Thats pretty impressive, since he wrote it as a Star Wars movie and just changed some names in Microsoft Word after Lucasfilm turned him down. 

Perhaps a double play? She was my first thought, then Janice Goblin right after

Yep--that’s my guess, too.

“Or maybe Snyder is just a nice, cool guy and the people who know him have a lot of respect for him, and we should be less snarky about him and everything he does? Maybe that can be our resolution for 2024.”

What’s funny is this was true back in the Old Who days but it…

I grew up in Chicago, and I remember an article in the Sun Times about the Hannukah song. Someone at the Sun Times, in their infinite wisdom, decided to interview a Neo-Nazi, who said the song was a good shortlist for which celebrities were Jews.

Just a reminder that the news media has been like “And what do the…
