YES!

Why yes, I did get a ton of tickets to the first Star Wars movie in theaters in seven years, why do you ask? Also: the clips and trailers have rocked. I simply cannot understand the urge to be cynical about Star Wars. It's a very sweet, fun, exciting story in a world that could use more lightness.

I feel exactly zero sympathy for Republicans who feel disenfranchised in Virginia. You voted for a man who attacked the US Capitol and then pardoned the entire violent mob. Go jump in a lake, dorks.

Hot, frankly.

Virginia! Today is the last day to vote in the redistricting referendum.

Make sure to vote YES.

It's crazy to me that Lucasfilm brought reporters in to watch the first fifteen minutes of The Mandalorian & Grogu as if to prove they made a movie. It's kind of the opposite of how Star Wars has been promoted for almost 50 years?

I continue to write about Maul.

It’s literally the angle they ran.

Funny: the audience loved watching a great wrestling match. Which is actual thing that's being sold to the people who are buying tickets. I hope WWE internalizes that on some level.

The WWE crowd apparently doesn’t know what “whoop that trick” means.

The psychology of this match is very confusing.

I don’t understand how they manage the match time. Everything feels like it ends in Act I.

Gunther retires John Cena and and Golberg and AJ Styles.

WWE Announcer: "Gunther has a lot to prove tonight."

What is life?

That cracked me up.

I haven't watched a WWE PPV for a while now, especially since they moved over to ESPN but I've never missed a Wrestlemania since 1987, so I'm watching this one.

The number of advertisements is...quite something. They know I'm paying to watch it, right?

"Just yet."

Man of the people.

The war is going so badly they're arguing with the fucking Pope.

Is it possible that the stock market rewards the wrong things?

I'm not a practicing Christian, but my father is an Episcopal Priest, so let me just say: it drives me crazy when Republicans are constantly identified as Christian while openly believing pretty much nothing related to actual Christianity. These. People. Are. Not. Christians.

Hunt for Gollum! Hell yeah!

The Mirror Has Two Faces Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord Chapter 3 "Whispers in the Dark" & Chapter 4 "Pride and Vengeance"

I wrote a little about droids and AI and Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord.

Trump's losing his war so he's bitching about the Pope.

So glad we sacrificed the the post-war world order and the security of our nation and the legitimacy of our democracy for this worthless celebrity.

I'm shocked - shocked! - that the Trump Administration has failed to reach a deal. It's almost like they have no cards, that they don't hold any cards?

The best advertisement for AEW right now is WWE.

I am cracking up.

Feels that way. Popular but actively shoring themselves in the foot.

This company is pretty revolting.
