“I think we may follow Kylo Ren through Episode 9 and see him become the hero.” Whyyyyyy Star Wars Theory whyyyyyy… At least he realizes he’s not a hero already… Well, as long as he’s not erasing Finn or shipping Reylo I suppose it’s fine for him to be mistaken about Kylo’s future… though come to think of it I can’t remember the last time he mentioned Finn, although he focuses more on the prequels than anything…

Fandom’s fixation on white heroes to the erasure of nonwhite, especially Black heroes sure as hell isn’t limited to reylows.

My WIP begins with a wizard performing a spell to erase all time up to a certain point so he can regain the upper hand by using knowledge of the previous timeline to change it. He is stopped from entering the portal as the spell activates. Flash forward to the beginning of the story, which tells everything leading up to it, until the wizard performs the spell. Only now we learn that wasn’t a flashback, it was a failed attempt to execute the spell, which reset time without keeping his knowledge.

Time travel stories make my head hurt lol. Is the wizard caught in a time loop here?

So to recap all the horrible stuff I heard this week, someone tried to assassinate left-wing political figures with pipe bombs and then proceeded to open fire on a Jewish baby blessing, and Brazil elected the most obviously fascist person ever, whose first act was to sieze books on fascism. Am I missing anything? Please don’t tell me. I don’t want to know. Why do we live in a world like this?

I’m coping by reading a novel about the literal end of the world lol I don’t think the human species deserves to exist anymore

I’m mad that Rian didn’t give Loan anything funny to do. She got her start in comedy, didn’t she? But she was so serious the whole movie except when she was fangirling over Finn for five seconds. But I guess no one in TLJ actually made a joke except Trollmaster Jake and Po Mama Soe Dameron Easy. Everyone else was just the butt of jokes. Not one clever quip in the whole film from anyone.

RJ tries so hard to be funny but he comes across as unserious instead.

To my fellow conservatives: if we can trust that the left can now recognize actual Nazis, can we please stop worrying we’ll get assaulted by Antifa and join the fight against white supremacy? These people don’t deserve to be heard any longer and if violence is the answer so be it.

Conservatives are people I disagree with. Nazis are an existential threat. Violence is only justified in the latter case, not the former.

Im sorry to say left-leaning politics doesn’t preclude fascism. Fascism exists happily on both ends of the spectrum, not just the right. Wherever the extreme becomes the majority, fascism follows. I hope Korea can stay moderate. And I hope the American people can reverse the tide of the alt-right in the midterms.

Yeah I know that, depends on the flavor of leftism I guess. If the leftists in power stay true to their commitment to free expression and human rights, then by definition their administration cannot be fascist. If political freedom is suppressed in the name of leftism, on the other hand, all bets are off. I think that’s what you mean by extremism? Don’t fuck this up, America.
