Annie Lennox did what Sinead I Connor would have done.

Israel has a right to defend itself from Hamas, not women and children living under Hamas by no fault of their own.

Annie Lennox is a fucking Queen, period. 

Thank you, Ms. Lennox. Just one more reason to admire you.

The vice squeezing Palestinian Americans and their allies — Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, and plain old “regular” Americans who care about innocent human lives — is indescribable right now.

It’s fun watching them try to square this circle. They can’t talk about abortion anymore. The one thing they always had in their pocket as a sure fire way to motivate their base is gone. And they are only now discovering just how deeply unpopular these policies are because they never had to worry before Roe V Wade…

The follow-up stuff (Advent Children etc) was set directly afterward though, that post-credits scene in the original game was meant to be hundreds of years later.

I could see them then following up (if elected) with calls to ban porn in the state/country with “I have verifiable proof that people are mailing explicit sexual content to people without their consent”.

Whenever an article critical of NFTs was posted back in the day people would come out of the woodwork defending how valuable and revolutionary they would be and how you just “didn’t get it”. Where are those people now?

It’s so weird whenever I see any notable capitalist say they’re a fan of anything cyberpunk-related. Like, you know the genre is a criticism of you, right? You’re the bad guy. The genre’s raison d’être is to point out how the closest thing to true evil that exists in our world is unimaginably wealthy businessmen who…

I’ve always thought war fatigue must have been a huge factor. The Clone Wars, followed by the subjugation of Empire and the Galactic Civil War, represented almost thirty years of continuous conflict, including multiple planetary genocides. I could easily see the populations of the Core Worlds saying, “You know what?…

The New Republic needed to be less League of Nations, and more post-WWII and post-Cold War United States; an all-conquering hyper-power whose very presence was historically stabilizing as compared to the absolute chaos and bloodshed of the previous “multi-polar” world. 

A big element of the New Republic’s failing was not “centrism;” it was ideological pacifism. The lesson it took from the Republic turn to the Empire was “militaries are bad,” and therefore unarmed itself.

Legends canon is essentially cryptofascist in it’s depiction of the fall of the NR that culminated in the Yuuzhan Vong War. The big reveal in that plot was that Thrawn and Palpatine had some knowledge of the Vong and everything the empire did was in preparation for the apocolyptic invasion they knew was coming. At…

I’ve never heard of this person, but I just assume all parenting influencers are abusing their children.

insult[s] the massive community that considers Andrew Tate a life changing positive force

I’m sorry, but none of them look even a little bit like Marlon Brando.

On the contrary, I think Filoni’s goal is to do an end-run around the ST and find ways to walk back a lot of the dumb shit that Abrams came up with.

The “Master race” indeed.
