The Revenge of the Sith book made the Obi-Wan / Grievous battle totally badass.

A concealed compartment in the general's right thigh sprang open, and a mechanical arm delivered a slim holdout blaster to his hand. He brought it up and fired so fast that his arm blurred to invisiblity.

Obi-Wan... reached.

The electrostaff flipped into the air between them, one discharge blade catching the bolt.

The impact sent the staff whirling—
Right into Obi-Wan's hand.

There came one instant's pause, while they looked into each other's eyes and shared an intimate understanding that their relationship had reached its end.

Obi-Wan charged.

My question about Schmitt's fuck up: the texts his staffers displayed made no mention of "the Hawks," from what I could see. So how did he get there? Never mind mistaking The Hawkeyes for The Hawks. Where did the idea of "the Hawks" come from?

Eric Schmitt and his little toadies thought they had Jack Smith dead-to-rights in a perjury trap and conspiring against Tr*mp, but the second Amy Klobuchar called out their massive mistake, their souls visibly died of embarrassment.

I'm currently reading the novelization of Revenge of the Sith. I've also read those of The Phantom Menace and The Clone Wars, plus the tie-in novels Cloak of Deception and Labyrinth of Evil. And man, these books hammer home the fact that Mace Windu is a dick to Anakin for literally no reason.

There’s a 20-year-old guy on the train mansplaining (complete with an “actually”) the virtues of polyamorous relationships, and he’s using the phrase “three peas in a pod” as the reasoning. When one of the women calmly said, “It’s two peas in a pod,” he gaslit her into thinking it’s three.

Not sure when I’ll get to this one, but it’s 11.4 x 10.1 inches, only three colors, and a total of 17,580 stitches. It’s gonna take me months.

Decided to make a gift for someone, and this pattern by CrossStitchByJade (www.etsy.com/shop/CrossSt...) was perfect. Some of the colors were adjusted, as I had an exceptionally slim window and had to use what was on-hand. Took me two solid days, totaling 13 to 15 hours. #crossstitch #embroidery

I came up with some more inane bullshit for everyone to argue about!

(September 23, 2026 at 10:44am)
Fake opinions to argue over…
- Never turn left on a first date.
- Every kindergarten student should have an unpaid internship.
- The periodic table is too sexual.
- Bigfoot should be allowed to vote.
- Having a dream is the same as reading a book.
- You can wear a crop top to a funeral if the deceased person was hot when they died.

I sometimes struggle to see Ethan Peck as Spock, the shadow of Leonard Nimoy is so long. However, everything Peck does in this brief moment is stunning. I was able to see past Peck and to Spock.

What are some free (or inexpensive) Mac-based apps for creating #crossstitch and #embroidery designs? I'm looking for one which allows me to add in the little symbols for easier guides. The web-based Stitchmate seems good but I'm not keen on the fee. I'm about to try Inkscape. Any thoughts?

A cross stitched inhaler. A white banner is wrapped around the inhaler. The text reads: "It's not easy being wheezy."

Referred to myself in the female form at work today. First time I've ever done that. While on a support call, I said, "I'm the queen of the workaround." Felt kinda nice.

Not sure how it'll turn out on the completed design, but here's the glow-in-the-dark floss I'll be using tomorrow. #crossstitch

Working on a #crossstitch that does not call for glow-in-the-dark floss, it's not a spooky pattern, and the glowing isn't needed for the design. However: I have glow-in-the-dark floss and kinda want to use it.

It's so obvious when he has big money invested in something, 'cause he acts like an unhinged maniac (more so than usual) when toadies push back. This is clearly a threat aimed at Dario Amodei.
