Really sick of everyone calling Rotta a nepo baby just because he was born into a slug crime family.
That wasn't his choice, and he's made himself into every bit the Hutt that some of the other main Hutts are. (Durga the Hutt, His Mama the Hutt, etc.)
A romping weekend read from @thewesternedge.bsky.social.
In the small town of St. Helens, Oregon, where the news media is on life support, corruption thrived.
2,500 pages of new documents have finally revealed the clear story of what happened when Brian Greenway came for Halloweentown.

I got to interview Bruce last week—a dream.
Generous with his time and stories. Sincere and kind right up until the moment he was doing some goofy bit, which was in itself another form of kindness.
Heal up, Bruce. The world needs you.
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
Extremely bummed to see Andrew go. Obviously a top-tier writer but also a skilled and supportive editor in my experience.
Any arts/culture publication would be lucky to have him! Make that happen!
Ah, we've reached nostalgia for events that were roundly disappointing and annoying when they happened.
He could absolutely win the presidency of Orange County.
My favorite Chuck analysis of the 2025-26 season.
Five years ago, I published my first book! It’s about feminism & theology & the Alien movies. I’ve since seen Alien Romulus, which I’m both delighted and horrified to say lives up to my grand unified thesis about the films. I wrote a second edition in response. Signed copies can be preordered here.
Next you'll tell me they wanna move The Bone Temple to France.
And my personal favorite:
Sarah and I joke fairly often about the "Curb" bit where Ted Danson takes a stab at Oscar bait.
Then, the other day, we pulled up Danson's filmography to see if maybe Larry was more pointedly making fun of him for starring in fake-looking movies.
The answer? My god.
On the virtues of taking as much damn time as you want. There are no rules.
Because the ... numbers got too small to measure?
Among the best directorial debuts of all time.

Oregon Public Broadcasting is one of the crown jewels of public media in the US. This is a shot across its bow.
While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.
I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
I am of course hoping for the best for this Portland institution but I was pretty excited to have an excuse to link to @stevenhyden.bsky.social’s wonderful review of the Garth Brooks Box Set You Could Only Buy At Bass Pro Shops: www.wweek.com/music/2026/0...
they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
if Martin Scorsese and Fran Lebowitz agree that you seem like you could've owned an ice cream truck, you've done something right
What's funnier than Catherine doing the harmony part 10x louder than the melody line?

take a second to really wrap your head around this.
This is sour Husker grapes talking, but nothing says "I'm moving on to great things" like opening a biohazard bucket.
I am once again asking you to cancel your Prime account
It is literally the least you can do
