The new trailer for THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU includes a hidden deep cut reference to two amazing Star Wars books and ties to a real-life historical event.

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit
you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

Directors I would rather see win BC MM this year than Scorsese:
Preston Sturges
Oliver Stone
Warren Beatty
Mike Leigh
Hal Ashby
Jacques Tati
Tony Scott
That being said, looking forward to an After Hours ep that runs for four hours.

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires
is there a technology that "the left" is excited about?

The left is missing out on AI
As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

definitely seems like you're safer from any kind of punishment for being in the Epstein Files than for, say, just to pick two examples totally at random, attending a college protest for Gaza or tweeting that you weren't very sad Charlie Kirk died
Has anyone in the Epstein Files who didn’t do anything wrong been punished? Maybe someone who was at a meeting Epstein was at. Never went to the island, didn’t get money from him, nor had a bunch of friendly emails.
Anyone get arrested, fired, etc.? Because moral panics feature that sort of thing.

You do not get to Donald Trump and American Fascism without George W. Bush and if you find yourself trying to paint him in a positive light you have absolutely lost the plot.

Someone could still file! There's over a month! I would argue people stanning for Platner and trying to ignore **his Nazi tattoo scandal** are actually making it less likely there could be another alternative. This is not about Collins or Mills! It's about Platner on his own merits.
There's other choices between the Nazi tattoo guy! We could just... choose someone else! Mills isn't my first choice, but there's things in the world worse than being 79, and being a Nazi is one of them!
