Here is a reflection on why it is one of my Christmas traditions to watch Star Wars: The Last Jedi, by @rianjohnson.bsky.social

For the last few weeks I've been playing Mewgenics, a game in which you breed cats and take them on strategy-RPG roguelike adventures. It is fantastic. Gives you a ton of abilities and systems that combine in unexpected ways, allowing you to break the game to oh-so-satisfying results. A must play

If you haven’t seen, or rewatched Babylon 5, it is very seriously, the most relevant televised sci-fi show in history right now. In particular, season 4.

I’ve seen STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE more than 150 times. Last night, while rewatching it yet again with my eldest son, I caught something that has changed forever how I’ll experience a single scene in it…and broke my heart as a father. Let me explain.

Funny how Republicans going the extra mile in villainy always makes people forgive and forget Democrat villainy. Funny how that works, isnt it? Pretty fortunate coincidence.

The Justifications For War With Iran Keep Changing
First it's nukes, then it's conventional missiles, then it's protesters, now it's back to nukes again. Kinda seems like war with Iran is itself the objective, and they're just making up excuses to get there.

We just saw another execution on the streets of Minneapolis at the hands of federal agents, who it seems, learned how to conduct a violent and repressive occupation from the ones who know it best: the apartheid state of Israel and the IDF.

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

While dealing with a very bad breakup long ago, I played... one of the Fables while housesitting for a friend, and I got gay married in the game, and then my gay husband also broke up with me, so that's my primary association with these games

Israel should be expelled from the UN.
This week, Israeli forces stormed and destroyed the UNRWA headquarters in East Jerusalem after forcing UN staff out at gunpoint.
This is a sustained attack on the primary international agency keeping Palestinian refugees alive.

The Democrats choosing to support and fund Ice yet again isn't surprising, it isn't disappointing, it's literally what they've always done. Might as well yell at a dog for barking.

A new trilogy in the 28 BLANK Later series should have been a disaster or maybe just a retread of the original ideas but instead the first two movies in the series are beautiful meditations on death and loss and hope and society and they're incredibly moving.

trump released the names of people who will "govern" and "rebuild" Gaza. White people in western liberal democracies, the same ones supporting israel, a white settler colonial apartheid ethnostate on its campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians, get to decide who governs Gaza.
