Peanuts (Charles Schultz) comic: Charlie Brown is lying on his back on the ground outside at night, while Linus stands over him, saying "I have been asked to tell you that your cries of anguish are keeping the whole neighborhood awake!" Charlie Brown has been photoshopped/edited so that he is now wearing a USS Arleigh Burke hat

The only thing George Lucas should ever restore to the original '77 Star Wars is the Tosche Station scene, because Biggs really did have that shit on tho
Still from a deleted scene in Star Wars (1977) on Tatooine; Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) is talking with Biggs Darklighter (Garrick Hagon); Luke dressed in his farm tunic with utility belt, while Biggs has dark leather pants, a white belt, dark shirt, white leather(?) flight jacket, and a dark cape. And the coolest mustache pre-Magnum PI era.

How eerie could it be, REALL--oh, word, FIRST image google throws at you, huh, nevermind
Google results for "walpack"; in addition to the Wikipedia page further down in the search results and the Maps inset to the right, the main/first result is a slideshow of images, the first and foremost is an incredibly haunted-looking abandoned 19th cent/early 20th cent home in the barren woods, with stone walls and bridge over what appears to be a small manmade water channel, possibly making this a mill. I cannot express how perfectly Northeast-Haunted this looks.

As a corollary, if the principal's first line of defense for not acting on accusations of students making CSAM of other students is "well, y'know kids, they lie about shit all the fuckin' time," the parents of said kids should get a free swing at the principal during the next Back to School Night.
"As the school day wound down, the principal was skeptical. At the disciplinary hearing, the girl’s attorney asked why the sheriff's deputy didn’t check the phone of the boy the girls were accusing and why he was allowed on the same bus as the girl. “Kids lie a lot,” responded Coriell, the principal. “They lie about all kinds of things. They blow lots of things out of proportion on a daily basis. In 17 years, they do it all the time. So to my knowledge, at 2 o’clock when I checked again, there were no pictures.”"

Speaking as someone who has been WAY into Star War since I was like, 4, "As someone who makes a living with longform Star Wars youtube rants" is the kind of thing that should be responded to with a straightjacket and a quiet room to think about their life rather than a platform in any way.
Brice: I feel like it’s worsening. Honestly one of the big things for me is price increases. I know you kind of mentioned how the economy’s getting better, and maybe I’m not plugged in to how things are going on the macro scale. But I mean when I go to Walmart or Aldi, meat is $6 to $8 for a pound. That’s terrible. And I think the culture war is affecting media too much . . . As someone who makes money off an interest in Star Wars, anyone who knows what Star Wars is like now knows how that is going. It feels like companies are putting more of their political agenda in entertainment in order to sway the public, instead of just trying to make an entertainment product. And I’d say that about conservative groups, too . . . I think Christian values matter, but . . . stories are suffering because of political leanings being injected in there.

And again!
Moderator: Where do you get your political news from? Andrew: Spotify podcasts like Tucker Carlson, or Rumble with Nick Fuentes. Atticus: A guy who’s been in the political radio space for 40 years or so, he’s an older dude who I think went to Vandy. Crom Carmichael. Brice: I get a lot of my political news from YouTubers. Ashley: Most of the news that I get is through TikTok, or just conversation with other people.

Andrew, a 20-year-old white Christian landscaper, who considers himself “very right wing” and voted for Trump in 2024, but isn’t sure if he’ll vote in the next election. Andrew describes himself as a close follower of Nick Fuentes and drove in from rural Tennessee, far outside of Nashville, to participate in this focus group. Ashley, a 29-year-old white Baptist woman who works as a subcontractor renovating homes. She is a high school-educated Republican. Atticus, a 25-year-old white non-denominational Protestant man, who has attended some college, and works in marketing. He is a Republican. Brice, a 24-year-old white Baptist man. He attended some college and previously worked in security. He is now self-employed as a writer, working primarily on a Star Wars YouTube channel. He is an Independent who voted for Trump in 2024.

"FISHBACK’S OPPONENTS HAVE NOT attacked him for his racist and fascistic impulses. Instead, they have seized on the allegation that he had a relationship with someone under the age of consent. On December 5, the website Florida Politics reported on a petition for a protective order Fishback’s ex-fiancée filed against him earlier this year. The woman said that they first met in 2021, when she was a 16-year-old high school sophomore and he was 26, and that they connected through his anti-woke high school debate organization. In the application for a protective order, she alleges they began a romantic relationship in 2022, when she was “still a minor.”" https://www.thebulwark.com/p/meet-the-first-groyper-politician-james-fishback
