The devaluing and crushing of art and artists has created the perfect environment for dehumanization, corporate control, a culture of self-service and transactional behavior, and has undermined our ability to imagine a better future than our present.

It’s hard to overstate how devastating it’s been

But wait, I thought you couldn't have political Star Wars without being a prestige drama with sprawling monologues and intense grit!

Naturally, the hate mill is already rolling again, especially on that other website.

Guys, it's okay to admit you no longer enjoy Star Wars (or, at least, certain flavors of it) and has grown out of that universe.

There's a whole boundless world of other stories out there to enjoy and celebrate.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

“Hey, you, legendary actor, you know this thing you just worked hard on? Well it could never be as good as this other thing.”

It’s not just journalistic malpractice. It’s also just plain rude.
