The ST faceplanted with everybody, period, kids didn't even want the toys other than BB-Z or whatever it was. It didn't even generate cringe memes, just people vaguely remembering shitty girlboss characters ruining the movie and Rian Johnson just showing the audience his ass for 2 hours.

The only reason I know anything about the final movie (which I still haven't watched) is because of cringe memes: "Somehow Palpatine Returned," "They fly now?" etc.

TLJ isn't really memeable because Rian made the movie he set out to make, with malice. But the man had his vision for the movie. In contrast, it seems JJ's last movie was an incoherent mess.
 
The same people who cowered in fear from their Crusades cosplay a week ago when Trump wanted to finally fuck up Iran in a near permanent manner are now the ones acting like they are unable to understand a joke and a spotlight being shone on the rot in the Church. Pussies.

Somehow real dead babies for decades aren’t as bad as shitposting. Massive unitarian vibes there, biblical aura loss.

The last movie…

It’s literally just nothing. I saw it twice. The second time because I got so drunk the first time I forgot most of it.

The second time didn’t help. I still forget most of it. Intro, go right to the palpy line, some forgettable quest to find Palpy, oh wait Luke had it, oh shit Palpy has copy pasted infini-star destroyers with a cheat code, big battle, hey look it’s ROTJ but the brightness is too low and retarded, horses charge the super star destroyer

HORSES

CHARGE

THE

SUPER STAR DESTROYER

Oh yeah they all have Death Star lasers now fuck you rebellion.

Rei is Girl!Palpy, Kylo sacrifices himself to bring her back to life, Palpy dies again he was the load bearing Big Bad so everything evil dies.

Rei goes to live on Tatty, calls herself Skywalker because her real name is kinda tainted.

oh yeah leia dies and Chewie don’t care or something I dunno

No spoiler tag because no one should watch it.
 
158-Year-Old Home Distilling Ban Struck Down

A U.S. appeals court on Friday declared unconstitutional a nearly 158-year-old federal ban on home distilling, calling it an unnecessary and improper means for Congress to exercise its power to tax. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled in favor of the nonprofit Hobby Distillers Association and four of its 1,300 members.

They argued that people should be free to distill spirits at home, whether as a hobby or for personal consumption including, in one instance, to create an apple-pie-vodka recipe. The ban was part of a law passed during Reconstruction in July 1868, in part to thwart liquor tax evasion, and subjected violators to up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Writing for a three-judge panel, Circuit Judge Edith Hollan Jones said the ban actually reduced tax revenue by preventing distilling in the first place, unlike laws that regulated the manufacture and labeling of distilled spirits on which the government could collect taxes.

She also said that under the government's logic, Congress could criminalize virtually any in-home activity that might escape notice from tax collectors, including remote work and home-based businesses.

There was plenty of Exended Universe material to draw on to do just that. Something based on a blend of Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire and Kevin J. Anderson's Jedi Academy trilogies could have been fire.

There's one problem: using EU stuff meant that Disney would have had to pay royalties and they had no intention of doing that after paying $4 billion for Star Wars.

So they intentionally salted the earth on ALL that material. Well, besides raping Thrawn. What did they do instead?
The Ugly One dijo:
But I'll give it this, the kiddos loved it. Whatever they did captured the kids' imaginations, and they could not get enough of Darth Maul toys.

The ST faceplanted with everybody, period, kids didn't even want the toys other than BB-Z or whatever it was. It didn't even generate cringe memes, just people vaguely remembering shitty girlboss characters ruining the movie and Rian Johnson just showing the audience his ass for 2 hours.

Kathleen Kennedy managed to slaughter the goose laying the golden egg and burned that goose while they were at it. It's amazing how she managed to make space wizards with laser swords boring but she pulled it off.
 

"US military says it will blockade Iranian ports after ceasefire talks ended without agreement"​


Just Iranian ports? So people will sail in, get raped by Iranian missiles if they don't pay the fees, or get raped by US boats after paying the fee if they want to go into Iran. Either way, what a disaster. Is this the best the US government can do?

Yes, total MAGA victory. Disregard the logistics or any other real life complication, really. Price for a gallon reduced from 2 to 5$

Sadly, that is likely to be the inevitable defense of Trumps outright heresy.

I just told someone that the reason their religion doesn't like dogs is because one time a stray started barking at the prophet while he was being buttfucked, alerting the neighbors.
We really don't have to be so damned serious about this kind of thing. Do you really want to worship a God who is?
