Something cool I noticed Andor (the show, not Cass) do last night. Heads up: this thread contains spoilers for Andor, Season 2, Episodes 11 and 12. They aren't big important spoilers, but still. You have been warned.

Watching Poker Face for the first time, and I've started singing my own theme song for the show. It's to the tune -- obviously -- Super Freak by Rick James. "She's a Poker Face, Poker Face, she's Poker Facey, yeah"

E. Coli has the chance to do the funniest thing

His name is Leo and he rules the Vatican Just like his predecessors from the Lateran Spent most of his career an Augustinian Oh Leo, Leo you hail from Chicagoland

Aw hell yeah #EuropaUniversalisV. I look forward to pretending to have a country with an honorable reputation, a stab score north of 0, and ruler with at least a 2 in diplomacy.

Sittin' in the conclave, thinkin' it's a drag Listenin' to the ballot count just ain't my bag By the vespers ring, you know it's my cue I'm gonna meet the boys on floor number two

It's May the Fourth, so you know that that means.... BATMAN THEORY TIME: Dark Knight Joker Edition I have an origin theory. Not a 'how he got those scars' origin theory, but a theory about who, at bottom, Heath Ledger's Joker was and where he came from. Spoilers The Dark Knight.

Re LRT: It's somewhat debatable, but I think while the main substance of today's fascism is misogyny and racism that far predate 9/11, the GwoT provided a space for raging bigots to be treated as 'respectable' voices, and of course was the outward trajectory for our 21st Century imperial boomerang.

America's deep hatred of Islam, Muslims and especially Palestinians is directly responsible for our descent into fascism today inside the US. Letting this bigotry fester openly since 9/11 brought us here.

Eth was frightfully jealous of Mr. Mxyzptlk.

Sparing a thought for the musicians (and all others) who will be working in Ireland at pubs that attract tourists, and how mightily tired they will be of The Rocky Road to Dublin by summer's end. Coinnigh do mhisneach.

Time for some more Andorposting. This show has a challenge coming up, and I'm curious how they address it. So far, the show has been extremely grounded and divorced from the more space fantasy elements of the franchise. No Jedi, no Skywalkers, almost no movie characters except for Rogue One.

Toves these days. Barely slithy at all.
