While Billy Dee is still alive, I think they really need to do a Lando movie. Like, have him sitting around the card table with the ladies telling tales, and Donald Glover can act them out AND THEY DON'T NECESSARILY MATCH!

No kidding! We saw it this year with the SF symphony. People dressed up! It was a delight. They should remake bad movies instead.

My most unhinged(?) take:

This is not just 70s nostalgia

I think we should go back to glass bottles & jars for packaging ALL pre-prepared food & drink.

Glass is near-infinitely recyclable and the improvement for both human health and the health of the environment would be significant.

People were saying that San Francisco was over in the 1870s because they missed the Gold Rush days when there were no paved streets and people sank in quicksand walking down Market Street.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 2d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.
