiction) isn’t going to speak to the human condition.

Honestly think that if you pulled twitter from the App Store and shut it down it would fuck up the entire right wing ecosystem at that point. Like the entire media apparatus would fall apart.

Absolutely wild to do this when they encouraged a minor to overdose on drugs LIKE TWO DAYS AGO

This gives "The Phantom Menace" when Amidala asks for help from an invasion and it gets deferred to a committee - vibes.
MPD said they turned the investigation over to the FBI. Why in the sam fuck would you do that?

It’s always interesting to see the different ways people out themselves as having not read the article being shared in any given post. Some folks really feel no shame in admitting they have no interest in learning about the topic of discussion that they’re chiming in on.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery
my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

Look, I’m not a huge Filoni fan. His catalog is VERY spotty, especially in the Disney era, and I fundamentally disagree with a lot of his views on the Jedi. That being said, Kennedy was completely spineless in her acquiescing to Abrams’ brilliant idea of throwing Lucas’ ST story in the shredder.
Dave Filoni & Lynwen Brennan will reportedly replace Kathleen Kennedy as the new Co-Presidents of Lucasfilm.
Brennan is getting promoted from General Manager and will oversee executive duties, while Filoni will lead all creative development.

Every time you watch something from a YouTube video essayist, start from the presumption that they’re full of shit, and that it’s up to them to prove you wrong.
Please dont get your beliefs about anything (from politics to media) from youtubers. They are professional liars (my friends who have youtube channels innocent ofc lol)

I hate being so negative about anyone, but my frustration with JG's Star Wars video is basically that it has all the intellectual rigor, misinformation, and confirmation bias issues of a right-wing provocateur's video/podcast

Jessie Gender has some serious complaints with the slavery issue in Phantom Menace.
Do her complaints have anything to do with the actual text of the films? Of course not.
