Dues will either be free or cost you everything you have, depending on whether conservatives currently think socialism is bad because they think it wants to give people free stuff or think it is bad because they think it wants to take away everyone's property.

For me, Rogue One had two major failings.
1. Making the flaw in the Death Star the result of sabotage, because apparently fascists overlooking a critical design flaw in a minor feature of their overly expensive wunderwaffen was deemed unrealistic.
2. Leia being present at the battle in the 3rd act.

I'm going to admit, I've tried watching Andor twice, and both times my family stopped watching after a few episodes because they weren't enjoying it and I found that I didn't care about the story enough to continue watching it on my own.

Honestly, I'd move all of the prequels up a couple places and drop Force Awakens and Last Jedi down near the bottom.
TLJ is not nearly as smart as it thinks it is, and TFA suffers from Game of Thrones' fate where the finale was botched so badly that the rest of the series was ruined retroactively.

The current American economy is basically Tinkerbell's corpse lurching about in a shambolic mockery of life while Peter Pan tells us that we better not stop clapping if we know what's good for us.

That said, these are going to be some of the most picked over documents in modern American history, and Trump's minions have reputations for leaking like sieves. Any blatant edits are likely going to be detected and/or leaked very quickly after the files become available.

According to the study, any conspiracy with more than 2500 willing collaborators is unlikely to remain secret for more than 5 years, and any with more than 1000 would likely be exposed within 10.

There was a study back in 2016 that studied conspiracy theories vs real-life conspiracies to estimate how long one could be maintained before being exposed by either leaks or carelessness from the collaborators.

The picture does specify nonfiction, so it wouldn't include War and Peace. He probably demanded the list just include nonfiction because he thinks reading fiction is frivolous, like his tweet where he says he doesn't play chess because its lack of tech trees and fog of war makes it too simple.

Like, we all know intuitively that when Elon was dictating what the list should say, he vetoed including obvious "classics" that almost no one actually reads like War and Peace or Moby Dick because, "reading fiction is frivolous."

I was going to ask what the over-under is that the list would consist of the 9 most pretentious "smart person" books one gets from a Google search, then I noticed that the post specifies "non-fiction" and realized it was Elon being even more up his own ass than usual.

Elon's responses have the energy of an unlikable douchey high school edgelord yelling, "I'm not crying, you're crying!" through gritted teeth with tears streaming down his face after getting humiliated in front of the whole class by a member of the yearbook committee.

Her legacy will almost certainly be helped by her decision to eventually retire voluntarily rather than clinging to her seat until she has to be wheeled out feet first like some of her contemporaries.

Fun fact: Fievel is technically Ukrainian. The Mousekewitzes lived in Shostka, in the present-day Sumy Oblast in Ukraine, before they were driven out by the pogrom at the beginning of the movie.
