Anakin Skywalker for all of episode 2 is a walking red flag.

I just finished another domestika course from Evan Amundsen, about illustration and worldbuilding.
As a world builder, this was a course that affirmed, for me, that I was on the right track. If you spend any time at all building worlds for TTRPG's, I highly recommend it.

My favorite Star Wars character has always been Obi-Wan.

The only bad thing about Episode 1 is Jarjar, and i'm not accepting alternate opinions.
The difference in fight choreography between Obi-Wan and Qui Gon though? With the FIRST instance we hear duel of the fates?
Peak.
Also the parade song is peak.

Just finished the Acolyte.
The actors did great, but the writing was deeply lacking. Middle school me could have written this story in her sleep - and that isn't a compliment.
Jecki was my favorite, Dafne did great. Jodi, Lee, and Manny all did great with their characters.
Amandla was done dirty.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

I stayed up way too late last night calling, emailing, and tagging senators and spreading news.
CALL, EMAIL, DM, TAG YOUR SENATORS
The final vote on this budget proposition will happen today or tomorrow.
Ask them NOT to pass a budget that doesn't include an extension of the ACA subsidies. (1/4)

I had accidentally watched episode 1 of Andor before starting my Star Wars in chronological order (it should have been Acolyte).
I get why people were mad at Acolyte.
Andor episode 1 is so good.

The Acolyte tries to be clever when it's not.
It's so predictable, but not in a fun way. Good fight scenes though. I think the actors did really well, it's just that the writing is terrible.

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts.

Sign painting (or at least that aesthetic) rules because it implies a human hand was involved in it. Seeps intention, clever visual hierarchy, and charm.
There are a lot of arguments for why Mamdani won. I, a pundit, believe it was the typeface.

Against my better judgement, I'm probably starting another home game... One of my friends has never quite done a proper game of 5e, and I want to change that for her.
The problem is, i have a wild west campaign that i need to finish up before i do that lol.

I don't believe in guilty pleasures. I love everything I love without shame. If you're ashamed to love what you love, I'll love it harder in your honor.

I need to be playing more D&D but one of the perks of being an adult is losing any free time you have.
