ways Rogue One is a Thanksgiving movie:
- complicated family trauma with Jyn's dad working for the Empire
- found family helps misfits find purpose
- that moment when Cassian says "welcome home" to Jyn??
- movie inevitably leads to arguments about data storage formats (classic Thanksgiving fare)
- that one problematic mocap relative (dead Peter Cushing)
- Alan Tudyk

time to watch the most Thanksgiving movie of all, Rogue One A Star Wars Story (2016)

My boldest take is that America doesn't actually have a "left" in any cohesive politically organized sense and it's weird to complain about "the left" or "leftists" as a single group

What most people call "the left" in media and analysis is either progressive Democrats (who are a minority within their own party) or People on Social Media Who Disagree With Them (hold leftist values/have leftist praxis but don't actually constitute a mass political party or organizing force)

turning a leftover sandwich's fillings into an omelette is such a game changer

Fellas, you ever get overwhelmed by all the multi scalar theorizing and pondering of that which could be otherwise

First trip down to Delaware for school stuff since my dog died and can't stop thinking about how if I hadn't done that day trip I would have had a few more hours with her

Once again thinking about how Tommy Pickles' mom in Rugrats has the maiden name Kropotkin and is a first gen daughter of Russian immigrants meaning Tommy Pickles might be a descendant of the author of Mutual Aid

also did someone post about Perfect Sentences bc we got a weird spike in subscribers on Wednesday

I've been sad all day but a neighbor friend texted me to see if I'd eaten and brought me a sandwich, so that's helping a little

So many hard days I got out of bed because of her. I'm very scared that the coming years will break me, not sure how I'm going to keep living without her.

At the "crying while curled up in my dead dog's crate with her blanket because it still smells a little like her" stage of grief

How do we get the incoming administration to whistleblow on Boeing

If Brennan Lee Mulligan got hella jacked and shaved his head I think he'd actually have a good shot of becoming the Joe Rogan of the left

between the literal darkness coming earlier and the rhetorical darkness broadcast daily I am really not at 100% here

not uniquely bad news today just uh acknowledgment that the nation of Lebanon as they've known it in their lifetime is basically over, sure
