The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

It could either be Logan, or The Wolverine  :P

Habbaku

It says he's writing this one!  :P

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Only if it gets to be released.
So far, there's been half a dozen announced Star Wars movies that haven't seen the light of the day.

Oh, ye of little faith! Dumb and Dumber's trilogy is on the way any day now!

Screen Crush have a decent video about the Ahsoka trailer - primarily summarizing the events of the appearing characters from Clone Wars and Rebels (i.e. major spoilers for those shows if you haven't seen them):

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Incidentally, I loved the music for the trailer, sounded like a trailerized version of Mike Richter's soundtracks. I presume there's no chance they are going with that for the show.

Btw, Lars Mikkelsen will play Thrawn in Ahsoka (he also voiced him in Rebels).

Yeah, just saw the announcement. Excellent choice, he was great in Rebels.

Seems Kevin Kiner is going to do the soundtrack for Ahsoka - his work on S2 of Bad Batch (regardless of what you think of the Season itself) was stellar, so looking forward to this. :)

I really need to pick up Bad Batch again. I was just bored halfway season 2 - but I've heard it improves later on.

make of it what you want but it's hardly news that the Star Wars brand has taken quite a few punches the last few years

Is it one of those channels were they believe diversity and political correctness has destroyed Star Wars instead of terrible scripts and aimless storytelling?

Have a look, decide for yourself.

as an aside:
maybe it should be considered that the terrible scrips and aimless storytelling are caused, among other things, by political correctness.
