@devincf I was genuinely surprised, too. Letting a kids cartoon about toys be aimed at actual children feels like such a fresh take after watching them chase after the horny teen audience for so long
@devincf Look, I really dug this show. It's the best SW show outside of Andor, but didn't its finale have the lowest viewership of all SW TV? I think this had less to do with toxic fans and everything to do with being very expensive with too small an audience
@devincf I saw a fan edit of Into Darkness that did a damned good job of fixing a lot of what's wrong with that film, but there's no fixing that 3rd act. Rise of Skywalker is unfixable because Leia can't really be a part of the movie and all the pandering
@BrooksEakin He wants to save himself from disappearing into obscurity. He's lost all credibility after the voting machine lawsuit exposed him as a man willing to say whatever it takes to stay in the public eye. Sucking up to bullies and despots is his only option left
@BrooksEakin Tucker's angle is licking the boots of every dictator he comes across in the hope that being a sniveling henchman to evil will somehow save him.
@WH_Woolhat I believe so. It's so strange not to see Takei on there, but, if he wants to insist that he was playing a straight man, I guess they gotta respect his wishes.
@WH_Woolhat Flash Fact: Giving Barry Allen Mommy issues did not make him more interesting. The notion that heroes need tragedy to motivate their altruism is deeply cynical.
A team of Israeli contractors who claim to have manipulated more than 30 elections around the world using hacking, sabotage and automated disinformation on social media has been exposed in a new investigation. https://t.co/CvjdrHSdEl
@MMBTVS @DiIapidavid Same here. I acknowledge that my situation is not the norm though. Finding a job in which hard work is rewarded isn't something that's very common
@BrooksEakin What's the breaking point here? How long can a minority of Americans wrest more power through blatantly undemocratic means before you've got full blown Civil War?
@BrooksEakin Trying to explain this to my students is so heartbreaking. This is worse than when I had to explain how Trump won with a minority of the vote.
