If you chart out mass shootings (4+ per incident) on a map, over the past ten years there is a nice little cluster of them within 30 miles of my house. The last time I checked, I had physically visited almost half of those locations over that time frame. Sutherland Springs is one of them.

This country has fetishized alcohol to the point of absurdity. A few weeks ago a Coors Light commercial came on the radio, voiced by Kirk Herbstreit, (of ESPN fame), encouraging people to drink super early on Saturday because of football.

I’ve tried this, but in the end I just enjoy a few beers more than getting high. I find myself not really relaxing, and getting pretty deep in though after pot (no matter what the strain). Sometimes I wind up anxious or paranoid.... but not every time, it just depends on my mindset. It affects everyone differently,…

“The IRS is focusing its audit resources on areas where it knows clients are traditionally noncompliant: small businesses, international clients, high-wealth clients, and possible Earned Income Tax Credit fraud schemes.”

Fortunately Brett Kavanaugh’s railroaded appointment is the single example of lack of accountability, oligarchy, and corruption that happened in the last twenty years.

Did they add in the ten minute shot of Han just walking around Jabba and stepping on his tail?

Greedo starts to say a thing that alerts Han to the fact that he’s about to shoot, so Han starts to shoot, and they end up shooting at the same time. Thus, it wasn’t murder.

“This, of course, is bullshit. Han shot first.”

*If his then wife didn’t keep tinkering. My understanding is that she completely saved A New Hope in the edit.

I look forward to the inevitable version where Han doesn’t fire at all and Greedo’s shot just ricochets around the cantina until it kills him.

This needs more stars

Yep. Han isn’t a straight up bad guy at the start of the movie, but he’s definitely not great and is out for himself.

It seems to me that the “why” is obvious: it justifies Han shooting at Greedo with the intent to kill him because now it’s self defense. Greedo starts to say a thing that alerts Han to the fact that he’s about to shoot, so Han starts to shoot, and they end up shooting at the same time. Thus, it wasn’t murder.

Luckily most Star Wars fans are easy going chaps, and don’t mind a touch up here or there to established canon.

Looking forward to each subsequent re-release modifying this scene, until it’s expanded to the point where it warrants its own full movie.

it’s rodese for “ok boomer”
