All my life I’ve been more sympathetic towards that of misunderstood monsters than of my own fellow man; for man it continually seems, are the real monsters.

Everyone at ILM was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Marcia Lucas. One of three Oscar-winning editors who worked on Star Wars: A New Hope, she also contributed to American Graffiti, among other early Lucasfilm productions. We join the global filmmaking community in mourning her loss.

“Perfection is insane. The entire tyranny of the perfect body, the perfect family, the perfect life is literally a commercial narrative. It has nothing to do with being human.”

— Guillermo del Toro

George Lucas and his wife Mellody Hobson wish everyone a happy Star Wars Day 🎊

People say there’s no magic in books but the fact that you can string words together to create a series of visions in someone else’s brain is still our greatest achievement as a species.

If one image could make our beautiful blue world seem tiny and humbling, it would be this one.

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!

The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

This is all hands on deck—Democrats, Republicans, Independents—AMERICANS must look at using any and every tool to stop the President and his unauthorized war including the 25th Amendment, Impeachment, and War Powers Resolutions. The world is watching, and history will remember.

Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the 'Momentary' masters of a 'Fraction' of a 'Dot'

I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.

To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.

[Alex & Books 📚 @AlexAndBooks_]

G. K. Chesterton on why you should read books:

“A man who has read a thousand books is armed for life; a man who has read none is easy prey. The man who has read a thousand books has lived a thousand lives. He has seen cities he has never visited, spoken to men who died centuries ago, and walked in worlds that no longer exist. Reading does not merely inform him; it enlarges him. It stretches the boundaries of his own experience until he becomes something more than himself.”

“In all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.”
