This in-universe work features the voices, words, & experiences of starfighter pilots from both the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire.

Most importantly it is produced by probably the greatest star pilot in history: Wedge Antilles. He gives us an unrivalled level of insight and expertise.

Remember, folx: if you think you are too smart not to get scammed, you are *wrong.* If you think you're too clever not to get scammed, it is very likely you are actively being scammed *right now.*

Propaganda is another kind of scam, and it's just as dangerous.

The Seattle Torrent set a new U.S. arena record for a women’s hockey game with 17,335 fans at their first-ever Climate Pledge Arena sellout on Friday night versus the Toronto Sceptres.

This is the third time the PWHL has broken the U.S. arena attendance record this season.

D.C. sat just far enough southwest to miss it. Meanwhile Baltimore, Philly, NYC & Boston are now above normal on the season β€” we’re still a bit below.

Providence got more snow in one storm than we’ve seen in the last four winters combined.

β€˜Andor’ Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn’t During Its Release While promoting his cautionary tale about fascism, Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from using the word. Nine months after it aired its finale, the 'Star Wars' series feels scarily prescient.

Great interview with the creator of Andor, Tony Gilroy.

In 1971, a 30-year-old Neal Adams sat down to crank out a Superman cover for Julie Schwartz. Took him an hour or so. It became one of the most iconic comic book covers of all time. Coming up at Heritage soon. Might be a million dollar piece.

Graphic with Long Lead branding and text, "The creators of the internet had been right. Its utility was in bringing people together, and in that respect it was just a tool, powerful in the execution of both good and evil." -Garrett Graff, Host of LONG SHADOW: BREAKING THE INTERNET

The web was a tool created to bring the world together. It opened lines of communication and allowed for new thoughts to be shared worldwide. But just as it brought people together, it allowed for a firehose of hoaxes, conspiracy theories, and lies to spread, dividing people and their viewpoints.

The problem with believing vaccines are dangerous is that by the time you realize you’re wrong, it’s too late and someone you love dies of a preventable disease.

Florida is about to find this out the hard way.
