As a genre movie, I'm much more impressed with them getting the vibes of the lore correct than having Jen Erso make sense as a character. A+ 5/5!

Rogue One made Vader a villain again. It also is the prequel that vibes most with how you'd expect Jedi and the force to be treated if the original trilogy was all you had to go by. That's enough to elevate it for me, no matter how obviously messy and stitched together the film obviously is.

Back in '84 when I saw Crockett & Tubbs as the law
These eyes got big when they televised that raw
My mama should've seen it comin'
Me runnin' up and down the stairs too quick
Hummin' Miami Vice theme music
Calderone made me colder
I see the villains' impact, now that I'm older

To give the younger people some credit, the Clone Wars show does a lot of heavy lifting to elevate the prequel era of star wars into nostalgia. As an old man though, I hate the prequels with a passion and hope Andor and Rogue One recalibrate everyone's ideas of how things should have went.

Yeah, but political will and logistics doesn't have cool youtube influencers talking about how delta force could take over Mexico by themselves.

Really hard to enforce policy when you aren't paying people. They got about 3 weeks before they really see just how far IOUs can pay for loyalty.

The air traffic academy instructors are almost all contract and all retired military/FAA controllers. Those guys are laid off during a shutdown and after a long shutdown they don't always comeback. So academy reopens but at usually half the capacity until they can get new bodies.

Call his bluff. Hard to fire people when the people that do hiring and firing are furloughed.

I was a bit unclear. I mean to say that not soaking your beans makes consistency harder.

This is one thing I've never tried. I don't consider soaking beans and necessity but I do think it makes consistency harder. Your cook time changes (which changes the amount of liquid) and the beans seem to not cook evenly. Brining thing has been something I've been meaning to try for a while though

I know its considered clunky writing but I am a sucker for main character narration in a movie.

Awareness matters. That article is circa 2015. After, you get Insecure in 2016, Lovecraft Country in 2020. Watchmen in 2019. A True Detective with Marshala Ali as co lead etc.

The upside is that the epstein stuff is wholly memeified and mainstream media is inconsequential on it. You cant talk everyone out of "Epstein didn't kill himself." They can say all they want about the smear and attacks, but they aren't getting past what's already in the zeigeist about the subject

There's lots of overlaps. Antisemitism mixes with hatred of Hollywood and elites. The homophobes and antichoicers get a renewed moral crusade. The crazy thing is that the Q stuff just happened to get out in front of the Trump-epstein connection before the mainstream media knew to start asking ?'s.

Truthiness transitioned to being "vibes." In the meantime it lost all sense of sarcasm and irony, now media talking heads take "feels like it could be right" over being right. Hell, its exactly how AI is so insidious.

Push just talking about whipping crack in pyrex in the classiest way possible.
Even Tyler the creator was getting in on the action. My man said "Push move dirty white like mosh pits"

Really great work. Awesome read. It articulated something we all felt in a very concrete way. I feel bad saying I dont think I've ever read you, but you have a new fan.
