We lost our pup this week. Our H-Dog. He joined us as a tiny ball of mayhem, mischief, and excitement and grew to be the most loving, kindest, and happiest boy we could ever know. He’s taken a piece of us all to be loved, cuddled, played with forever. We love you puppy. Good boy, Henry. Good boy. X

“Hi Bob, here’s a brown bag full of money.”

“I can’t see any money. All I see is a brown bag”

“The money is inside. Look, I’ll open it for you”

“But now it’s just an open brown bag. Where’s the money?”

“It’s inside”

“It doesn’t make any sense. Bring me something that looks like money.”

Has there been anything more disappointing than the Albo government’s dedication to Uncle Sam’s right buttock?

Now we’re even apologising because for our ambassador, an Australian PM no less, because he spoke the fucking truth.

My god when will Labor show some fucking spine.

So glad I’m not the only person struggling to find a reason for this book existing. A whole chapter detailing every day over a 3 week period that can be boiled down to “Insiders continue to live in denial”.
Shout out to Tapper’s inference that the Jan 6ers pardon was Biden’s fault.

Awesome view at the AFL game in Bunbury today.

Absolutely! Solo would have performed way better if they’d left it for the end of the year.

As a Star Wars fan I fucking hate the obvious special treatment given to Disney’s favourite child. Christmas had been a great place for Star Wars. Each of the films made $1b+. Iger’s irrational push to bring Star Wars back to May is what killed Solo in theatres.

Captain Wacky 💛❤️💙🤍 @dfarrik.bsky.social · May 23

So. I guess the biggest complaint about Dave Filoni is that he puts too many Star Wars things into his (checks notes) Star Wars stories.

The internet has killed rational thought.

HYPOTHETICAL: Disney announce they are mothballing Star Wars for the foreseeable future.

Do you still keep your Disney+ subscription?

What would be the fallout from independent and minor part voters if the teals formed a coalition with the Liberals?

Would you still support them or would they have sold out?

I don’t know. I reckon George Lucas would be fully into the opportunities AI presents to film-making.

I love how fast Lucasfilm can bungle its goodwill coming off of Andor. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Lucasfilm declares creative bankruptcy with an AI-generated Star Wars film that's just 2 minutes of mostly normal animals jumbled together

I've got a bad feeling about this.

The author of the article didn’t even bother to watch the TED. Bredow points out - several times - that this was just a proof of concept.

It’s like complaining animatics don’t look finished.

No shit!

Cassian: Cinta.

Vel: … and let’s not forget Aargrot the Leming, z’aargyhTh, Flim-Flam Zoot.

Cassian: Who the fuck are they?

Vel: I don’t know. Social media said it would make sense.

Appreciate your insight.

My only real problem with #Andor are all the pretentious assholes it has drawn out who now feel compelled to comment on #StarWars as a whole.

Did the author of this article actually watch the TED or was he already writing the inflammatory headline in his head.

Breddow clearly states several times that the movie was created quickly by a single artist as a proof of concept.

I more get pissed at the old fans. The ones who have come back to revisit Star Wars because of Andor but then use it as an opportunity to tear down the rest of the franchise.

Captain Wacky 💛❤️💙🤍 @dfarrik.bsky.social · May 18

I’ve found that most of the fans who want this don’t follow Star Wars anymore. Andor has rekindled their love and made the galaxy relevant again. But most of the rest of us are grateful to have such a wonderful series as a part of an already deep and rich collection.

Captain Wacky 💛❤️💙🤍 @dfarrik.bsky.social · May 18

That’s going to be hard to fit in when Lucasfilm announce her new show:

Hutt Slayer Kleya - a Star Wars Story

Captain Wacky 💛❤️💙🤍 @dfarrik.bsky.social · May 18

It’s not too bad. It kinda has all the same failings as the prequels. Little Leia is the highlight though.

Captain Wacky 💛❤️💙🤍 @dfarrik.bsky.social · May 18

Crazy. It’s like when I think about my wife and I in high school. She was a junior in year 8, I was a senior in year 12.

To clarify: We didn’t actually meet until we were both in our 20s.

Mando 1 & 2 and Skeleton Crew. Neither are at the same level as Andor but they’re both very Star Wars (in the traditional sense).

If you’re into animation, The Clone Wars (series) is also excellent.

Captain Wacky 💛❤️💙🤍 @dfarrik.bsky.social · May 17

I enjoy the irony of how Partagaz refers to disorder and chaos as a disease, yet the real cancer proves to be the ceaseless need for control. Smarter and cunning officers (Dedra, Blevin) eat each other for power. Ultimately, only bumbling incompetents are left to pick up the pieces.

I do hope in years to come fans will look back on Kathleen Kennedy’s role in this transition period and focus more on the positive impact she has had.
