Occasional feelings about Star Wars and other nerd stuff from someone who actually enjoys things. See also: sports posting including KC Current, USWNT, Mizzou, and probably a lot more. Trying to have good opinions.

the list of people in the US military who haven't directly or indirectly been part of committing egregious war crimes by the end of this administration is going to be a short one

During that long delay in this Fleet and Sirens game, the music selections in the arena were exceptionally funny

Sorry, no Juneteenth from the Current, they couldn't figure out how to monetize it.

One had many jobs, including union auto worker for GM and longtime employee of the VFW, other one was a postman for USPS. Both pretty cool as far as grandpas go

Two players that seem the most terrifying to be running with ball on this USWNT are Emma Sears and Alyssa Thompson imo

Ally had been working for that goal the whole match, LFG!!

Always be a little weird to hear a calm, well-informed, common-sense response to a political question and think "how come there are only like 6 elected officials in Washington willing and able to say this."

Rodman being right next to the field mic was really horrible timing for that. I hate this.

Jameese Joseph set up Sears' run with her work rate and then just got denied a first USWNT goal by a bad offside call, rude

obviously this is baked into all of this nonsense but it’s so disorienting to see politicians of a country that dropped nukes twice wag their finger at any other country having them

It’s truly shocking how little this aspect is being reported.

The supposed rationale for this war are conditions Trump willfully created all by himself to no benefit whatsoever.

I was a child the last time the US used this rationale to start a war in the Middle East and kill untold amounts of innocent people. I'm 32 and they're doing it again, because none of these people ever learn anything and have convinced themselves this will be the one that works.

i think one of the most frustrating things about all of this is that there are people who can stop it, and they don’t even have to do anything grand or heroic, they just need to do their fucking jobs

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal
must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you

β€œPeople on here say sports are not political” this website has the juice because the stupids can and do post on it, we made it

"is this show good? FUCK YOU" is a perfect summation of how incredible it is, it is the only reason I am gonna start paying for apple TV next month when the new season comes out

Fullcast talking about my favorite absolutely insane show is exactly what I needed today, thanks y'all

I think this Olympics is finally gonna be the one that makes me a permanent figure skating and hockey fan* after all this time, the drama everywhere was incredible

(this likely means just the PWHL, I'll be real)

Panda routine was everything, this man is truly an Olympic champion

Italian pairs team hitting the macarena, YMCA, and cotton eye joe successively while throwing in an element where the man was balancing his partner on his head while spinning has ME spinning. Incredible to just do that for fun

I'm catching up on the figure skating gala and every second of this is absolute joy. Cell block tango program, Ilia doing a backflip while Free Bird plays, KPop demon hunters program???? And yes, I can't wait for the panda one that I have seen many pictures of on here already πŸ˜‚

I have read and loved every single Rodger Newsletter these Games. Penisgate, Messy Biathalon, Curling Swears, Alysa Liu being the coolest person ever, and now perhaps his crowning analytical achievement: NORWAY OR NO WAY

(the answer is socialism in youth sports)

I think this applies to most winter Olympic athletes, but the freestyle skiers and snowboarders simply have turned the part of their brain off that's like "hmm maybe do NOT try that" and I mean...I'm terrified for them and I respect it all at once.

I cannot believe he just got up and walked away after how hard he smacked the top of the wall! Trying a literally never done before trick!
