I love the ‘pre-2010s internet’ vibe the Fediverse gives off, but I’m frustrated with how impenetrable it seems for a non-tech person. If I want a community of like-minded people anywhere near there it seems like I’ll have to build it from scratch.

If you're applying the rules "because they're the rules", then you don't understand the rules well enough to apply them.

Rareware DK looks like he belongs on Baywatch. New DK looks like he's voiced by both Seth Rogen and Patrick Warburton.

Whoa. In a single moment — not even a 30-second scene! — they just showed us how the galactic senate is dissolved by ANH (only 3 years later). This is Sidious's influence to the core, and a deliciously relevant audiovisual bite of the Empire's fascism.

A house of vanity
