this sequence is just about perfect.
The greatest action sequence in all of Star Wars.
Nothing about the slow-motion space chase that’s TLJ’s narrative spine makes any sense (but in a bad, distracting way that saps from everything else that happens in the film), but then you also get everything regarding Luke & the Jedi, and this, that had me freaking out like a squealing whoop hog:

Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are. Why make yourself miserable shouting at bots (who don't care) or trolls (who get off on your misery). Make your fucking social media enjoyable, FFS.

That ANN article by @laurenorsini.bsky.social is making me nostalgic for the golden age of the Pacific Mall in Toronto (Markham), back when it was jam packed with HK sets of dubious provenance, including lots of random classic titles. Vendors would sometimes yell "no Hollywood movies!" at us

Nobody rides as hard for Bluesky as Matt here rides "look at me, I am the reasonable guy surrounded by all these extremists, send money"
As we see in the replies from the hardcore bluesky fans, the counter view isn't that the right is more dangerous than I think it's that Elon Twitter is more rigged than I think so there's no point in participating.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Glad to see someone asking Marvel and DC to pay royalties to their artists when their work is reprinted, maybe they should have been doing this for sixty years
For years I’ve been trying to get someone at DC or Marvel to create an art book titled “Lichtenstein in Context” reprinting the stories he plagiarized as RL would have seen them (no modern recoloring) and giving the proceeds to the artists or their families. Sell it in museum gift shops.
