From Everton, Braves, Star Wars/Trek, Georgia Bulldogs, Wu Tang, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes to the Macho Man and all places in between.

The Challenger disaster was a horrible tragedy, but I remember it was so shocking because catastrophe under NASA was so rare. This never-ending procession of privatised space rockets exploding every other week is making it mundane. Privatisation is shit.

One of the little things I love about ROTJ is how each Rebel fighter type has its own specific uniform and helmet. Classic orange for X-wings, green for A-wings, dark red for B-wings, and grayish-white for Y-wings. Also- the distinct helemt types. Just love details like that.
