Lucasfilm does have it’s Feige. His name is Dave Filoni. But it sounds like, outside of his animation projects, the politics of that company do their best to steer him clear of the live action side of things. The guy has a pretty clear head about canon and he’s extended it quite well through his animation projects.

To everyone claiming previous Star Wars had notoriously bad writing: Writing and dialogue aren’t the same thing. Star Wars is full of terrible dialogue and corny exposition (maybe purposely so), but good writing includes plot, structure, themes, characters and world building and I’d say the original trilogy is good in…

So you’re saying bring back vehicles that sold in small quantities and were considered niche in their day, and are niche now, and Mazda will do better?

Yea seriously. What the fuck. Jezebel and Root are the last Political sites left - Gizmodo has never been Vallywag and never would want to be, and Earther has always been left-wing climate denial: “Here’s one crazy thing scientists have figured out to pull carbon out of the atmosphere!”

Why are any of these sites even publishing right now, though? Changing your avatar without materially standing in solidarity with your Union comrades against management is vapid, performative bullshit. God, if you’ve gotta churn out content, at least comment on what’s happening (or not-comment, a la yesterday’s…

Both Xavi and Pep Guardiola—former Barcelona players, Catalans, and outspoken supporters of the referendum on the issue of Catalan independence—voiced their anger at the situation this week. Xavi called the prison sentences “shameful,” while Guardiola said “Spain lives in an authoritarian drift in which…

Just like with any All-Star snub, if you think you deserve to be playing, you need to tell us who you would replace. And if you say “Lavelle,” because she’s young and took your spot, you can go straight to hell.

In general, I’m not in favor of make up calls because most applications of them will leave the ump’s fingerprint on the game, even if just subtly.

lol fuck out of here with a reasonable take that doesn’t jump to an extreme character judgment

Eh, posting things to a locked, private social media account restricted to trusted friends and family is not meaningfully different from sending an email to a private mailing list, or just talking to a group of close associates around a dinner table. It’s fine to expect those people to keep what they hear private, and…

Well thank god you’re not a celebrity, life would be so boring.

As a white man I do not feel outraged, just confused.

The fuck is up with that headline?
