I would say just decrease the size of D.C. to the governmental lands and buildings. All housing should go to Virginia and/or Maryland so all the people who lived in D.C. get their voting rights. No need for extra senators.

The joke is that we stood up an entire service branch for a mission that the Army’s Space and Missile Defense Command and Air Force were already doing quite well. Instead of creating an entire service, we could have simply ordered the Air Force and Army to beef up their respective space components and give Space…

Space Command still exists, and it’s not Air Force (though you are right that Air Force has space in its wheelhouse). It’s a joint combat control, and the Army contributes the largest presence. It’s also not going anywhere. The joint force will still use Space Command, and the Space Force will focus on communications…

Space is cool and all, but it’s not a good place for humans.

Is it just me, or does Guardians of Heritage & Culture feel a little right-y militia?

but they’ve always done that.  Boba Fett was nothing.  Darth Maul got killed so quickly.  Lando was throw away.  the entire universe is stuff to be revisited later if the fans beg for it.

reminds me of Darth Maul too though. was a cool bad guy and cut in half at his first appearance right?

The other thing to note here is that this type of speed is not sustainable or scalable. You can’t have everyone working flat out like this all the time or process everything like this, but when it is really important, you can pull out all the roadblocks.

If they don’t use this as an excuse to have a talking Salem they have failed.

I understand the reason behind your sensitivity—and I’m truly sorry that you’re facing this—but this post is written primarily within the context of the situation in which it is an option. If it’s not an option for you, that is absolutely a difficult thing. The same way some people get to decide how small they keep…

Yeah as a trans person I’m gonna have to vote a big no on this one. Need a lot more than 10K to make it worth it.

Final shot of the season: Mando hands Baby Yoda to Ahsoka; she pauses briefly, then chucks BY over her shoulder and walks away.

Same. The context was that they were important, so if there was a lesson towards this egg-eating subplot, then this would be a whole different story, but there wasn’t.

YUP. I’m not clutching my pearls at the idea of poor little froggy babies, but it was just tonally...weird. Like they set up the importance of the eggs, then he’s popping them like pez and there’s...no tension to it, and tension’s kinda necessary for tragedy and comedy.

Exactly where I’m at. I don’t mind the idea of Baby Yoda doing shit like this if it’s funny, but in this case the show is both telling us how crucial these eggs are and also trying to wring laughs instead of drama out of destroying them. It tonally doesn’t work at all.

I made my thoughts known in the comment section regarding the episode in question.

Only hack writers make him one-note. Bastion tried to get him to print incriminating files on mutants. Triple J burnt the disc with his cigar in front of him & doubled down his investigation into operation Zero Tolerance.

Batman would advocate for the billionaire class.

I’ve heard of some families who are creating their own homeschooling “pods” to either facilitate the learning themselves (taking turns) or hire someone else to teach them to better limit exposure and more easily distance. I don’t think it’s typically common at all, but I suspect it’s something people will look into,…
