STARFIRE: The Gordanians hate our freedom. The Washington should -don’t roll your eyes.
RAVEN: I’m just saying, you’ve supported 17 of the last 5 wars.
STARFIRE: By X’hal, no peace until every chain is broken! I refuse to be lectured by a woman whose husband votes Green Party because he’s green!

Going for a rebrand with continuity given *gestures at pronouns in bio. Decided to go with this because I can keep the “Star” moniker and also I enjoyed making this joke.

I remember @irhottakes.bsky.social saying that Tony ended up being more of a mentor to Kamala than Carol did and tbh MS. MARVEL (2015) #11 really drives that home during CIVIL WAR 2.

Luke has nothing but respect for Martyr of the Old Republic, Count Dooku, while Mara suspects his motives.

Some proposals:
-Mara gets cancelled for making a transphobic remark about Emperor Palpatine.
-Luke's "raw milk" bullshit grosses her out
-She refers to Grogu as "that little shit"
-She's allergic to Chewbacca
-Yoda's force ghost watches them during sex

Okay, nerds. Here's a prompt to distract you from our collective mental breakdown:
What is the funniest possible reason for Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade to break up if they introduce her into the Disney canon?

Starfire started calling it ”the Amerikkka” after Trump threatened to attack NATO but isn’t aware it’s just a spelling thing and pronounces all three ks. Her sponsors at the Bulwark are too afraid to correct her, so Bill Kristol has to call it “the Amerikuhkuhkuha” now.

NEVER ASSUME AMERICANS WILL READ FOR FUCKS SAKE!
Mueller admitted, more or less privately, that he assumed people would read his report and based on what it said, be like, "there is a lot of smoke, but we never found the gun or the body because of ALL THE OBSTRUCTION. YOU KNOW, THE CRIMES. BAD ONES."
we give garland a lot flak, and rightfully so, but looking jack smith's opening statement, i think we're all way too kind letting robert mueller slink back into the shadows

they should run Sarah McBride because it would be really fucking funny if she won.
i feel like Shapiro and Newsom are broadly overrated as 2028 contenders
I remain perplexed by Shapiro's apparent belief that attacking Kamala Harris, and on an issue where Shapiro is incredibly out of step with his party's base, will somehow catapult him to the presidency.

Yes, American society is sick and broken.
No, self-flagellation is not substitute for action and people in other countries dealing with our shit would rather us clean our mess so they no longer have to put up with the stink than hear us performatively mope about it.
Are we done here now?

I simultaneously do not see how this is sustainable or how this ends given GOP polarization against like... the concept of virtue as such.

The official stance of the United States government is that the reporter who asked if a Malaysian airliner got sucked into a black hole is just too hard-hitting in his journalism for them to legally tolerate.

Checking in on EU officials who definitely buy Trump’s supposed pivot on Greenland… www.ft.com/content/fb90...
![But many EU officials were sceptical that Trump's pivot to a diplomatic solution was sustainable.
"He's patently unstable," the official added.
"He can come back tomorrow and decide every EU country is getting tariffs. He can decide that actually he's fine to use military force and invade [Greenland]. I hope that [EU leaders] don't fall for it."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5oevos635qa5cttq4y5w5cbf/bafkreiado2vd5wytvwlujk6vfq4iw5ytflvtm3ets3odrodtpxo654xk5q@jpeg)

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.
I wrote on the shameful situation re: the recession of a deanship to Emily Suski at the University of Arkansas Law. What was the reason? Prof. Suski signed an amicus brief supporting trans rights. The Arkansas legislators admitted that was it! Horrible outcome. ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...
A Law School Dean Signed a Brief Defending Trans Rights. She Lost Her Job Because of It
The revocation of Emily Suski’s job offer at the University of Arkansas sends a chilling message to law professors everywhere.

I would say a cycle rather than a circle tbh. I expect this to repeat like eight more times. It's hard to get our evil bastard king off his hyperfixations.

Slightly surreal that the stock market basically relies on the playground logic of "nuh-uh, I had an invisible force field!" and this somehow works even after it is pointed out that their Donny Trump action figure might come with Kung-Fu Cheeto Grip, but no force field is included.
Incredible, Greenland's PM is now refuting the one part of this that represented any change to the status quo ante.
