Realizing I now gotta get back to my schoolwork

First arc of Andor season 2: kind of mid?

How did we get from "Do not use Wikipedia as a source" to "ask hallucinating chatbot everything"?

ANDOR DAY IS UPON US

Internet Archive has been mirroring ERIC for years: archive.org/details/eric...

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Hegseth: Yo watching Andor tonite? Hegseth: You Me: dunno, maybe Hegseth: Looks pretty cool Hegseth: If you liked the first season Hegseth: Thinking about doing something like that in Yemen Me: Like what? Hegseth: Star Wars Me: okay

Doing this episode on Easter was a CHOICE lmaooooo 😭😭😭

Gobble gobble I guess :(

Gonna be a long season for Rays fans

Stuff like this is very funny until I remember that these same kinds of models are being used to determine if people get chemo.

What a gift to revisit this masterpiece.

andor episode 8

JESUS CHRIST (ninth hour): Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? GOOFY (present at the crucifixion): Gawrsh

Andor is a stone-cold masterpiece.

Rewatching Andor for like the fourth time and still marveling at how good it is. Just a mesmerizing show from start to finish that just so happens to be a Star Wars spinoff of a spinoff

fun historical fact: among the core political forces in the development of mass incarceration was the "Victims' Rights Movement". Its first major legislative national legislative victory was under President Reagan. The prison population doubled under his administration.

i am going to Lose My Fucking Mind if the seed crystal for an antifascist general strike ends up being david fucking brooks

sigh.
