If Elon Musk was really funding this lawsuit in the name of free speech (and I know, we all know he’s not, just humor me for a second), pick a random fucking nobody who was let go because of what they wrote on Twitter, not an entertainer who presumably had a fanbase before she even launched her acting career that she…

I’m okay with missing out.

In 2013, IGN was purchased by media company Ziff Davis. The website has since grown into the biggest video game outlet in the world and one of the most popular entertainment sites on the internet, with over 470 million monthly visitors in December 2023 alone.

Palpatine is Rey’s ancestor, and he’s Pretty Famous, but yes, my entire point is that even before TROS added that to her backstory, a hero coming from nowhere was not new to Star Wars.

I never said there wasn’t anything special about him. There absolutely was, but of all the sentient beings on all of the planets in the Galaxy, the Force sired a nobody on a (for the purpose of the story) nowhere planet. Had Qui-Gon Jinn not stumbled into him, he never would have even learned about the prophecy.

So I guess I’m lucky I never tried that myself.

Bunch of prudes over at Apple.

He literally murdered children. Granted, it fits your criteria for something we didn’t see on-screen, but it’s confirmed in the movie through dialogue. Plus, if we go by what’s in the expanded universe in regard to Jedi having wives, then we should include all of the EU heroes that came from anywhere.

I provided other examples as well, but I appreciate the note.

The one without a famous ancestor who came from a desert planet? Yeah. He was literally a nobody from nowhere that turned out to be Really Important.

she noted that the idea that “you can be a hero and not come from anywhere” (from The Last Jedi) and “you can be a hero and come from literally the worst person in the universe” (from Rise Of Skywalker) are both “interesting”

I WROTE A COMMENT, IT AINT THAT BIG A DEAL

I agree with you about that article conveniently omitting any death threats Cawthorn and his family have received. A lie of omission is still a lie, and I agree that it paints a narrative that suggests either only certain groups receive death threats or that only certain death threats should be denounced.

This is one of the strongest season openings for Curb in a while, IMO. The improv among some of the day players is still lacking; I forgot which character it was (might’ve been the maid; maybe it was Carl) but they just repeated back whatever Larry said, and that’s been one of the biggest things that bothers me about…

Where’s the hate? This piece is just pointing out that the number two “movie” at the box office this weekend was actually three episodes of a TV show.

How do you survive making a $200 million action-comedy and having it only bring in $6.5 million on opening day?

even if he is racist no one should give a fuck because he is a comedian making jokes.

Huh? They (or at least some of them) probably were. I’ve absolutely seen people who were social outcasts as kids/teens take away the wrong lessons and lash out at others in their adult lives. Hurt people hurt people and all that.

Why?
