Acolyte was a lot more uneven than Andor but it was similarly trying to do something new with Star Wars. BUT the troglodyte fans are always going to be more accepting of a gritty war story made by a dude than what Acolyte was doing. And even then Andor wasn't pulling slop factory Mandalorian numbers
We might've been shocked by The Acolyte's cancellation. But showrunner Leslye Headland wasn't:

Leslye Headland saw the writing on the wall with The Acolyte, though the experience left her with some thoughts about the future of Star Wars.

Aside from Birmingham I'd also like to shout-out Wenatchee Washington, population 35,000 apparently. If backwaters like us can do BDS you can too!
Activists worldwide took part in the #BoycottChevron global day of action on November 22, highlighting Chevron’s complicity in Israel’s genocide, apartheid and occupation.

All eyes on the Honduran elections.
Trump endorsed Tito Asfura and will pardon a member of his party, narco-dictator Juan Orlando Hernandez, extradited to the US in 2022 for working w/ El Chapo. JOH was elected in 2017 in an election deemed fraudulent by international observers and even the US DOJ.

You're telling me that Zohran Mamdani is working with people affiliated with DSA? Wow. I didn't know that. You're telling me now for the first time.
“There are a lot of bad names,” one Jewish leader told Jewish Insider, sharing screenshots of exchanges flagging some transition picks seen as problematic, such as an anti-Zionist rabbi and activists affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America.
Mamdani transition picks draw scrutiny from Jewish leaders
Among the most controversial picks was Mamdani’s appointment of Tamika Mallory, a former Women’s March leader who stepped down from its board amid allegations of antisemitism, to a newly established community safety committee

I missed the window for the latest star wars discourse but here's my take anyway: Solo is underappreciated and Rogue One is good but suffers from obvious rewrites and leans too hard on nostalgia bait. 3 rotating antagonists clutters up the narrative, drop CGI Tarkin and just have Vader's end scene.

"You're too stupid to know what's legal or illegal so just follow orders" would not be a particularly compelling argument to me if I were in the military
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)

Quoggy: mushy and soft, like a quagmire. Herman's saying anyone who puts oil in their hair might be a bit of a fruit - in context he's specifically throwing shade on the anointed kings of England - but I say such a man is simply a Dapper Dan Man.

I am sympathetic to arguments that Mamdani shouldn't have met Trump even if I disagree with them but I sure hope the other side can offer some better alternatives than "build an army of the working class(?)"

Would you believe this is the end result of a thread that started with the OP claiming that the founding fathers were socialists.
No. In fact, the word "rape" (as a form of sexual assault) didn't even exist until the 1800s.

I really think if we could stuff Vance and Miller and all those other ghouls and gombeens into a locker and gave Trump a bunch of DSA interns to hang out with all day we'd be halfway to a second Soviet Republic by February.
Reporter to Trump: Elise Stefanik calls Mamdani a "jihadist." Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist?
Trump: No, I don't. But she's out there campaigning, and you say things sometimes in a campaign. She's a very capable person.

Interesting to see how many people on Bluesky have interpreted Mamdani's participation in an NYC DSA forum last night as intervention against the wishes of membership meanwhile the consensus among membership seems to be pretty energetic and joyful that he is actively participating.

She needs to go back to her previous series about child soldiers experiencing trauma: Gregor the Overlander. I think society is finally ready for that story to be told with giant anthropomorphic bats and rats.
I thought there were three books but every few months I hear about Hunger Games: Lamentation of the Sower and Hunger Games: Dusk of the Plaintive Wife
First look at Ralph Fiennes as President Snow in ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.’ Out November 20, 2026.
