The perfect two sentence story.
When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.

Hux is even set up in Force Awakens as the biggest bad guy (I mean it's him, not Snoke or Kylo, giving the frothing villain speech before blowing up a planet).

Also, the ending of Last Jedi does not suggest Kylo Ren is becoming more evil, it suggests he's starting to get that evil hasn't gotten him anything. Hux is being set up as the final bad guy.

I loathe Rise of Skywalker, but it's not a reaction against Last Jedi (it's largely indifferent to Last Jedi). It's JJ Abrams reacting to criticism and feedback of The Force Awakens. He's calling do-overs on his own movie.
only took three posts to hit most of the major "common wisdom" ST takes that irk me

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Will one (1) reporter please ask him to name all eight wars? And then keep asking when he doesn’t answer?
Trump: "It's funny, I settled 8 wars. Some were going on for 35 years. And we got them settled in a couple of days. Some of them -- one was going on for 37 years. I settled it in one day. But this is a very complex one."

We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.

Ranking star wars movies is complicated because there are certain themes that resonate with-- no I'm kidding, in one of them an ewok hugs Han Solo's leg and says "Ay Chihuahua." So that's number one with a bullet

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.
