The bartender at my local pub is from Cork. His response to anyone ordering an Irish Car Bomb: "Can't make you that, but I can make a 9/11. It's just two kamikazes dropped in a Manhattan."

The fact that Trump is actually weakly attempting to pretend he doesn’t back Project 2025 = EXACTLY why you need to be telling everyone you know about their evil, violent plans.

Oh he posts urbanist memes and then occasionally intersperses egregious racist shit. He used to be Chi Numtot on Twitter and then changed his handle. Someone else sniped it.

Oh I just figured it was that tool because I can’t see his posts and he blocked me as soon as he joined BlueSky, like before we ever interacted.

Right. I figured the plan was abandoned after Episode I, but that article indicates the conversions continued until 2015, so why haven’t they been put out since on digital or streaming?

This first popped back into my brain when I went to check is Phantom Menace 3D was available on Disney+ for the Vision Pro. (It is not.) I’d love to know why those haven’t seen even a home release. Will they with the return to theaters?

Over on Twitter, Itamar Ben Gvir is openly admitting to genocidal actions and yet there are still people in and around this administration trying to pretend like that’s not exactly whats going on.

I find the trend of recording and repurposing @jimlee.bsky.social’s inside panel, back cover, and promotional illustrations as new cover arts to be hilarious.

It’s a shrewd and cynical way to do things but they’re so gorgeous I really don’t mind.
