As a pretty satisfied MitID user, it's concerning how much this misrepresents the differences and concerns around the UK proposals.

if you need an example of how the UK has fallen to enshittification, look at broadband pricing.
Being offered £54 a month for 100 Mb service because we are moving abroad and can't stay for a 2 year contract.
in Denmark, paying 199kr (£23) for 1000 Mb service, no minimum term contract.

According to Wookiepedia, there's a smattering of Tales episodes following the Bad Batch. The Asajj Ventress arc probably better fits between Bad Batch s3 episodes 8&9. It does contain a bit of weirdness. Ventress was killed in a book called Dark Disciple, where...

It's a good show. The first episode feels very "pilot episode"-ey in that there's some annoying character and tone issues that get resolved by episode 2. And ultimately, what's not to like about the A-Team surviving...

CAN you watch Revenge of the Sith intercut with the contemporaneous scenes from the Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, Tales of the Empire, and Tales of the Jedi, making a 4+ hour epic?
Sure can!
Should you?

My chronological viewing of Star Wars has reached Clone Wars Season 5. This is probably the most important season. Essentially every significant idea or character that survived past the series comes from Season 5.

And the Star Wars chronological marathon advances to Clone Wars Season 4.
The first half is a clear leap forward visually, and the writing within some of the stories is really great. The Pong Krell arc for example is really gripping.

So the Star Wars timeline watch marathon has reached the second half of Clone Wars season 3, and boy do I have thoughts.
A general issue with seasons 1 and 2 is that they are basically gap-filling. Without the show, we know (without being shown) that the Jedi and the Clone army get into a...

Continuing my marathon...The first half of Clone Wars season 3 gets off to a relatively weak start. The season is a fan favourite, but I think mostly for the latter half.

There's a marked jump up in quality. This is most evident in the move to longer story arcs which feel like they are contributing to an advancing story. Rather than making 5 samey episodes where roughly..

I've decided to embark on a chronological watching of the entire Star Wars canon...so yeah, here goes that. I started with a binge last night. I'm interested to see how my impressions of characters change when the side material is put in a timeline.

While clearing out my attic in the UK I located my bag of Britain Stronger in Europe pro-Remain swag, much of which we weren't allowed to distribute due to election regulations (so we didn't).

About to see a band I first saw live 15 years ago. My favourite album of theirs came out 20 years ago.
Reflecting on the fact that when I was a teenager, my dad's hopelessly lame, dated, dad rock was about 15 years old.

Difficult to explain to some colleagues why I've been spending much of the day "mentally preparing to be two very different evil women".

I think the map is pretty much done now. I just need to add some extra background elements and I'll probably make an accompanying video about the timeline of SC maps before I release it properly.

I've been working on a map of the verse based on Jump Distance from Star Citizen 1.0 systems. I originally did a cloverleaf design but it didn't look nice, so I took it back to basics today, and it's nearly there.
