One of the brief hopeful moments of the 2024 election was Walz dropping the politics by committee speak and calling the right âWeird.â Stop being cowards and call them weird, call them fascists, call them losers, call them sex predators.

Yeah Newsom is a central casting b-movie president / psychopath who removed unhoused people encampments himselfâŚbut i think the take away right now is we need more lib/left-leaning leaders bullying the absolute fuck out of fascist dorks cosplaying as nazis

Shout out to the on the ground teams actually standing up and putting bodies on the line in front of ICE and Nat. Guard, Marines and cops. If anything, these avg citizens are the ones that made the occupation untenable and uncomfortable enough for Nat. Guard and Marines to pull out.

Iâm sure thereâs creative ways for states to throw a stick in the bike spokes of militarized occupation. Just need governor and mayor with the gumption to do more than tweet and go on podcasts.

The Ghorman Massacre showed how justified protests are exploited and provoked to give cause for crackdowns and brutality. Now we have another real world example playing out in LA with coordinated ICE kidnappings leading to justified protests, leading to Nat. Guard and Marines in the streets.

Yes! I think it got ignored a bit since it didnât have a lot of connective tissue to mainline characters (and didnât have the backlash/drama like acolyte) but it was a great Goonies-style series and had some cool implications for the lore.

Weâre lucky we got him in any capacity and better off that he ignored a lot of in universe material that would only drag down the story he wanted to tell. And he shouldnât need to walk on eggshells when the questions around canon are brought up

If youâve spent anytime around Star Wars IP the past 30 yrs, you know itâs a minefield. And it turns off decent creators/directors from playing in the sandbox if they will get hate mail for not shipping 2 established fan characters or getting glib shittoâs birthday right.

So much of the BlueSky discourse around Gilroyâs attitude around other Star Wars media comes down to âbut he didnât need to be so mean about it! đ¤â

One thing that doesnt get discussed enough is I canât recommend Ahsoka, Bad Batch, Tales, Clone Wars, later Mando seasons etc to my parents who arenât already deep in lore. Andor, S Crew, Acolyte i could easily recommend without homework assignments. Needs to be remembered for future of Star Wars.

And Iâm not being ableist either, those with disabilities know their limits and act accordingly, whereas if youâre super old to the point of confusion/sundowning, you shouldnât be in charge of passing bills that will affect citizens long after youâre gone (and youâll be gone soon anyways)

May not make many friends on Bluesky with this take, but I think Star Wars characters should stay dead when they die and leave legends in the dustbin. Also forgot Palps, Chewie, and 3P0 in Rise Of Skywalker

The beautiful thing about going from #Andor, to Rogue One, to the original Star Wars movie, is that we move from the super serious stuff to the hope and whimsy of the very first movie. We go from Luthen debating war games to us going âDamn, Luke is such a cool twink & those funny Jawas are great!â
