If you are still claiming that Luke "defaulted to murder" in The Last Jedi then you literally stopped watching the movie halfway through. You are basing your entire argument on Kylo Ren’s biased memory instead of what actually happened.
The movie uses the Rashomon effect which means we see the same event from three different perspectives. Kylo’s version shows a murderous assassin because that is how he felt in that moment. But the actual truth is that Luke had a momentary reflex of instinct that he immediately regretted. He never swung the saber. He never intended to kill Ben. He stopped himself because that is who Luke Skywalker is.
It is wild to me that people act like Luke was never impulsive before. This is the same guy who nearly hacked Vader to pieces in a blind rage on the Death Star. The difference is that in the temple he caught himself even faster. If you hate the movie because you believed the villain’s unreliable narrator version of the story then the joke is kind of on you. Focus on the actual text instead of the memes.
Seth Meyers reminds us how batshit crazy the last 3 weeks have been: Trump fired AG Pam Bondi. He posted a meme of himself as Jesus then said he thought it was a meme of himself as a doctor. He said the Pope is weak on crime. A MAGA podcaster said Trump is under demonic influence. Pete Hegseth read a fake bible verse from Pulp Fiction. Kash Patel thought he was fired because he got locked out of his computer. A FEMA official claims he once teleported to a Waffle House. Lindsey Graham was seen at Disney World by himself. RFK Jr. cut off a dead raccoon’s penis on the side of the road. Kristi Noem’s husband has giant fake balloon boobs.
Sky full of stars.
Following a successful lunar flyby, the Artemis II astronauts captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way, on April 7, 2026.
@fandompulse@InDeepGeek@nerdoftherings1 The both have videos titled “What was Aragon’s tax policy” and “what happened to all the orcs” lol. Google search exists!
@fandompulse There are swaths of Tolkien scholars who’ve covered this and loremasters on YT who explain this stuff in detail based on decades of those scholar’s studies. @InDeepGeek and @nerdoftherings1 specifically do a fantastic job.
IDG also does expansive ASOIAF breakdowns too FWIW.
(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people.
OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted?
A thread on some of of our findings:
nasa employee: oh hey u guys are back early
astronaut: moon's haunted
nasa employee: what?
astronaut: *loading a pistol and getting back on the rocket-ship* moon's haunted
