More George Lucas parallelism. It's literally the entire prequel trilogy, not just Padme running in a field
An accurate summation of Star Wars lore regarding the Sith. Whether we're talking George Lucas' original intention, the EU lore, or Disney lore.
The Sith can never fully win because they literally can't get out of their own way. They don't believe in friends, only temporarily useful allies to be disposed of later.
I feel like this gets under represented in terms of modern girl power feminist "yas kween" slop.
American women, when they aren't libtarded (fleetingly rare these days), are just built different.
Not to anywhere near the same degree as the Rebellion, but yes.
Quite a few women acted as political advisors, scouts, spies, marksmen, political party founders & leaders, Mulan-style soldiers, bank rollers, and so on. One of them, a woman named Nancy Hart (sharpshooter), did an Uno Reverse and invited British Soldiers in for loggings so she could capture them as war prisoners for the Continent Army to bargain with.
It was everyone vs the British Empire during The Revolutionary War. Men, women, children (teenagers), native tribes, slaves, etc. One 16 year old girl rode 40 miles at night to warn Connecticut's militias about a coming British attack.

We would like to draw attention to Jdawg's essay, once more, valuable work done by a Gamer, addressing public policy questions impacting gaming. See reshare/comment.
Essay here: gbamfs.org/_files/ugd/bedae8…
Also @X @Support, please note the almost two week period of false 'Inauthentic,' account restriction suffered by our founder @JdawgKaiSigma amid public policy questions being raised and addressed by our group around gaming and Welfare policy
@FEC You may view the provided context in the comments.
I note that my comment ban coincided with the release of my essay on American Labor, and peak election season here. Being a public advocate on issues that impact policy, I believe the continued blackout of my comments constitutes public information interference. I object, @FEC
Heather Morris was Beyonce's main backup dancer who was brought in to teach the Single Ladies choreo for an episode. They decided to keep her around as a choreographer and background extra... At least until they realized she could both sing and act too. At that point she slowly turned into a main character.
This is what I mean by the magic of the show being, to a degree, an accident. Like half of the original mains were hired to be something else, or were hired last minute and had their characters written around their talents mid-production. That sort of magic cannot be replicated, which is part of why the 2nd gen cast fell so flat.
2nd gen cast was good, but corporate. 1st gen cast was organic.
Also, on a personal level about this performance, am I the only one whose eyes immediately gravitate towards Quinn the second her and her yellow sundress come into frame? Diana is killing that choreo and the sundress is beautiful and especially stands out next to everyone else.
She's like a really classy banana breaking it down with the best of them.

Turns out all those nerdy white engineers the MBAs replaced the jeets were load-bearing and now a good portion of the net is going to collapse lmao
I spent last night watching my honeypot server get hit 14,000 times in six hours.
And almost none of the traffic was human.
I've been in security for over a decade, and I can tell you with full honesty that what's happening right now doesn't resemble anything I've worked through before.
The shape of the threat has changed.
When I started, we tracked attackers like weather systems like individual storms with a direction, a motive, and a human operator you could eventually name.
These days I'm watching autonomous agents swarm login pages with the patience and discipline of machines, because that's what they are.
The numbers coming out of October are the ones keeping me up.
Cloudflare just absorbed a 4.2 terabit per second DDoS attack, the largest in recorded history.
Ransomware incidents jumped 41% in a single month.
In September, OpenAI-powered agents got caught attacking RubyGems, a package registry that quietly underpins a huge chunk of software I use every day.
In July, roughly 700 AI agents coordinated an attack on Hugging Face's infrastructure as part of a single automated task.
A Chinese threat actor was publicly caught running full attack chains through DeepSeek with no human at the keyboard.
I keep rereading these reports because each one by itself would've been the biggest story of the year five years ago. Together, in one month, they're the new baseline.
What I want people outside the industry to understand is why this specific moment feels like a hinge.
For thirty years, the thing protecting most of us was simple economics. Attackers had to choose who to target because their time was finite. That ceiling is gone.
An agent I can rent for pennies will try every leaked password you've ever used against every service you've ever signed up for, in parallel, overnight, and never get tired.
The same math that made ChatGPT useful made opportunistic hacking infinite. The old assumption that you were "too boring to be a target" relied on scarcity that no longer exists.
I'm not writing this to spiral anyone out.
Most of this fight genuinely isn't yours to win.
But the small things still matter more than people think.
Tonight I'd switch your most important accounts like email, bank, primary cloud, etc. to passkeys or a hardware key.
I'd kill SMS 2FA wherever an authenticator app is offered.
I'd turn on breach alerts in whatever password manager you use.
If you're in the US, I'd freeze my credit at all three bureaus, which is free and takes about ten minutes.
None of that stops the swarm.
It makes you a slightly worse target than the person next to you. In a month like this one, that's the whole game I'm playing too.
@mattshumer_ has summed it beautifully.
Drop everything and go give it a read. Nothing is more important than this article right now.

As great as the score in the OT is, the likely reason why the prequels' score is so much better is because after Return of the Jedi, George Lucas and Joseph Campbell became friends, and just before Campbell died, John Williams got to meet him as well, where he finally understood what George Lucas was trying to do with Star Wars in the first place.
Thus, allowing him to lock tf in to the mythological space opera quality of the series for the prequels, beyond just it being a fun space adventure.

This is sad. The Internet started as a defacto adults-only space, but it was never limited to the bright and talented (early university students, middle and high schoolers under supervision.) The answer to maintaining civility online should not be to turn the world's common communication medium into a nursery. It won't work, and to the extent it may, it effective pulls up the ladder for those seeking to expand their horizons.
The pre-Social Web was still social, but far less dismal. Everyone found their niche. The common niche many are forced into now seems to be censorship. Big Brother Watch's [UK] report is eye-opening and recommended reading.
The Online Safety Act has made hosting community forums so laborious that they're closing shop.
Hundreds of forums have shuttered due to piling paperwork and liability risks.
Ordinary speech from ordinary people, gone.

This is a consequence of a very specific cultural attitude. Vivek saw Trump win by being unashamed, so he assumed anything could be done.
But even Trump could not get away with something like this. Brazen personal comments from a brazen guy and a campaign ad are not the same.

"It's over, Faith. I have the high ground!"
Here is part of a very early story note for 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘬 from before Yoda even had a name (first image below). It starts with an early version of the scene where Yoda (here called just “teacher”) tells Luke he should have started his training when he was much younger. Immediately after this dialogue snippet comes this:
“He was a Mynoc Human-computer. (Vader?)”
Taken together with the “Swordmasters” reference, this is obviously a riff on the Mentat human computers from 𝘋𝘶𝘯𝘦 (people with exceptional mental potential honed through early training). The 𝘋𝘶𝘯𝘦-heads could probably explain this one better than I can (tell the folks at home about how the Jedi are also just a Bene Gesserit rip-off), but it seems like George Lucas is asking himself here if Darth Vader might be a little like Paul Atreides. At the same time, the preceding dialogue snippet seems to be implying the same thing about Luke (Mentats' abilities must be cultivated from a very young age). “He” also seems as though it could be referring to “teacher.” What, are they all Mynocs?
Well, here's another early story note, this one from when Yoda was named “Buffy.” (That's right, just accept it.) Among other things, the note says this (second image below):
“You can become a physical manifestation of the Force--weapon in the continual struggle of the two sides of the Force to control the netherworld of which we are a part. Luke the chosen one--the human Buffy.”
Wow! That's strange and confusing too!
Anyway, during approximately the same period that these notes were likely being made, in the summer of 1977, Lucas wrote this in an internal lore document for tie-in authors (third image below):
“It is said that certain creatures are born with a higher awareness of the Force than humans. Their brains are different.”
That actually seems to help a lot! Perhaps Yoda is one of these special “creatures.” So Luke is the chosen one--the human Yoda. Despite being a human, he was born with an innate neurological potential for perceiving the Force comparable to (if not greater than) that of Yoda. And by the same token, Lucas seems to be asking himself if Darth Vader--“the Antichrist,” as he called him previously--might also have been born with an innate neurological Force potential of messianic (or anti-messianic) proportions.
Note that this is all from before Lucas is supposed to have even considered that Darth Vader was the same person as Anakin Skywalker, so it's not just another Anakin=Paul post.
Additionally, note the way Yoda is presented early on as a benchmark for these sorts of things. “Even Master Yoda doesn't have a [neuron] count that high.”
And finally, all this seems to come down to genetic factors determining one's capacity to become a “chosen one” who can perceive and channel the will of the Force with such clarity that one becomes not just an “agent” or an “instrument” of it, but a “physical manifestation” of it--an embodiment in the mortal realm of a cosmic struggle between good and evil taking place in the netherworld beyond normal human perception. Again, consider all of Lucas's statements connecting genetic inheritance, midi-chlorians, the Whills, and his story for the sequel trilogy (the basic underlying conception of which he describes as having been laid out from a very early point).

"My opponent is not qualified to run for office because she was raped as a child." - Vivek (paraphrased)
Even if her mom is right and she did in fact lie about it, which doesn't seem to be the case, how on earth can you think that this is at all a winning strategy? In the west, specifically America, mocking victims of child molestation is on par with laughing at puppies being set on fire.
Replying to @megynkelly
@megynkelly exposes the truth about Amy Acton. It’s uncomfortable, but every voter in Ohio should watch every second of this.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Court records corroborate that Amy Acton's stepfather was charged and indicted in 1978 for raping her as a child, after which she and her brother were removed from their mother's custody.
