Just seen the script for Disney’s Andor remaster:

Cassian gazes up at the enormous face of Palpatine. Two gin-scented tears trickle down the sides of his nose. But it’s all right, everything is all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved the Galactic Empire.

All the early reporting I saw about the murder of Jonathan Joss (an actor) implied it was an argument with a neighbor. I mean, it was, in the same way that the explosion of Krakatoa was "a bit of noise." More information:

Its a widespread problem and I'm sure the rest of librarian bluesky has already posted about it, but meh. Just so you're aware: www.denverpost.com/2025/05/25/d...
Rising popularity, cost of e-books forces some Colorado libraries to limit access

You don't dehumanize someone because you think that they are less than human. You do it to convince yourself you can treat them inhumanely.

The library will come out and say it: We are NOT Satanists.

The weak ass "dark lord" couldn't handle our s**t. If there's a hell, it's this pit of despair, computers, and books we call a library.

Call down the thunder by coming for us, motherf**kers. Miss Rachel ain't got s**t on us.

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

Bezos killed the Post’s Kamala endorsement and caved on tariffs as soon as Trump commented. Imagine being that rich and still being such a sniveling coward.

When's the last time President Trump actually bought eggs?

I dunno if this would be legal, but legality is almost gone anyway. The Courts should charge Donald Trump's personal accounts $10k a day per person until we get people wrongfully detained to El Salvador back. Take it right out of his accounts. I bet he'd find a way to get them back.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.
Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People
It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.
