The Tories blowing up a +20 point lead will be remembered as one of the greatest political fuckups in recent history.

Doing a grounded, nuts and bolts look at insurgency and imperial bureaucracy set in a universe of space wizards with laser swords absolutely should not work.

Good show.

As the federal election campaign officially begins, a reminder—it has not all happened; it has not all been decided; tomorrow can be as surprising as any day man has ever lived.

A few weeks is a lifetime, in politics.

Been reading the shit out of @maxboot.bsky.social's excellent book on Reagan.

Found this Sep 1981 letter from a federal worker quite prescient:

“Your administration has made me ashamed to be a civil servant. You, Mr. President, have needled us in nearly every speech, all but calling us lazy.”

In his 1941 State of the Union Address, amid European War, FDR said the struggle around the world and inside the country was between democracy and dictatorship—warned against “that small group of selfish men who could clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests”:

I've often heard how, at the time, the script for “Star Trek“ was considered the best they'd ever read by many in the business — and they weren't kidding.

If you're a filmmaker, seek it out.

Sad to see the last family-owned movie franchise handed over to the suits; one of our last, great theatrical events. Don’t dilute that with a plethora of streaming spin-offs.
