Since Star Wars is trending today, a good time to rewatch this fantastic speech from Andor. Almost like it has some relevance to the current state of things.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia.
1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.
2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague.
3. Russia pays everyone for everything.
4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Still about my favourite Xmas movie.
Scrooged was released on this date 37 years ago. Directed by Richard Donner and starring Bill Murray as a selfish and cynical TV exec, the film reportedly had a tumultuous production with Murray and Donner clashing over differing visions, but it nevertheless proved commercially successful.
