Oh god I feel so stupid. Thanks!

I genuinely don’t know what this is but would like to :)

It was a mini-series based on a novel by Ken Follett, but ‘The Pillars of the Earth’. It starred Eddie Redmayne.

Donating monthly. Thank you.

Movie - Episode IV/A New Hope (if I had to pick a 2nd/3rd, in no order: Episode 3 and Rogue One)

Show - Andor

Novel - oooh this is tough! The Rogue One prequel ‘Catalyst’ was fantastic, as was the Rogie One novel. ‘Lost Stars’ was another good one set in the OT timeline. There’s also Rebel Rising, about Jyn Erso’s time with Saw Guerra, and Leia: Princess of Alderaan about teenage Leia a few years before ANH showing how she gets involved with the Rebellion. And of course the OG Zahn Trilogy plus the new ones that have come out.

I did read Alphabet Squadron and thought they were good.

Game: Old school Rebellion (PC), the Jedi Knight series, of course KOTOR, Galaxies MMORPG, Galactic Battlegrounds, and I’m getting into Battlefront 2 again. I’m about to start Outlaws so we’ll see how that goes. Oh and Jedi Fallen Order, but I haven’t played Survivor yet.

Star Wars and history - in particular how Lucas had aspects of Nazi Germany and the Vietnam War because he was an anthropology student and knew that empires most often fell from within.

So yeah I’m still on a big Andor high right now, waiting for some novels and other books to drop after that.

Other books I can recommend:

Star Wars and History

The History and Politics of Star Wars - Death Stars and Democracy (the author is a World War I historian)

Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy

Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy

Oh this is interesting! Good to know, I had no idea. Thank you!

If this helps someone - I’m a woman who is not pregnant and under 65 with no serious health issues.

I made an appointment with CVS last week using their app and got the newest Covid booster yesterday. The pharmacist said they got a shipment in on Saturday.

My insurance covered it like all the ones before. Going forward who knows what will happen, but that’s my recent experience.

Well Biden’s policies made Trump have to do the tariffs - it’s not his fault!! /s

real economy

Because the dude has no concept of what reality/truth is. We just all have to live in his fucked up head canon of how the world works.

Glad I got the latest Covid booster and flu vaccine yesterday. Hope they’ll still be legal next year.

If you’re still there and not doing any proper loo business, it’s probably time to go.

Definitely gives off some incel vibes, I can see it.

Tell us what it’s like being a “fake straight”, Tucker.

Goddamn this is so fucking true. Ugh.

New Orleans

I’m a woman and years ago some makeup artist had recommended a foundation shade that was a bit too light but I didn’t notice.

So one day wearing it, I walked into Sephora and this guy working there looked at me in horror and went “Oh honey…your face is a different shade from the rest of your body…”

I saw it then and changed things up. But seeing the picture in the article that’s immediately what I thought back to… “Oh honey…”

Oh how interesting! I didn’t know about her before this - thanks OP!

I just watched something earlier that showed a clip of him saying how he was warning everyone early on about the dangers of AI because he was genuinely scared of the harm it could do.

Glad he’s not a hypocrite or anything.
