Fortunately Han was able to bound across the weight room to perform a one handed assist with a center bar grip. Per Legends, this was more of a complete one handed clean and jerk from Chewbacca's peril.

pecs against the targetting and trigger array, the depth the seat allows him to ease back just isn't enough room for his lats.

The story behind Chewbacca's life debt to Solo makes more sense when you realize it stems from Chewie trying to ill advisedly put up his 1RM on the bench with a spotter 3/

Mulling what could have been had Lou Ferrigno not blown the Han Solo audition back in the 70s.

The original concept behind the much speculated red stripe down the side of Han's pants stemmed from casting's initial thinking that Han was an absolute deadlift beast, and needed his service pantlegs 1/

That PNP though, I tried to think of a most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never, ever possibly destroy us. Those cupcakes with the baseball icing on them.

There's actually some depth in the pnp, he wants to call balls and strikes *as the ball*. A Calvinist, if you will.

I get the method, how could a character with those slippers not have a SnokeScope for keeping an eye on the First Ordering going on around the rest of the ship and its surrondig space.

Even Andy Serkis couldn't convince Rian Johnson to let him say, "To my SnokeScope, through which I will monitor our pursuit of the Resistance evacuation." It's a pity because in TLJ the SnokeScope is consequentially just stuck like a gribble detail in the ceiling of the throne room set.

Every time Ken receives a comment he awakens in the hotel bed David Bowman woke up, having walked about the room in perpetetic pursuit of other epochs of his self, this time he just gazes at the ceiling or perhaps just a vertical boundary his mind cannot fathom beyond that abstract.

Is bsky rebranding as Blank Square?

Was going to say Black Square but forgot there was a Light color mode and when I checked it out, I was confronted with so many blank white squares where posters want some sort of nontext visual content my head Cream songed.

Not a physicist but I'm sensing meltdowns, and there's a gotta be a catalyst (also not a chemist).

But less we forget and (un)just allow a war over ginned up casus belli along the lines of freeing the world of Iranian meme tyranny:

Red Sox Nation isn't a nation either, in either a state or enthographic way, to put figurative language in perspective.

Absolutely. I meant more the QT was sort of inert broad siding endemic of a lot of "community" discourse. Of course the hashtag isn't a community, but there are communities within that space.

Though I think the take may be callous against the fact that online communities are a thing and do sometimes grow out of hobby or other avocational interest.

A Manifesto addressing the recent crop of manifesto writers as being the worst, most ineligible manifesto writers because of their failure to bridge their singular vanity, probably not the best basis for a manifesto, into something appealing to a common vision.

I think it's time we recognize that if we want to claim the Star Wars Galactic Republic/Empire is an analogy to the United States, while they have Niamos as their wedding and beach party jam, we have at best Sheppard's Geronimo but our equivalent actually might be that Chicken Dance polka thing. 1/

Some say G.I. Joe: the Movie premiered on this day in 1987. Imagine being introduced to Cobra-La and "once a man...." while enjoying the more general 4/20 holiday. You'd probably come out like Tunnel Rat did last time we see him in the movie's final battle.

"Foresight" is definitely one of those "I do not think it means what you think it means" self-highlighting word choice moments.

TFG probably thinks it's derived from foreskin and a more phallically forceful variant of "balls", which it ain't and he ain't got.

Obviously fiction and ttrpgs have a lot of overlap, but these two seem particularly on the nose with each other.

Keen on this having just learned about, first for the work itself, but also a presumably coincidental opportunity to side by side compare with The Gauntlet's Public Access Analog Horror Mystery TTRPG.
