i have to say, i’ve grown a fondness for palpatine. he’s just…. so completely, wholly, and entirely evil. he’s so evil i don’t think, “evil,” covers it. i think in the pit of dead sith lords he exists in, now, the other sith lords stay away from him because He’s Just So Evil. i mean, this guy looked at tiny anakin, “the biggest problem in the galaxy is that no one helps each other,” skywalker and said, that one. i want that one, and i want to destroy him and warp him so utterly he will be unrecognizable.
and it’s not like he particularly needed darth vader or anything, that was just icing on the cake. he was already well on his way to taking the republic down, he had the jedi’s kill switch in place, and then he just decides to corrupt the chosen one because he could. it’s like the blowout sale of democracy, and palpatine is the one clearing out the story. i will take away your FREEDOM, your BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS, i will commit ATROCITIES UNPARALLELED, and i think i’ll take your 9 year old, too. throw him in. everything he does to anakin is so horrifying, but it’s just palpatine taking a victory lap. he’s not only going to crush the jedi and the republic, he’s gonna turn their chosen one into the face of his empire and have him hunt down the last remnants of their order. he did all of that just because he could. palpatine is an unparalleled MONSTER and i kind of love it
Yesterday people in Nea Makri, Mati and Rafina were trapped in their houses, their cars and hundreds of people reached the sea to avoid the fire, to avoid their death. 74 people have died (the number will probably rise), 188 injured and there are so many missing people. Many organisations, companies and simple people have helped with medicines, food etc. For you who live in Athens or nearby there’s a lot you can help with. Here’s a link with all the information about how you can help (it’s in greek though)! For you who can’t go to Athens, for you who live in another country but you still want to and can help, you can donate some money for the fire victims! The municipality of Rafina opened a bank account specifically to help the fire victims.

If you can help even a little bit it would really help and mean a lot to all the people who are suffering right now. And if you can’t help, at least reblog this post and/or talk about what is happening to your family and friends so that more people know about it!
They’re letting Joss Whedon reboot Buffy but we’re still not getting Xena back?
👆🏾👆🏾 This is the 10 minute preview clip of Sacha Baron Choen’s new show, “Who is America?”
👆🏾👆🏾 This is former Alabama judge, former US Senate candidate and alleged pedophile Roy Moore’s official statement about his involvement with “Who Is America?”.
👆🏾👆🏾 This is Republican former Illinois congressman turned radio host Joe Walsh trying to pre-emptively save his own ass after being duped by Cohen on “Who Is America?”.
👆🏾👆🏾 This is former Alaska governor (and former candidate for Vice President Of The United States) Sarah Palin trying to downplay being pranked by Cohen on “Who Is America?”.
👆🏾👆🏾 This is CNN’s official list of public officials who were pranked by Cohen during the shooting of this season of “Who Is America?”.
Lots of Conservatives are hopping mad and tweeting angrily about “gotcha journalism” right now since episode 1 aired on Showtime, but at the end of the day nothing will ever erase the fact that Sacha Baron Cohen got two current Republican members of Congress, and two former Republican members of Congress – ON VIDEO – to endorse arming Kindergarteners to defend against school shootings.
THESE PEOPLE TOOK THE INTERVIEW, SAID ALL THE THINGS AND SIGNED THE NDAs.
(And btw, Senator Bernie Sanders was also pranked on Episode 1 of “Who Is America?” but he seems unfazed by the experience. Perhaps because he just espoused his actual beliefs on camera, none of which are reprehensible or embarrassing lol.)
I’m screaming!!!!!!! In terror mostly but also because like these guys are morons. Especially Walsh lmao like ….
sacha baron cohen really just came out of the shadows to assassinate everyone and everything with 0 remorse, holy shit
This is…. powerful. He gets a lobbyist singing and dancing holding a machine gun with stuffed toy bits on it in a video to teach 3 year olds how to fire a gun. he is absolutely killing these people.
The first episode was great!
I laughed so hard at the first episode, and the way Bernie Sanders was looking at him was hilarious! He was just so confused by the fuckery and that made it funnier!
I’ve seen the new trailer, doesn’t tell us much, has a feel that makes me think of the RTD years. Just not enough to go on. I thought they’d at least give us an idea of how the series would roll, but it felt incoherent and random, like they don’t have a lock on it yet. I guess we’ll see.
With everyone from Disney to DC to every minor entertainment network there is offering their own subscription-based streaming service, no household anywhere is going to be able to afford to watch all there will be on individual offer.
I guess that means they’ll have to team up with the ISPs they own to create a base site that will offer multi-streaming channel packaging.
Does this sound familiar, anyone who has ever used cable/satellite telly in the last 40 years?
For decades, American historians have viewed the summit between John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev, in 1961, as the worst ever between the U.S. and Moscow. That disastrous bit of summitry has now been topped by Trump.
