Just watched the Biggs Cut with my wife. Deeply satisfying. I completely get why 80% of Biggs was cut from the final film, BUT if you don't care about pacing and are just interested in character development, SO MUCH ABOUT LUKE ONLY MAKES SENSE IF YOU KNOW ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH BIGGS

Including Biggs makes the introduction of Han WAY funnier
Biggs is genuinely suave / confident, and has a moral guiding light, and Luke looks up to him all puppy-eyed; Han is about the same age as Biggs, and pretends to be hot shit, but Luke immediately clocks the guy as a scammy prick

this thread is so cool, and it made me realize that because i READ THE BOOKS as a child, I ... already knew about Biggs. So *I* was invested when Things Happened during the movie because, yes, I read the book(s) first. LOLOLOL nerd kid.

The second, though, is that able-bodied people often think of someone being "wheelchair bound."
For most who use them, the wheelchair is not the issue. The frailty of the body is an issue - the wheelchair is a solution. The disability is what binds you, but the wheelchair provides *freedom.*

Star Trek doesn’t always engage (heh) with disability well, but it TRIES. It foresees complex futures, where people may not view something as “wrong” with them—rather just a fact of their existence.
If you don’t wear glasses, you know someone who does.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

I’m not sure whether we should take it seriously when folks ask “what can the democrats do since they’re not the majority?,” you’re not playing your position, friend. Their job doesn’t stop because the coalition isn’t large enough. No, they need to get out there and argue. Fight!

At this point, I really don't understand their protection of Trump. When he falls, they will fall harder. If he dies or is removed from office before his term is up, they are done for. He can't help them if he's dead or removed from office. Their loyalty makes no sense.

These are not “protests,” but what Adam Serwer has so aptly called “neighborism”: Acts of democratic solidarity that directly confront the political project that is fueling the violent occupation of American cities and defy the MAGA vision of terrorizing those who don’t “belong” into isolation.

Anti-authoritarian “neighborism” and cross-racial solidarity from below are a massive problem for the regime, exposing Trumpism’s weaknesses and ideological blind spots

The “Where are the protests?” lament after Trump’s inauguration was always based on a (willful) misperception – a myth propagated by a punditry vying for relevance, hellbent on presenting grandiose reckonings and sweeping narratives rather than careful empirical assessments.
Overall, we have tallied 4x more protests through Jan 31, 2026 than we had through Jan 31, 2018

Another thing. They went for trans kids because it's easier to target them than trans adults.
Trans kids you can threaten the parents with safeguarding and child abduction and force them to tolerate a lot of institutional abuse with limited outcry.

There's no outstanding scientific theory that would otherwise explain why puberty blockers are "harmful" for gender identity cases but not harmful for precocious puberty, beyond "we don't want the trans kids to be trans".
