9 years ago today, my favorite Star Wars movie, Rogue One, released in theaters.

Prequels inherently have the problem of known outcomes, but Rogue One's execution was essentially flawless, leading into a truly desperate, amazing 3rd act that only continues to escalate until the end credits.

Muppets Christmas Carol is the best Christmas movie bc it includes a song with the lyrics, "your future is a horror story written by your crimes" & nothing says Christmas cheer more than that. Also Michael Caine deserved all the awards for that performance. Perfection. No notes.

TP'd the kid's room tonight, never done it before. Cheeky elf.

Introduced the kid to #Pikmin 2 on the Wii today (after they kicked my ass at Sports Resort Bowling) after telling her stories about them for bedtime. They were super into plucking and controlling them!

One of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes:

“All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.”

More timely today than ever, don't you think? 💙

It's almost as if letting 27 free trade deals die was a bad idea...
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

If you see this, post a #StarTrek

My copy of The Empty Chair is in the basement. This'll have to do.

There seems to be a very American myth that the US government has a document that is so controversial it can bring down the elite should it ever be released. Yet, of course, either said document doesn't exist or it has none of the earth-shattering revelations expected. JFK, Roswell, Epstein...

I was cooking while my kid was in their room, figured I could continue some @greatesttrek.com out loud and the first thing is about Kirk smacking Ruuk with a "dildonic stalacmite".

Lesson learned: no pod without headphones!

My wife got me this awesome Jeff Goldblum/Jurassic Park pin and I think I'm in love all over again.

Might pick up @aptshadow.bsky.social's The City of Last Chances for the cover art alone. The audiobook was great, but I'm not going to read it anytime soon, but if I have it then my kid can read it in 10+ years...

A new image of Trump's design for the White House has leaked. Critics are devastated to find that the interior will be mostly empty space.

Star Trek is at its best when it’s about in-atmosphere combat with Nazis change my mind.

I need help deciding if something is funny. My wife suggested we get each other a gag gift for Christmas. For years I've half joked I wanted the big Lego Millennium Falcon and she's obviously told me 'no way'. Would it be funny if I got her a tiny Lego millennium falcon?

Every year I order my wife's Christmas presents too late. Lots of panic and apologies. So this year I decided to do something about it and the first orders have already arrived!

And my wife said I should have waited lol

If it wasn't for all the out of hours work, I'd love to be an English or IT teacher in a secondary school. Kinda assumed I would be doing that at 35.

I have a bad feeling that the next Xbox is going to be a configurable and upgradable PC that doesn't use standard parts. With the trajectory Microsoft is going, I can't see any sense in their decisions.

Trying to hatch a shiny Phione in Pokémon Violet. Had to borrow the kid's Lego.
