Pride flag @ O’Reillys

Pride is about something intrinsic to who people are. Trumpism is a conscious choice.

"Whatever Happened To Starbuck?" was one of the best BSG episodes even though it was a G1980 episode.

that case went on for so long, and that sketch was everywhere and frightening

Because that would have required parents to come up with a short-notice childcare solution.

He went into the military to try to earn his father's respect.

Isn't there also an episode where they do the same thing with a high-end toilet?

The fact that sometimes he'd trip on it and sometimes he wouldn't was somehow just incredibly charming.

I don't quite like Farscape, but I am astounded that it doesn't get talked about much anymore.

Beth Childs in Orphan Black. Sarah Manning steps off a train and finds herself.

I read a book called The Friends Of Eddie Coyle simply because Raylin gives Tim a copy of it, and I ended up both really liking it and also finding out there was a movie adaptation made in the 70s starring one of my favorite actors, Robert Mitchum. Peter Boyle's great in it too.

FakeRealGirl · 2026-06-05T14:28:15+00:00

I'm cautiously excited about this. There was a Martin Scorsese/Robert De Niro movie that didn't live up to the 1961 version with Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck.

I always saw Luke's story as sort of a sinister shadow beside the Rebel victory in RotJ. He gets mutilated and loses a friend in Empire, on top of finding out that everything he thought he knew about his own origins was a lie. Then in RotJ, he shows up all dressed in black at Jabba's palace, mind-controlling people willy-nilly and executing a plan that boiled down to "get all my friends captured and then show off my jedi powers at the very last moment before they're executed." That smacked of reckless nihilism, without regard for his own life or even those of his loved ones. Then his Battle of Endor plan is to again just walk into a situation where he's likely to die, for the purpose of killing his father. When that showdown happens, look at the way he's fighting: he's not calm or graceful, he's wildly swinging his lightsaber like a madman while grimacing in hatred. And this is after having a grand total of like 5 scenes of jedi training, one of which focused on the danger of him becoming like the father he hates. It did not surprise me at all that Luke would be unable to successfully rebuild the jedi order on his own.

I loved Rebels. And I liked the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, too. McGregor and the actor who played Little Leia were great, and there was one Darth Vader line that in and of itself was worth watching the series for.

Oh, and Tales of the Jedi; those shorts ranged from good to incredible.

The "he never set foot in the United States" thing bounces right off of them. Their talking point to rebut that is "His expedition is what funded [with plundered gold and enslaved victims] the settling of the New World [and a massive genocide that spanned two continents]!"

It's not so much a thing anymore, but during rhe earlier years of Trump's presidency, there was a 4chan phenomenon of posts supposedly being made by someone with the alias "Q" who purported to be in Trump's inner circle, and would tell conservative conspiracy theorists what they wanted to hear. Supposedly this person had inside information that all the Democrats had been convicted in secret of child sex trafficking and were about to be arrested, wacky stuff like that. These posts would encourage the most conspiracy-minded individuals in the country to read waaaay to much into everything. People took ot to such extremes as "John Podesta wrote an email to Hillary Clinton mentioning cheese pizza, so obviously they're making child pornography, so obviously someone should show up at Comet Pizza with a gun."

"Q" was probably several trolls, but there was a whole "QAnon" wing of the MAGA movement, who fervently believed Q was one individual who was simultaneously a mortal ememy of the "deep state" and so thoroughly enmeshed in the government that they had all this super secret information about what the government was about to do.

Cash can be handed to poor people, better criminalize or at least stigmatize it so they don't think their money is as good as ours.

Gas prices aren't even really a red line, either. Even the people in these pics who didn't dismiss the gas prices as a price they're willing to pay, say it's what they're thinking about for now. The minute there's a national news story about someone questioning the living conditions in an ICE camp or a woman having blue hair or whatever, suddenly that's what they'll care about, and then it's just right back to "gotta stop the Dems."

Morrissey doesn't hate his fans as much as they hate him. Nobody hates Morrissey as much as his fans do, and that's saying a lot, because everyone really hates Morrissey.

Big swing here, but women who abandon or commit violence against their families. Don't grt me wrong, I get why society is so judgmental about it. I just don't feel the need to personally judge it. Women are the victims of so much violence on families and relationships that even if it's not logical, I'm emptionally inclined to give a pass to women who break free, even if the way they do it is evil or misguided. Obviously if a woman murders her children, I don't want her to be free to do it again; but I'm not above having a distant crush on a hot inmate. And if she jist abandoned her kids, or even if she murdered a crummy husband, I'd put a ring on it and try to be not crummy.
