The water thing is 0% entirely made up.

And data center energy usage is a problem.

Bahaha. Awesome. I am envious. :D

He put out a second album after that based on Empire and then came back to do another... in 2005!

They're all on Spotify and Apple Music, now.

Also that Wikipedia article has some fun facts:
Screenshot from previously linked Wikipedia article about the Star Wars Christmas album. The image shows a photo of the droid R2-D2 with the caption, Meco spent eight hours trying to replicate the sounds of R2-D2 on early synthesizers.

So, this just arrived.

#StarWars #Christmas #music
Photo of a CD with the slip cover. The CD is designed to look like a record album but it is colored red instead of black. The album title is Christmas Among the Stars. The cover art is by well known Star Wars artist Ralph McQuarrie and features the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO helping Santa in a sci-fi accented Christmas toy woorkshop.

‘THE OWL HOUSE’ creator @danaterrace.bsky.social has some thoughts about Disney+ using genAI. 😎
Screenshot of a post from Twitter, showing Dana Terrace quote tweeting a tweet by Culture Crave. The quote tweet reads, "Bob Iger says Disney+ will soon have AI-genereated short form content from users". It includes an image of Mickey Mouse and the Disney+ logo. Dana responds, "If you pay us we'll let you make your own content slop! That we will own!" YOU CAN DRAW AND WRITE AND POST YOUR OWN SHIT FOR FREE. Bob Iger and his ilk are fucking ghouls.

When you're an outlaw, sometimes you stop to share a meal.

#StarWars
Screenshot from the video game Star Wars Outlaws. The image shows the protagonist, Kay, seated at a bar and sharing a large plate of food with her Merquall, Nix. Nix is sitting on the bar with a happy look on its face. It looks like a furry axolotl.

When you're an outlaw, you might pause and think to yourself, "I wonder if this is what they mean when they say 'stick the landing'?"

#StarWars
Screenshot from the video game Star Wars Outlaws. The image shows the protagonist, Kay, standing in a desert landscape among rocky outcroppings. There is an Imperial shuttlecraft but the game glitched and the vehicle is "parked" with its front end "buried" in the ground and the back side pointing straight up as thought it's one of the rock pillars like those next to it.

When you're an outlaw, you might get the chance to check out a TIE Reaper up close. (Do not recommend.)

#StarWars
Screenshot from the video game Star Wars Outlaws. Image shows a TIE Reaper, an Imperial shuttlecraft hoverig next to a tent on a rocky cliffside. The shuttle has a low, narrow profile and wings that look like a TIE Fighter but are horizontal instead of vertical and have a menacing design.

When you're an outlaw, sometimes you pause to wonder, "What are these shipjackers doing with all these protocol droids??"

#StarWars
Screenshot from the video game Star Wars Outlaws. Image shows a dark storage area full of shelves and boxes and six deactivated protocol droids similar to C-3PO. On a lit shelf are a few astromech (like R2-D2) droid heads.

When you're an outlaw, you'd be forgiven for thinking, "That Imperial Sentinel Class Shuttle really ties the landscape together."

#StarWars
Screenshot from the video game Star Wars outlaws. Image shows an Imperial shuttle (similar to the kind that appears in the movie Star Wars Return of the Jedi) parked at the edge of a cliff. It is surrounded by a couple of trees and green and pink plants. The sky is cloudy.

When you're an outlaw, you could find yourself just hanging around outside a Pike Syndicate compound.

#StarWars
Screenshot from the video game Star Wars Outlaws. The image shows the protagonist, Kay, hanging at the end of a grappling hook line. Her companion, Nix the Merqaal, is clinging to her back. She is looking out over a temperate grass land landscape with rocky outcroppings. The sky is full of clouds.

When you're an outlaw, you might occasionally sit and contemplate the giant Imperial radar dish above the outpost you're supposed to break into nestled among a rocky outcropping in the middle of the countryside.

#StarWars
Screenshot from the video game Star Wars Outlaws. Image is basically as described in the post. The protagonist, Kay, is sitting on a cargo box and staring off at the giant radar dish in the distance.

When you're an outlaw, you might find yourself having a think at the fueling station at twilight. Wondering how you got here, relying on a rodian engineer to repair your (dubiously acquired) ship.

[ Sign says: FUEL | OPEN ALL HOURS ]

#StarWars
Screenshot from the video game Star Wars Outlaws. The image shows a speeder (like Luke drives in the first Star Wars movie) parked next to a fueling station (Star Wars gas station). There are stars in the cloudy skiy and a sign with a fuel pump on the side of the building. The station is situated in a countryside.

When you're an outlaw, sometimes you get to chill out and enjoy the view next to a Imperial Sentinel-Class Shuttle (after you're forced to hastily dispatch the crew).

#StarWars
Screenshot from the video game Star Wars Outlaws. The image shows an imperial shuttle that has landed in a shallow stream full of small plants. The landscape around the shuttle is grassland and rocky cliffs. In the far distance is a strange peak that is almost triangular in shape and has an almost circular gap in the middle.

Wow.

The rumors are true: Star Wars Insider is ending it's run, citing the decreasing demand for print publishing. 😔

Screencap of the headline and accompanying image of the article detailing the end of Star Wars Insider magazine. The Headline reads "Star Wars Insider to launch final issue in 2026". The image is several covers of the magazine over the years.

Meanwhile I have blocklist for annoying liberals and conservatives, too. But please, keep binging on your shallow, group think assumptions. :)

From Natasha Liu Bordizzo’s Instagram stories.
#StarWars #Ahsoka #WolfWren
A series of three photos from Space Con. They are celebrity photo op photos of Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Ivanna Sakhno, who play Sabine and Shin Hati in the Star Wars TV show Ahsoka. The first photo shows a male presenting fan wearing a baseball cap and t-shirt standing between Natasha and Ivanna. Natasha is wearing a bride's veil and she and Ivanna are holding a small white bridal boquet. All three are looking at the camera. In the second photo Natalie and Ivanna are looking at each other, like they're exchanging vows. In the third photo, the man is standing by himself. Natasha and Ivanna are off to the side. Natasha is behind Ivanna with her arms wrapped around Ivanna and making a kissy face. Natasha has captioned the last photo "Thank you San Antonio 🧡... and sorry Kurt"

Saw this comment on a friend’s Facebook post and it fairly well summed up my feeling about this attitude that I’ve been trying to put into words and failing.

I don’t necessarily agree with the “run for office yourself” part, but the rest of it is spot-on.
Everyone's vote is put together with other people's votes. When you speak so forcefully of "earning your vote", you're not thinking about what politicians have to do to get *other* people's votes. I'm sorry, but you're not the only voter a candidate has to listen to in order to get elected. If it's that important to you, then run for office yourself.

Please enjoy this #caturday kitty belly as Evey poses on the roommate’s rug amidst the temporary cat playground of packing materials, cat toys, and scratching pads.

#CatsOfBlueSky #cats
Photo of a grey tabby cat with a fluffy white belly and legs. She is laying on her back with her belly exposed looking up at the camera. Around her are two scratching pads, a couple of cat toys, and some open cardboard boxes and packing papers. She was given belly pets shortly after this photo was taken.
