George Lucas has made a lot of Star Wars films, but this one is the *most* Star Wars, for better and for worse. It's him laying his cards on the table in a way that every subsequent project has had to navigate around. Fascinating film

Biden, Blinken & Austin Accused of Complicity in Israeli War Crimes in Gaza; ICC Urged to Investigate

In The Age today. If you can't get the editorial parts of the paper to acknowledge this reality, at least you can buy an ad.

Note that official government entities are now using the American Nazi Party slogan.

A U.S. group has filed a request urging the International Criminal Court to open an investigation into Biden and key members of his administration for their role in “aiding and abetting” Israel’s alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

If you think this is shameful, but you were okay with the U.S. vetoing a ceasefire during a genocide 4 times in row, you don't have a moral compass, you just have white supremacist interests

Insanely bad politics here. Just ceding like 95% of the turf to Trumpmusk. Reminds me of 20 years ago “sure we should illegally invade Iraq, but let’s do it smarter.” [aristocrats voice] The Democrats!!

I will say to the people who are excited about the AI bubble popping: if i am correct (nothing I say is financial advice) it will ravage the markets in a way that will hurt just about everybody. It won't just hit tech. Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai and Mark Zuckerberg must be held responsible.

Democrats should be in rural and red areas right now. Talk to the folks and tell them who is hurting them. Right now. We are missing a massive opportunity…trust me on this. Get out here.

Pod Save America brought on Bill Maher to spew easily disproven anti-trans talking points. They keep saying they’re not anti-trans and trying to walk back statements they make. I have offered to go on their show to talk. I’m offering again now. Talk to a freaking trans person.

This is not what most Americans want. This is a small group of criminals and their oligarch supporters who lied to the American public to get into this position, and go on a rampage to destroy this country’s credibility on behalf of the nation’s enemies.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Mighty Mighty War Crimes.

Something I find very interesting about the Gunn/Safran team's management style -- as presented here, at least -- is how open they are about the inevitable pivots and roadblocks these IP projects hit, as well as their desire to start from completed scripts rather than set a premier date and hope

One of those just periodic reminders: the social contract only works if people and society enforce it against those who are acting to undermine and destroy it.

Lol John Oliver set up a how-to guide for how to make Meta make less ad $$$ from you. johnoliverwantsyourraterotica.com

Commentary: Dual-use of land for solar and farming isn't just a win-win in Ohio. Communities win. Landowners win. Those who want to keep farmland for food and grazing win. And future generations win with clean, renewable energy. It's a win-win-win-win.

"I don't believe one-fifth of Germans are fascist/racist/any other -ist" Yeah it's absurd to believe that Germany could possibly go fash. There's just no precedent

It's so medically tragic how former presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden all simultaneously lost the power of speech at the exact moment America collapsed into fascism

The people making the decision to cut USAid probably have no idea what damage they are doing. Even if they did, they wouldn't care because in their transactional world, America First means others have to lose. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Trump's appeal is very similar to that of a stand-up comedian. he violates social norms and always says the shit his voters are thinking. their fanatic loyalty comes from the fact that he created space for them to be more honest without fear of consequence. they will love him forever over that.

Centrists are having a hard time grappling with actual Nazism because for the first time they have to acknowledge they are halfway between Nazism and Freedom.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Young men are not radicalizing towards the far right as though it were something unusual about young men, the far right *is all that remains of the right*. There is no universe where a young conservative man doesn’t marinate in pure 4chan derangement.

social media needs to be regulated and treated very much like we currently treat drugs. that's long term. in the immediate term? focus on the 75% of men who aren't voting for fascists. you will have more luck reaching and organizing them than deradicalizing Andrew Tate fans.

I'm don't think the data supports that the global far-right is radicalizing "almost exclusively young men". The global far right is recruiting large numbers of men and women in the 30-65 age bracket. The reason young men stand out in analysis is because young women are the ONLY group moving left.

PBS Newshour gave a twelve minute interview to Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who has called for the “eradication” of trans people from society

In 2017, centrists and liberals told antifascist activists that the institutions would hold and the State would preserve basic democratic rights. Now the country is being hollowed out by literal billionaires making Hitler salutes. This should be on the cover of every newspaper.

A new DC/Marvel crossover in the year of our lord 2025?

Spoiler: The glue is failing in freezing weather. Because they used glue on the Cybertruck.

from @queerchameleon.bsky.social (I think!)

ComicsPRO '25: Marvel & DC to crossover again later in a pair of one-shots this year

Malcolm X was assassinated 60 yrs ago today. See his timeless wisdom on the true meaning of “progress.” “If you stick a knife 9 inches in & take it out 6—that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound. They wont even admit the knife is there.”

Ask anyone even remotely non-white

Humans: smart enough to create vaccines, stupid enough not to use them.

for all the ways the United States of America have made the world a palpably worse place to live for billions and billions of human beings, the USPS is such a triumph of organization and people barely see it or think about it you *have* to save the USPS

If I say that because I'm Jewish it's extra important to OPPOSE a genocide done in my name, I'm told that my Jewishness is irrelevant, or I'm a traitor, or that I risk undermining other Jews' support for Democrats, or that I need to focus on other issues first.

I wanted democrats to win. I begged them to adopt popular, progressive policies that would move the needle so they could win. Democrats doubled down on being the party of the status quo. That is a losing campaign, every time. You want people to turn out, you have to sell them on something.

I know we know that Trump voters are the dumbest people in the world but god damn
