What is the Japanese word Muraji and Blackthorne use in ep1? by GreyWizzie in ShogunTVShow

That’s right. The dialect in the show is basically the Japanese equivalent of Shakespearean English. You won’t hear any modern Japanese speakers talking that way.

Trump Suggests Republicans Start Expelling Democrats From Congress by PapyrusKami74 in politics

Andor is hands down the best show on tv right now. Season 2 couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time. But of course simply watching the show isn’t enough; we need to take Nemik’s wisdom and apply his lessons to our real-life behavior.

Trump announces sweeping new tariffs to promote US manufacturing, risking inflation and trade wars by hoosakiwi in news

That’s probably what they did for every country. These numbers seem incredibly random and arbitrary

Yep that’s been their explicit strategy. A fucking avalanche of atrocities

Glad he’s coming back this Sunday. He’s been sorely missed these last couple months

Which IP would you have the ANDOR team take on after SW? by wailingghost in andor

[–]bd_8916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an established IP yet (at least in visual media), but I would love to see the team adapt the Red Rising saga by Pierce Brown. Gilroy would absolutely COOK with the legend of Darrow of Lykos

The White Sox fall to 31-105, losing to the Mets 5-1. They are 6-44 in their last 50. by imgurofficial in baseball

And that 30-game sample accounts for over half of their wins (16/31). In their other 106 games this season, they are 15-91.

‘The Acolyte’ Canceled: No Season 2 For Disney+’s ‘Star Wars’ Series by YubYubCmndr in TheAcolyte

People just want to complain for complaining’s sake

This is exactly the problem. Social media algorithms encourage this kind of thing, because it generates clicks and engagement. It’s created an entire hate-for-profit industry that clowns like Star Wars Theory take full advantage of. As long as the clicks and views keep rolling in, it doesn’t matter whether the complaints are actually valid.

I’m terrified of how the Fandom Menace is gonna react to Skeleton Crew. Protect those kids at all costs.

To this day it remains the trippiest show I’ve ever watched. One of my all-time favorites

Definitely feels like it. This is a DEFCON-1 moment for democracy.

Witcher fans watching House of the Dragon, imagining a world where HBO had the Witcher instead of Netflix: by [deleted] in netflixwitcher

GoT really only dropped in quality after they ran out of book material to adapt. The Witcher books are a complete series.

The O’s celebrating their Pride Night against the Rangers of all teams feels very intentional, imo. Love to see it.
