We are saddened by the passing of Marcia Lucas. Her contributions to the success of Star Wars were immeasurable. We celebrate her work on Taxi Driver, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, and American Graffiti as well. You cannot tell the story of Star Wars without her. Thank you, Marcia

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

Another thing to mention for people who don't live in LA. Most of LA is very chill and peaceful right now. There's a huge Pride fest going on, countless farmer's markets, tourists walking around, families at the parks, people walking their dogs. It's a big place.

i don’t know what to say about the images coming out of LA right now. but in case you need it, here’s a reminder that out in the streets, only water goes in your eyes. flush with water. take your clothes off when you get home & take a cool shower, wash yourself with dish soap a few times. godspeed.

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.

“The Empire is like America ten years from now; after: Nixonian gangsters assassinated the emperor and were elected to power in a rigged election; created civil disorder by instigating race riots…Then the people were exploited with high taxes, utility and transport costs..." - George Lucas, 1974

George Lucas’ handwritten notes before starting the rough draft of Star Wars in 1974. Alt text provided. From The Making of Star Wars by JW Rinzler.

Lined yellow legal pad with handwriting on it: The Empire is like America ten years from now; after: Nixonian gangsters assassinated the emperor and were elected to power in a rigged election; created civil disorder by instigating race riots. Aiding rebel groups. And allowing the crime rate to rise to the point where a “total control” police state was welcomed by the people. then the people were exploited with high taxes, utility and transport costs, gangsters, a cartel made up of power companies, transport companies + crime organizations. Other companies had to pay bribes to stay in business. they increase the crime rate by slowing down the system of justice and punishment.

"For all the people in the comments saying, 'Why can't you talk about Star Wars without making it political?' Save it. Andor is not being subtle. Star Wars as a whole has never been subtle." Alex continues to not mince words and knocking these reviews out of the park. Bravo, my friend.

Star Wars Explained@starwarsexplained.com · last yr.

Some of the absolute best Star Wars ever came out last night. Today let’s discuss #Andor season 2 episodes 7-9: Messenger, Who are you? And Welcome to the Rebellion 👇 youtu.be/IzOSr6mPqfI?...

"Stark’s team found that not only were Ramos’ vocal tissues healthy, but he was also moving structures in his larynx in ways that clean singers usually don’t and incorporating other structures that aren’t typically associated with singing." The endoscopy video is fascinating to watch!

Science Friday@scifri.bsky.social · last yr.

Researchers are inviting death metal singers into the lab to understand how they can scream, growl, and squeal without hurting their vocal tissues. What they’re finding upends conventional wisdom on vocal health. ✍️ @ohyeahitscouch.bsky.social

RFK Jr. said autism "destroys" children and families. Autistic people beg to differ. I'm so grateful to the people who talked to me and my colleagues — and to the literally 200+ more people who offered to share their stories. I hope you'll read to the end for a mic drop of a final quote.

Kennedy Claimed Autism ‘Destroys’ Lives. Autistic People Disagree.

People in the community called the remarks dehumanizing and warned they could perpetuate harmful stigma.

Autism is genetic, runs in families, and is a natural & healthy part of human neurodiversity. There is no “epidemic”. The numbers of young ppl identified as Autistic has increased with the active efforts to identify Autistic children younger … it’s a phenomenon called #AutismAwareness.

RFK Jr: "By September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we will be able to eliminate those exposures."

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple
