I work on Internet text boxes with mixed results. Examples include: Blogger, Google, Twitter, Obvious, Medium, the Obama White House.

The thing is ... I love this site. It's the most favorite thing I've ever worked on. I wrote this almost the same week I started working on Twitter (then Obvious 1.0). Despite everything I still believe it. And I still believe no matter what the dream won't die here.

Vader in ANH is basically a management consultant who can recommend firings

[constans @constans]

Vader is great in Episode IV because he doesn’t seem to be in the chain of command but everyone has to stay in his good side. Meanwhile he’s lecturing imperial officers about The Force and they’re all like, “who is this asshole?”

The Scott Pelley story to me is a lesson in how if you work hard enough in your career to get Fuck You Money, the real reward is the day you need to say it, you can

I’m Kid Rock.”
“I’m Naomi Wolf.”
“I’m Kanye West.”
“I’m Matt Taibbi.”
“I’m Catturd. Those stories, plus Rob Schneider, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

Luke turning himself in to Vader on Endor and thinking “I’m here alone” will cover the secret Rebel mission to destroy the 2nd Death Star it is a wild opsec choice.

Give me your best Star Wars nitpicks. No reasonable criticisms or analysis, I'm talking real pedantic here.

[Escape Hatch @escapehatchpod]

Both the ritual of going to the movies with friends AND the type of original storytelling happening in them have changed. Old men shake fist at sky.

This was an amazing pod and for 2001 film pod guys this moment is quite literally the best it’ll ever be.

Is this @SeanFennessey's Apex Mountain?

[Ned Price @nedprice]

The biggest news isn't that Trump is appointing someone without a national security background to a position that, by law, requires "extensive" experience. It's that Pulte earned Trump's trust by using **mortgage** records to pursue perceived political enemies. Now this top henchman will have access to some of our most sensitive intelligence and exquisite capabilities. That's why this is so noteworthy -- and concerning.

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

[Escape Hatch @escapehatchpod]

We are shook about the new Star Wars movie.

[Jason Goldman @goldman]

Important reminder when arguing about Star Wars that the canonical Huttese translation for “dancing girl” is “chik youngee”

[Shane • Star Wars 5W @StarWars5W]

There was a scene in The Mandalorian & Grogu where the Twins say "Pay the hunter." in Huttese and if you listen closely you hear them say "murishani moulee-rah" which are the words for "bounty hunter" and "money" as defined in Ben Burtt's 2001 Galactic Phrase Book & Travel Guide!

@VanLathan I’m down with the Obi Wan is the GOAT thesis but idk if you needed force sensitivity to know Anakin was too horned up

[Eneasz Brodski @EneaszWrites]

Me and nine friends are going to the library today, to walk in and out 100x each. It'll cost the city $47,000 dollars.
We're willing to stand down for just $10k.
Your call, SF. You have 10 hours to decide.

[Escape Hatch @escapehatchpod]

First young girls were in the cross-hairs of social media targeting, with all their worst fears being manipulated to drive purchasing decisions. Now it's young boys' turn.

Loll I literally never leave E anyway

[Lauren Self @laurenlself]

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?

[Escape Hatch @escapehatchpod]

As a leading YA author, Soman speaks at a lot of high schools, and he's seeing something different in today's kids.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

13 US service members dead. Hundreds more wounded. Thousands of Iranian civilians dead. Thousands wounded. $50+ billion wasted to leave Iran in a stronger geopolitical position and the IRGC more entrenched. Mock this clown out of the room before he can advocate for another war.

Yall wanted post mortems but forgot to specific no 2024 books.
