No that she might not be good at making films. She just didn’t know how to make good Star Wars Films. She is literally the most responsible person. It’s like not blaming browns ownership for their continual poor performance. It always starts at the top.

Not better suited to video games. It’s just the filks making the video games care more about Star Wars than Kathleen Kennedy ever did. They just need to start making Good Star Wars movies.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

The while industry used to be about pushing boundaries and I miss that dearly. Part if what used to enable that was 3 years later every thing was 2x as fast for the same money. Great times.

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica. 
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica. 
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

Microsoft should exit the gaming industry and preferably my plane of existence. If BDS was not enough to convince sideliners, what MS did to id is unforgivable. Perhaps the most important western gaming studio in existence - a historied house of culture and art with genre defining talent.

I think it's more, making Art is a poor fit for wall street run businesses. When you have execs forcing monetization ideology over the creatives, we get generic crap that was too expensive to make. The Concords, the suicide squads, the loot boxification era. Add to that the over consolidation. :(

Every single Senate Republican helped enable the new and horrifying reality women face under Dobbs. They don’t just want women to stay pregnant—they want them to stay silent. But not on my watch. I will hold a burning spotlight on what Republicans have done EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Yes and walking is safer than driving. There are often few differences between 35mph, 45mph, and 50mph streets other than the presence of traffic cameras often on the same road. Also time of day plays a big role is what is actually safe. My point is speed is an input to safety, not actual safety.

Joel Barsotti @obiwansotti.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
Speed differentials are bad, but the question is if traffic just moves that fast perhaps the lower speed limit still is a cash grab.
