I’m in the grays here, so no one will see this, and maybe it’s for the better because I hate this smell. Hate it, hate it, HATE. IT!

DeSantis may have proved himself an unreliable commodity with the Disney feud, though. He’s demonstrated that he will 100% turn against any donor with the full force of his office (and then some) if he thinks it’s worth the potential updoots from his base. There are more reliable presidential candidates out there who…

A year ago, I was legit terrified of DeSantis becoming president in 2024, but his determination to go hard right on culture-war issues while making embarrassing gubernatorial gaffes make him seem way less competent as a national candidate.

Speaking of Senators who probably don’t want to draw too much attention to their own age:

This is like if the crew of Star Trek Voyager made their way back to Earth at the end of the second season, and then they were just hanging around processing that time they got lost in the Delta Quadrant.

I believe that’s what Gandhi said shortly before launching the nukes.

I guess the difference was that seasons 1 and 2 were about Grogu—getting him away from the Empire and then finding the Jedi—and season 3...isn’t. Which shouldn’t be a problem. If anything, it reinforces that his role on the show has always been to provide the cute factor and occasionally save the day with the Force.

Yeah, there’s only so much they can do with Grogu before they have to let him go (not an option—he’s too popular), age him up (impractical without a time jump, possibly ruins the cuteness), or let him fade into the background.

#1 on that list is the Sun Crusher, I hope.

So Gideon pretty much has to die next week, right?

Maybe they’ll do one Grogu flashback per season. They did one in Book of Boba Fett and another here.

I’m really enjoying Bo Katan’s greater focus in this season. The show is called “The Mandalorian,” not “Din Djarin.” No reason they can’t switch up who the Mandalorian is from time to time.

Republicans and news media (particularly local news stations looking for eyeballs for the 5 o’clock newcast) have largely succeeded in convincing Americans—even moderate and a lot of left leaning ones— that crime is worse than ever and your kid isn’t safe walking a quarter mile from the nearest bus stop, even though…

Disappointing. TLJ was a striking movie and I would’ve loved to see more in that vein. I get it, though. A trilogy would be like a decade of the man’s career that could be better spent making original projects without built-in legions of easy- to-upset fanboys.

The Star Wars galaxy has amazing skin rejuvenation technology as long as your name isn’t Obi-Wan Kenobi (see: Bo-Katan on The Mandalorian).

I feel a minor disturbance in the Force, as if a million neckbeards screamed out in impotent rage.

We all turn into our parents if we’re not careful.

The latest victim of this treatment is The Little Mermaid, which has apparently seen some songs rewritten to be a better example for young girlbosses everywhere.

It’s Fey’s handling of Glover’s hiring that is at issue here, not his hiring in the first place.

The electoral process has always been flawed. That doesn’t negate the importance of voting in every election for the most qualified candidates you can find.
