Cool #starwars news I guess, but...
Reminder that there is no "original theatrical version" of Star Wars (1977) because there were multiple versions of the movie in theaters from the start.
Also, the special edition is the best version and I wish George Lucas would've kept making even more changes

Share a '90s movie that you think deserves more love.

Norway just needed to lose by fewer than 8 goals to Italy to qualify for the World Cup… instead we beat them at home 4-1.

Spotted a piece of Revenge of the Sith concept art I'd never seen before in the latest Star Wars Insider.
That's a good day in my book.

Finished season 3 of Yellowjackets this last week, and yeah, I think ending it after season 4 is probably the right call. I liked the second half of s3 better than the first half so hopefully it can end on a high-ish note.

One of these movies gave me a decent idea for a short story I'll probably end up writing at some point.

Just reread a short story I wrote four years ago, and somehow I didn't hate it.

Today's writing session was a lot of heavy lifting and not so much of my preferred lighthearted banter. Still, favorite line of the day was
"Isn't it possible you actually like her as a person, and not just because she's a girl who gives you butterflies in your tummy?"

Of all the dialogue I wrote today, this is my favorite line:
"Didn't she think it was suspicious when a thirteen-year-old complete stranger with a kinda cute serial killer notebook showed up on her doorstep asking her a bunch of weird questions about her nephew who died suddenly a decade ago?"

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.
