This is what the growth of surveillance is going to bring. Not safety from crime, but new, non-criminal acts redefined as criminal so as to give the police an excuse to exercise power. local12.com/news/offbeat...

Growing up in the South I’m used to Lost Cause nonsense, but I am not used to this rhetoric of the Confederacy as “more” American than the Union. That is a frightening ideological evolution.

Ossoff: In my view, he's obsessed with Georgia because he can't get over the fact that it was black voters and black political power who were instrumental to his defeat in Georgia and in a number of crucial battleground states.

“’Centrism’ is just performative compromise devoid of critical thinking, policy, or ideology,” D’Arrigo wrote. “It’s a political vehicle that gives permission to do nothing in service of protecting a status quo that benefits large corporate donors and special interest groups who fund both parties.”

Fox made sure to note that there's a sizable population of immigrants from Cape Verde in Rhode Island and, honestly, I'd love to see that for each match. Remind Americans that we have connections to all these countries through immigration, collapse the distance and give us rooting interests.

In the 1830s everyone in the USA knew
that canal waterways were the future of
commerce. Every state started building a
canal network with the vision of hooking
them all into a national network. In 1837
there was a Great Recession, and the tax
base for the canal work collapsed. When
the economy recovered 5 years later, the
railroad boom was happening and
everyone knew that canals were over.
That's why every city in the Midwest has a
half-finished canal in it. This is a post
about data centers

I love this franchise. At times it feels bloated and without clear direction, but it is meaningful to me. It has been with me at key points in my life, and beneath the laser swords and aliens, at its best I think it has something worth saying about the potential for light and dark in each of us.

Solo - fun, at times silly, but a cool look at the galaxy’s seedy underbelly. Not every orphan gets rescued by a Jedi, some have to make their own way.

Rogue One - Star Wars finally feels like a war movie. You tell yourself not to get attached to these characters that are clearly on a one way mission, but you can’t help it. K-2S0 saying “Climb!” will always be devastating, and of course Vader’s hallway scene is iconic.

Ep 9 is the movie that it’s cool to say you didn’t like, and if I got to make it, it would’ve been different. That said, there are moments that I love - Rey’s new lightsaber, Ben fighting the Knights, “there are more of us”.

Warlock @w4rlock.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
Ep 8 is a nearly perfect movie. The throne room fight is one of my favorite scenes, and Kyle’s “join me” speech after is heartbreaking. Luke’s return perfectly echoes Ep 6 - with power but not violence. And Yoda never misses - “the greatest teacher failure is”. If you’ve ever failed, you get it.

Ep 7 saw me watching a new Star Wars movie as an adult with my wife. It was funny, heartfelt, introduced new characters but with the familiarity of the original trilogy, and gave new mysteries to explore. It felt old and new at once, and reminded us that truly defeating darkness is difficult.

Ep 3 might be the most quotable movie in the series. Anakin’s fall from grace, the slaughter of the Jedi, and the brutal lightsaber fights make it an absolute thrill of a movie.

Ep 1 came out on my birthday in middle school and my parents surprised me with tickets for me and my friends. Reentering the galaxy at this age was a dream, and the podrace and duel of the fates are two incredible sequences, even if I was too young to understand the taxation of trade routes.

Warlock @w4rlock.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
Ep 6 is my personal favorite, even if it’s not the best. Ben and Yoda believed only defeating the Sith in combat could bring victory, but when Luke announces “I am a Jedi”, he tosses his saber away. He saves the galaxy, not with violence but by choosing NOT to fight. A true Jedi. Also - Ewoks.

Warlock @w4rlock.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
Ep 5 is a masterpiece. Darth Vader is a relentless villain, almost like the monster in a slasher film. Yoda’s “my ally is the Force” speech is some of the best lines in the franchise and maybe the Father reveal feels like a trope now but as a kid it was a shock.

I saw Ep 4 when I was 5-6 years old when Dad came home with the VHS from Blockbuster. They paused it several times to make sure I understood what was going on, but everything from the opening space battle to the cantina to the dogfight captured my tiny imagination and never let go
