The mental image of a person eating their own head was Johnny Carson for me, for some reason. Which works, i guess, since late night hosts famously comment on whatever their guest is plugging, regardless of not having read it/seen it/etc…

For a taste of what it feels like to see an American win at an international game, you could watch early rounds of the World Cup… or you could watch Demi Adejuyigbe’s current winning-streak on Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee.

Americans really are too silly to have a realistic understanding of the 1st Amendment Bitch

A sign with blue text on a white field reads:

“$1,000 reward
It is a felony under Oregon law to assault a TriMet operator or vandalize TriMet property (here, someone has graffitied the words “1st Amendment Bitch”)

TriMet offers a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of any person who assaults a TriMet employee or vandalizes

Tanking this year would be a great way to totally break the spirit of a bunch of young/ potentially great players. For example, see DC’s other basketball team, which has a squad of young players who don’t like to publicly admit that they play for The Wizards when they use ride-shares.

I keep thinking about how much I liked The Mandalorian and Grogu. Saving a friend is more important than fighting an enemy. Rose Tico says “That’s how we’re going to win. Not fighting what we hate, saving what we love.”

Used to be that the fate of the Skywalkers’ souls and the fate of the galaxy were obviously and inextricably linked. Maybe Rotta’s soul won’t change the fate of the galaxy, or maybe it will; it is still important either way. I love the willingness of new Star Wars to keep the stakes personal.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu was awesome. The only semi-valid criticism I’ve heard is that it might have been better as a new season of the TV show or a Triple-A video game. Which is the inverse of the only semi-valid criticisms for the Andor series.

Daredevil: Born Again is obviously a significant downgrade in quality from the Netflix era Daredevil/ Defenders. Jessica Jones: *throws a man through a wall, steps through the hole* Cop: *no reaction* Daredevil: *opens door, walks through, closes door behind him* Cop, panicked: *calls for backup*

The Obi Wan series got really good at times, even though not always. if nothing else I loved Beru and Owen stepping up, since they’ve never gotten enough credit for saving the galaxy by being good parents.

You know what, Disney Star Wars has been mostly okay to good, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. Except Rise of Skywalker, which was trying to retcon Last Jedi in direct response to "Star Wars fans" Never listen to Star Wars fans. We're awful.

R Coal B @closethecaption.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Hard agree. Even Rise of Skywalker is the only project I’ll hear out as arguably ‘bad’, while still having enjoyable moments. The next worst Disney era project is what? The Acolyte, maybe? Which was solidly in the ‘okay to good’ range.

In my earliest memories I already loved Star Wars, but was not yet able to follow too much plot, so I thought there were like 10 movies. I still remember finally developing enough to understand that the Cloud City one and the Ice Planet one were the same movie.
