So, I just moderated a Star Wars panel with a professional Star Wars author. That was fun, even if I didn't know what I was doing

If I was writing a Star Wars I would create a really important character named Baibee Ohda just to make casual folks really confused.

I was told it was an outrage when prayer and worship is disrupted.
Arrests calmly ongoing.

This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

Yes! Give me more Beekeeper and it's insanity.

If you haven't watched The Beekeeper, do yourself a favor and watch it. It's so much fun
‘THE BEEKEEPER 2’ will release on January 15, 2027 in theaters.

Directed by Timo Tjahjanto.

Another solid episode of Starfleet Academy. This show is a lot of fun.

I'm pretty sure this episode had more profanity or should I say "colorful metaphors" than all of Star Trek up to this point, not saying it's a bad thing just an observation.

I understand this point of view and I know I've made similar complaints in the past, but isn't there an aspect of Star Wars that the story has always been told out of order and with the understanding that things have happened off screen in between stories?
To understand why there's a Maul cartoon you have to go back and watch the Clone Wars *but not in broadcast order you need a viewing guide* and then Rebels *but not until you watch the Maul cartoon because Rebels takes place after the new series.*

YOU LITERALLY NEED A FLOWCHART.

Had to go to the grocery store tonight, you'd think a massive storm was on the way. It was madness

I'm disappointed that Life of Chuck didn't get any Oscar nominations, it was so good. Just a beautiful movie.

I'm also shocked that Superman didn't get any technical nods as well

I need to finally sit down and watch Train Dreams. I've heard so much good about it but also that it's heavy and sometimes I just want to watch the dumb action movie instead

And rightfully so because the movie is fantastic

As someone who spent the last 15 years working with aging brains & dementia, I can't stop thinking about this. It is gerontocracy: leaders who are substantially older than most of the adult population. When did we accept this? The new generations can't show up because the old generations never left.

I want to be clear that when it comes to AI, I don't use it. Like at all. I've turned AI off on Google and Windows, haven't updated my iPhone to the latest model that has it, and don't even fuck around with it for fun. No chatbots. No solo D&D. Nothing.

And my life is all the better for it.
