  1. The first couple seasons of clone wars is a kids show, but there's some real juice there. I'll find a skip list and post it, because there's definitely some stuff better off without lol. But the series brings SO MUCH depth to Anakin's characterization and fall to the dark side during the literal years of war during the Clone Wars. And honestly, if you don't wanna watch it all you can skip to the last 4 episodes of season 7, which start right at the beginning of ROTS and runs in a parallel timeline THROUGH order 66. There's definitely some spoilers jumping that far ahead, but the animation and production quality would be right at home on the silver screen
  2. A third and imo, more likely possibility: a maintenance problem. There's been a ton of chatter about India Air's generally poor maintenance standards, and that this airframe in particular had gremlins. A simultaneous loss of power in both engines is preposterously unlikely without some upstream failure like an interruption in fuel flow, or some other corner case. With that said, the 787s have been known lemons for a while. Boeing's production quality has gone into the shitter as they've optimized their business operations for profitablity
  3. Playing that for trumps birthday parade is a little on the nose though, gotta say
  4. You'd like to think so, but Bibi is playing the dangerous game. He's trying to escalate conflicts to burnish support from his base via nationalism, so that he can retain power and continue to escape criminal prosecution
  5. He gone. The picture going around was from a business's CCTV I feel like if he shot a CEO they would have found him already
  6. They found Luigi ricky-tick and this yokel just walks out the backdoor?
  7. The MN assassination is being made into MAGA lemonade
  8. He was so close with Walz he had him on his hit list. Why are you so insistent on this propaganda line? ABC news has new reporting on who was on the list: https://abcnews.go.com/US/gov-walz-rep-omar-dozens-minnesota-democrats-gunmans/story?id=122847427 Dozens of Minnesota Democrats were on a target list written by the gunman, according to law enforcement sources. The Minnesota Democrats on the list included Gov. Tim Walz, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, U.S. Sen. Tina Smith and state Attorney General Keith Ellison, according to law enforcement sources familiar with the matter. Police said the list -- which was retrieved from the suspect’s vehicle -- also named Hortman and Hoffman. Both victims are Democrats and Hortman was formerly the Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives. The shooter’s list of potential targets also included the names of abortion providers and pro-choice activists, several sources told ABC News. Many of the Democratic lawmakers on the list have been outspoken about pro-choice policy positions, two sources said.
  9. I'm not familiar with this publication, so grain of salt but it seems reputable enough. ATC audio has become available, and they've found one of the two "black boxes" from the aircraft https://www.firstpost.com/india/no-power-no-thrust-air-india-pilots-5-second-distress-call-to-ahmedabad-atc-emerges-13897097.html Senior pilot Captain Sumit Sabharwal sent a distress call to the Ahmedabad ATC right after the plane took off. In the five-second audio, the pilot can be heard saying: “MAYDAY… MAYDAY… MAYDAY… NO POWER… NO THRUST… GOING DOWN…"
  10. This guy's LinkedIn and other bios make him sound quite a bit like a mercenary https://www.pguards.net/leadership-team Fuckin "Praetorian Guards Security"? Running contracts for oil refiners and "the world's largest food company based on Switzerland" - aka Nestle the water thieves?? Gimme a break with the "ZOMG he's actually LEFTIST!!!ONE!!" and actually engage with the facts of the situation. Good lord, turning Twitter back on was a mistake. Disinformation flows in abundance from there
  11. Sure fuckin' doesn't feel peaceful to me
  12. What with China and Russia's interest in Iranian technology and resources, this really does have all the makings for a scope creep of theatre and building up to a global conflict
  13. It bears repeating - TRUMP WANTED TO PARDON WITMERS ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPERS! He only backed off because Witmer said she opposed it, but who fucking knows with this asshole. Anything is on the table, ESPECIALLY if it ownz the libz I would not be shocked one iota if the gunman ended up getting a Rittenhouse-type prosecution where they disallow any bit of negative contextual evidence, and narrowly charge him and botch the trial.
  14. I'd love to know what @Rip76 thinks is funny about all this - please, share your sources of information that are informing this view. It's pretty shocking how happy some folks on the internet are with this actual terrorist attack and murder. I guess they must be those "second amendment people" that the president was asking to take matters into their own hands, remembering the literal call to arms.
