Just wrapped up filming for Part One!

I've been filming!

One other thing: if you DO NOT LIVE IN MINNESOTA, and are NOT AFFECTED BY THIS AT ALL, and you think it's a good and productive to come in here and gloat and stir chaos and dunk on someone you dislike from the internet, maybe think a little harder about what you're doing and when you're doing it.

Okay, I'm now hearing reports of other locals being removed from Minnesota rapid response for interacting with press, as well as some "organizers" instituting onerous screening processes to join these networks. It's time for local leaders to step in. These policies are incredibly counterproductive.

Had to share this from twitter just because

It is finished. After 734 hours and 28 minutes of research and writing, I finally have drafts of all three scripts complete! Script 1 - 28,107 words Script 2 - 24,768 Script 3 - 30,026 Total - 82,901 At my normal speaking cadence, that 8 hours of content across 3 videos. Filming will begin soon!

One of the things I really liked about S2 of “Andor” was how few Imperial Stormtroopers there were. Lucas put them in masks for two reasons, IMHO: 1) it made them terrifying, their inhuman faces frozen in frowns, with no pity, feeling, etc. Echo of his enforcer robots in THX-1138.

Bluesky has the juice

This is the result of allowing states to individually rebrand Medicaid. Nobody gets their health insurance through "Medicaid." If you're in California, it's Medi-Cal. TennCare in Tennessee. MassHealth. SoonerCare. DenaliCare. Bayou Health. Etc etc. There are 50 different names.

Remember the people who hated Obamacare but loved the Affordable Care Act, and didn't realize they were the same thing? Yeah, a lot of them are about to find out their health insurance IS THROUGH MEDICAID! More leopards, more faces to eat.

Has there ever been a non-evil person who has that squiggly temple vein?

Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress. But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/1974...

This is really on the democrats for running on a policy of not doing any of this.

Crazy how everyone's favorite feature on Ground News is the blind spot feed.

Vidcon was this last weekend and you wouldn't know it by looking at any creator's social media feeds. Most people I know skipped it and the few people I know who went didn't say a word about it. It sucks how irrelevant that con has become. 😕

Okay but, season 3 of Andor set between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back where they discover the second Death Star and get ready to help the Bothans. I don't care what you call it, just follow the same characters.

I feel this in my bones. If everybody gets tossed over because of one bad call, action, misjudgment, statement, compromise, moment of cowardice or weakness, etc etc… Ain’t nobody left on the boat.

something I find frustrating at times is how many folks, on here or elsewhere, are willing to write people off who are pretty clearly on the same side because of one bad take they can definitely add up to the point that it’s worth writing people off but imo too many people set the bar too low

Speed is such an amazing movie.

You are not alone. (Watch this even if you don't play the game, it has almost nothing to do with that.) youtu.be/Ro3yVfE-oxQ

@stefanmilo.bsky.social Please explain the Roman dodecahedron in Andor when Star Wars is supposed to be "a long long time ago."

So everyone's still on Twitter, huh

Elon Musk has learned his lesson. by Susan Collins

The US Court of International Trade sounds made up tbh Be honest, you'd never heard of it before yesterday.

Hichews are what Starbursts pretend to be.

Just wait until the rifle qualification level where the battalion sends all 500 of you to the range at the same time - even though there are only 10 working lanes.

Ultra-Realistic Modern Warfare Game Features Awaiting Orders, Repairing Trucks

I’m really haunted by how we’ve shifted from the Internet as a space of wonder and discovery to hatred. And we can never really go back. Younger people today will never experience that. There is just…so much hate.

I just want to wake up and not feel like the world is falling apart.

I mostly abandoned reddit after the app debacle, but looking at it now, wow, wtf happened? I'm looking at r/videos and in the top ten, there are two threads with a single-digit's worth of upvotes and 0 comments. r/mealtimevideos still features posts from 7 days ago. Did they change the algorithm?

Hey, PBS NewsHour, me again. Stop referring to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget as "nonpartisan." It's embarrassing. @pbsnews.org

Yeah, it's not movies, TV, music, or video games that exalt these weapons of war. It's the museums. 🙄

Mother Jones@motherjones.com · last yr.

US military museums, often pet projects of the ultra-wealthy, purport to provide accurate depictions of war. But even the most clear-eyed exhibits are problematic, even deadly. “They put these things on an altar, like they’re sanctified. These are not toys, they are weapons."

If your house announces to me that I'm being recorded as I'm walking on the public sidewalk, just know that I'm flipping off your house every time I walk by.
