I'm sure this has been written about somewhere, but let's imagine Darth Vader blows up Luke's X-wing and the Rebel base is destroyed. The Death Star's next stop is almost certainly Coruscant, with Tarkin holding the military at bay while Vader kills the Emperor himself, right?

By the way, Gavin Newsom is apparently raising money to fight AGAINST the billionaire tax. So thoughtful of him to come to their aid at this particular time in history,

@ghostpanther.bsky.social Has Wolf Pack’s campaign to pass an amendment, via an Article V convention, to get $ out of politics popped up on your radar? They’ve passed the resolution in several states despite (spoiler alert) national Dem opposition. Sirota would vouch I believe fightcorruption.us
Unite to Fight Corruption With Wolf Pack
Our goal is to empower a mass movement to amend the U.S. Constitution, freeing America from the corrupting influence of money, and restoring a democratic republic that represents us all.

My wife peels back the resealable lid from the Oreos like a detective looking at a body on the street. “Who did this?”

Sama'a works day in and day out to keep her family alive, and our aid is the slender line she relies on to keep them fed and sheltered. Please give what you can.
WiFi is cut where Sama’a lives 😔

She walked a LONG way to ask me to write her next post.

I’m sharing the 1st vid she ever sent me (9mo ago)

Before 10/7, she was a schoolteacher. She misses her students. Some were martyred 💔

Now she teaches Julia 💞

Send her some love.

There are 18 shows on this list. My guideline for inclusion was any show this year that would make me say to someone I cared about "You know what you should watch?" Not every show is for every viewer, but if you're looking for recent TV drama recommendations I stand behind, here you go.
I wrote about the Best TV Shows of 2025.

“One day, a woman wrote to me on Signal, asking me not to respond. She lived alone, she messaged, and planned to die that weekend. Before she did, she wanted at least one person to understand: Trump had unraveled the government, and with it, her life.” @hannahnatanson.bsky.social essay:
I am The Post’s ‘federal government whisperer.’ It’s been brutal.
One reporter’s effort to show how Trump was transforming government brought her 1,168 new sources — and nearly broke her.

never forget that fatphobia originates in white supremacy and has propagated itself as a tool of social control and one of many tactics to divide society against itself
fascists want you to be as thin as possible, if you were ever doubting the alignment with fat liberation and other forms of activism

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."
