Worst pieces of Star Wars media:
Book of Boba Fett
Rise of Skywalker
Obi Wan show
Mandalorian S2 onwards.
These four are so bad that IMHO Attack of the Clones (dog shit) is not half as bad. I'd rather watch AOTC any day than these awful things.

If the world is going to be made a better place some politician is going to have to deal with the fact that the police are a gang who will veto (via lax enforcement, obstruction, or veiled threats) any policy the conservative movement tells them to. Looks like Mamdani ain't the guy!
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch touted today how the department's crime fighting tactics are working, saying she sees no need to change them.
Standing next to her, Mayor Mamdani — who promised various NYPD reforms during the campaign — didn't object. www.nydailynews.com/2026/01/06/a...

As Mamdani and Tisch tout drops in NYC crime, unclear how their policy differences will play out
Tisch and Mamdani appeared together at NYPD headquarers to tout the impressive end-of-year crime stats, which included a 20% drop in homicides.

Remember how Book Of Boba Fett put the dramatic stakes of its finale on a duel between Boba Fett and Cad Bane, a character who had never appeared in live action before and who was not named in the show, to settle a rivalry that was only established in unmade Clone Wars episodes talked about at cons

Filoni is only good at making mid cartoons. Zero actual vision outside of like Funko Pop collections which I guess means he really is perfect for Shit Wars.
Dave Filoni & Lynwen Brennan will reportedly replace Kathleen Kennedy as the new Co-Presidents of Lucasfilm.
Brennan is getting promoted from General Manager and will oversee executive duties, while Filoni will lead all creative development.

Part of what we're trying todo at Typebar is restore a kind of essay (and genre of analysis, really) that mainstream outlets have mostly abandoned.

Good literary criticism is just as valuable in every respect as a good novel; it's incredibly sad to see it cut out by digital performance metrics and private equity companies.
Makes me grateful for places like Ancillary Review of Books & Typebar doing the good work in a hostile media environment.

not to go all identity politics but I think it’s also because the victims are women
one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

This is not any big insight but it is especially important during wartime to remind ourselves that journalism does not serve the US military, or American interests, but rather "the public good," which includes all of humanity.

Did you know that the word "honey" is known in the Nepali language as... "Maha"?!
Well you can guess where this story is headed when psychoactive "mad" honey catches the attention of MAHA-adjacent "podcast bros" the same time MAHA guts the U.S.'s food and supplement safety apparatus:

The benefit of an MFA is it makes you aware of how limited you are. If you react to this with grace you'll become both broader and more honed as an artist, with more general knowledge of what's possible but also how to execute your ideas with your given limitations (also called a skill set)

Mamdani rescinded every executive order issued by Eric Adams after Adams's indictment, but still the "New York Times" is focusing exclusively on two of those orders that had to do with Israel.
There is someone singling out Israel here. And it isn't Zohran Mamdani.

I really think that if you're a journalist who knew about it beforehand and you didn't report on it, you're a monster
(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops ..
