What does one do with hundreds of inherited Funko Pops at this point that doesn’t include setting them ablaze?

I want a story about the Jedi working trade professions at the temple on Coruscant.

Someone had to tailor robes, build customized chairs for Council members, feed younglings and run the gift shop.

Let’s hear about them going on their first real adventure, learning to survive out of their elements.

Hot Take: Film preservation is super neat.

I could give a whole TED Talk about how Miss Piggy is specifically Frank Oz’s drag persona and why that factors into the failure to recapture the character’s popularity and success after he left the role.

(I feel very strongly for Muppets, okay?)

Sometimes I think about the Sy Snootles bust from Gentle Giant that I didn’t buy for $20 at a store’s Going Out Of Business Sale years and years back. I have whole failed human relationships I have no regrets over but THIS was one of my moral failings.

I *will* make and finish *something* that actually makes it to the internet in 2026. That’s the overall creative goal. Low bars.

The truth has never been truthier.
Your reward for joining the Star Wars fandom is Star Wars fans. Your punishment for joining the Star Wars fandom is also Star Wars fans.

“Ben Shapiro wins Golden Globe for Podcasting” is my Manchurian Candidate-style trigger phrase.
The right-wing host Ben Shapiro is campaigning hard for the first Golden Globes podcast award, with splashy ad buys in trade publications and Times Square billboards. Does he stand a chance?

I see a ranking of #StarWars came out today so time to bring out old faithful

Someone fire the Writers Room of whatever reality we live in because it’s all a jumbled, incoherent mess. Call me after the reboot.

Small friend and green baby wokling.

(I don’t automatically recognize the art style, so I’m not positive who to credit, unfortunately. Any help, @philszostak.bsky.social?)

Step One:
Ever So Slightly Adjust Medication

Step Two:
Abandon Sleep. Ponder the nature of mortality. “Xanadu” is now stuck in your head for no reason.

Specific Dive: You guys remember the punk rock vibes of the Alt (Queer/POC/Femme, etc.) Star Wars Twitter community and how (overall) fascinating, supportive and creative it was?

V FOR VENDETTA seems to mostly understand its source material. It’s just an incredibly American take on it (for better or for worse).
Good movie.

WATCHMEN basically recreates the book panel by panel but still completely misunderstands it at a cellular level.
Dumb movie.

Ten year old me used to read the pull quotes from Insider #50 into my tape recorder and pretend I had a Star Wars talk show with celebrity guests. It’s sad to see them go.

Getting into a public argument with your spouse in a CVS parking lot is heterosexual culture.

It’s almost sad that our collective dream for the future is “But what if things weren’t absolutely horrible ALL of the time?”.

Gen Z, my angels, you’ve reached your Avocado Toast era. You’re now publicly responsible for everything wrong with society until Gen Alpha gets old enough to rent a car. I’m sorry.
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

I’ve gone 35 years not knowing what the hell “cornhole” is and still I refuse to look it up.

The working poor are the hardest working people in America. Anyone who thinks they and their families don’t deserve to eat is beyond lost.
