"Meetings in person. Coordinates attached." The Empire does NOT want you to find a copy of THE MASK OF FEAR. To resist, we hid free one hardcover copy at several Little Free Library locations across the country. Participating locations: t.co/vtj4gf4KXp

5 year moratorium on any live-action or animated series that takes place within 25 years of an existing series. EXCEPTION: An animated series during the saga timeline will be permitted on the condition that 90% of episodes take place inside the Unknown Regions or Wild Space.

I was today years old when I noticed that, in "A New Hope," Obi-Wan says to Luke, "I was a Jedi Knight just like your father" and Luke... no-sells that statement? So he already knew that his father was a Jedi? That doesn't strike me as something Owen would've let him know.

Bitch you are the government.

He's been talking about this for like a week now. There's no logical reason to not have gone already and be done with the ridiculous speculation if this is such a major concern for him.

What's "going to happen" for which military lawyers will be a "roadblock?"

The US government is now nonstop performative idiocracy.

Age yourself with a movie you see in the theater.

How many plane crashes have there been since Pete left the office? 🤔

The lawsuits from this are going to be incredible.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

This is how it’s done.

Trump visibly rattled by a Republican governor just because she says she's going to comply with the law really tells you all you need to know about what he's asking.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

I legitimately can't. If they finagle the rules to make this a thing that could actually happen I will legitimately start doing whatever the hell it takes to move to and become a citizen of almost literally ANY other nation on this planet.

Wasn't this an episode of Geraldo?

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

Flipped past AEW this evening and um... Why do they have the hard camera pointing at the entrance? And why is the entrance like connected to the ring? It really gives it an empty arena feel.

and for the record an awful lot of Americans would side with and die defending Canada in any war between our two nations

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

It's Trump's fourth week on the job and he's already taking a week-long vacation in Florida. Tell me more about how nobody gets anything done when they work from home.

Finished Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss and... it was alright. I was excited for it and it was a bit of a let down. I'm not entirely sure why it was a Mace Windu book? Could've just as easily been a Kit Fisto or Plo Koon or Obi Wan story with only minimal changes made to the overall plot.

Here’s the pitch: They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident! It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY! Need a title.

Wait. Hold up. In... In what world is it a "standard practice" to fire workers just to see which ones are actually needed so that just those ones can be rehired???

Yes, we will definitely be driving this summer.

A Delta flight carrying ~80 passengers from Minnesota appears to have crash landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. No casualties reported as of this time. Numerous photos and videos have been released showing passengers safely exiting the plane, which flipped upside down. At least 8 people injured.

Anyone else have mixed emotions during the national anthem at events lately?

Winter hiking is the best hiking. 📍Indian Well State Park (Shelton, CT)

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

Planning out our road trip to Universal, which includes a total of 6 stops at NPS sites between the there and back, and are now worried that many of them might be closed by the time we get to summer.

Egg prices weren't outlined in the Project 2025 handbook and so he doesn't have any intention of addressing them. He'll make no action and just keep blaming the price on Biden and his minions will nod enthusiastically.

A conjunction of news: 1) Deadly storms sweep through the South, leaving at least nine fatalities. 2) Trump Ends Climate Work Inside Agency That Responds to Disasters www.npr.org/2025/02/16/n... & www.msn.com/en-us/politi...

It’s quite clear by now that the answer to “why is the Trump administration doing x terrible thing?” is that they are *trying* to dismantle America and destabilize the entire world.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

we are all going to die

The Trump administration has just announced that all college financial aid programs, scholarships, prizes, housing, and graduation ceremonies that help Black or Latino students are now considered to be illegal. The Education Department accuses colleges of discriminating against white students.
