Unsatisfied With Being Wrong About Star Wars, George Lucas Decided to be Wrong About John Wayne

He keeps remembering things creatively: Lucas says Han shooting first in the Mos Eisley cantina — which is what happened in the original edit of 1977’s debut Star Wars film — ran against the character’s principles. “Han Solo was going to marry Leia, and you look back and say, ‘Should he be a cold-blooded killer?’”… Read More Unsatisfied With Being Wrong About Star Wars, George Lucas Decided to be Wrong About John Wayne

Knock it off, nerds. More than a month ago, I made some jokes about Star Wars on Red Eye, a satirical political comedy show that airs at 3 a.m., and it has resulted in me being verbally abused and told to die by a mob of enraged fans for the past four days now. The… Read More Anyone Who’s Offended by Anyone on Red Eye is Too Stupid to Watch Star Wars

So, Germans Are Making Nazi Sounds Again…

So sayeth the Telegraph (h/t Vox Day). One recording purports to show a uniformed security guard speaking of getting “swastikas in my eyes”. “In two years, there will be a revolution here and there will be no more of all this s***. We’ll clean it all out,” the guard, who has not been named, appears… Read More So, Germans Are Making Nazi Sounds Again…

Atheist Mysogynist Dudebros and Godless Misandrist Tumblrinas

A nice laugh of a headline from RS McCain. The post in question goes into the fact that even shared anti-theism can’t bring radfems and RedPillers together. Everything’s a contest of who hates who more.

The Train is Fine. The Point is Missed.

This starts as a joke on the Onion News Network, back in 2011 when that was a thing: It’s funny, but it’s not brilliantly funny. The joke is that the autistic guy does not get that the story is about the dead guy and not about the train. That’s sorta funny. Mean, but funny. It’s… Read More The Train is Fine.

Italian Robbers Kindly Reassure They’re Victims “We Are Not Isis”

According to La Stampa, as reported in Yahoo News. On a lighter note, the La Stampa daily reported that a gang of masked robbers had stormed into a bank shouting: “Relax, we are not Isis.

Comparing Apple Music and Spotify, angrily.

The definition of first world problems, sure, but if you want to pay money to curate your own music streaming experience, it’s good info. I like the snark at the top. For me, the only legitimate choices seem to be Spotify and Apple Music. I’ve chosen not to test other streaming services like Google Play… Read More Comparing Apple Music and Spotify, angrily.

Hoplophobia in extremis

Amusing post at the Gun-Free Zone. Sure, he wants to send gun owners to Syria to defend America, but I doubt would want CCW permit holders to defend him or themselves in his local shopping mall. Disdain does not require logic.
