A visibly off-her-t¡ts Carrie Fisher singing a (terrible) song at the finale.

The whole thing is on YouTube which mercifully allows you to skip bits.

Happy Life Day!!

HAPPY LIFE DAY✨

…from a visibly wasted Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford wishing he was literally anywhere else, and all the crew!

If you’ve never seen it, the Star Wars Holiday Special is a cursed abomination of TV that you must watch.

It’s about an in-universe holiday called ‘Life Day’ and includes:

New York Post (unintentionally) making the most joyful celebration cover 💪 🥰
Front page of the New York Post. The headline reads The Red Apple, and it’s accompanied by a composite image of a triumphant Zohran Mamdani. His photorealistic head is on the body of a soviet propaganda style worker holding up a hammer and sickle. The whole page is against an art deco skyline of New York. Everything looks cool as fuck, despite the paper’s clear intention to frighten people.

Excellent advice, as always, from 'Calvin and Hobbes'
A panel from the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. Hobbes, a tiger, is lying on the branch of a tree. Calvin, a small boy is sitting on the branch behind him. He tells Hobbes that the world is a complicated place. Hobbes replies that whenever it seems that way he takes a nap in a tree and waits for dinner. Hobbes looks peaceful.

Recommendations for accommodation in Hong Kong?

⬆️ Priorities are food and exploring.
⬇️ Not so interested in shopping or parties.
Still from the movie Chungking Express. Faye, a young Asian woman with short hair is kneeling on a moving walkway with a bowl of noodles in one hand, looking through the glass barrier lining the walkway. Her reflection in the glass is vivid, creating a visual symmetry.

Your annual reminder that TIME's 'Person of the Year' is not an award or prize.

It is an observation of influence on the world, for better or worse.

"The one holiday, mind you, where there's no hugging, there's no singing, there aren't even cards.

We dress as monsters and we threaten people with tricks and they give us candy and it's beautiful."
