Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

He really is that stupid.

When we show up, we win.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

We will not go back.

1. Exciting if somewhat safe adventure movie
2. Controversial sequel that makes bold choices in narrative and direction
3. Heavily commercialized, largely disappointing conclusion

Wow, they really did just remake the original trilogy.

Invoicing Disney $1.7 million for a memo that reads, in its entirety, "you will never be able to please the most unappeasable sour-patch franchise nerds, because they fundamentally cannot and do not want to be pleased." I'd expect them to ignore it, but I'd love that money.

    It will be a bit before I see it – I don’t like crowded theaters. I assume that all important plot points will be spoiled before I go. I don’t mind too much. I don’t go to a Star Wars movie to see a cinematic triumph. I’m just looking for a couple hours distraction for the nightmare of Trump’s America. It will do.

    I don’t like packed theaters either, but I’d sort of like to see this one before all of the spoilers have spoiled it. The other night at dinner I told my probable viewing partner that we might have to look for a 6:00 a.m. showing somewhere next week. There probably is one!

    I think I’ll return to being a Trekker? But I did enjoy the Star Wars area of Disneyland. I’ll see the movie eventually … I’m just not excited or expecting anything exciting, profound, or even the least bit sensical.  I am enjoying The Madalorian though!

    For slightly more down-to-Earth sci-fi, I’ve enjoyed For All Mankind, on Apple’s new streaming service. Alternate-history space race, starting in summer of 1969 with the Soviets landing a man on the Moon a couple of weeks before Apollo 11.

    (Fans of absurd paper concept rockets should definitely watch the last couple of minutes of the last episode. Two words: Sea Dragon)

    Certainly won’t be paying theatre prices to see it. Might put it on if Disney ever deigns to allow it on streaming services. Looks pretty meh and the plot reads like fanfiction.

    Ive been thinking about this a lot and Ive come to the striking realization JJ Abrams might not actually understand what a story is. Its more a bot copying story algorithms.

    (NYT) The Times Privacy Project obtained a dataset with more than 50 billion location pings from the phones of more than 12 million people in this country. It was a random sample from 2016 and 2017, but it took only minutes — with assistance from publicly available information — for us to deanonymize location data and track the whereabouts of President Trump.

    [Maps with descriptions and the trail of a device that the Times tracked.]

    A single dot appeared on the screen, representing the precise location of someone in President Trump’s entourage at 7:10 a.m. It lingered around the grounds of the president’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., where the president was staying, for about an hour.

    Then it was on the move.

    …  [Continues describing the trail of the device.]

    THE DEVICE’S OWNER was easy to trace, revealing the outline of the person’s work and life. The same phone pinged a dozen times at the nearby Secret Service field office and events with elected officials. From computer screens more than 1,000 miles away, we could watch the person travel from exclusive areas at Palm Beach International Airport to Mar-a-Lago.

    The meticulous movements — down to a few feet — of the president’s entourage were recorded by a smartphone we believe belonged to a Secret Service agent, whose home was also clearly identifiable in the data. Connecting the home to public deeds revealed the person’s name, along with the name of the person’s spouse, exposing even more details about both families. We could also see other stops this person made, apparently more connected with his private life than his public duties. …

    The vulnerability of the person we tracked in Mr. Trump’s entourage is one that many if not all of us share: the apps (weather services, maps, perhaps even something as mundane as a coupon saver) collecting and sharing his location on his phone.

    …

     It’s a result of a system in which data surveillance practices are hidden from consumers and in which much of the collection of information is done without the full knowledge of the device holders.

    …

    We were able to track smartphones in nearly every major government building and facility in Washington. We could follow them back to homes and, ultimately, their owners’ true identities. Even a prominent senator’s national security adviser — someone for whom privacy and security are core to their every working day — was identified and tracked in the data.

    WHILE THE CONSTITUTION PREVENTS COMPANIES from sharing location data with the government without a warrant, there are no federal protections limiting how they use or share it privately. No such protections are currently being debated before Congress — even though we found that we could track people through Congress’s own halls as easily as any place else.

    “Tech companies are profiting by spying on Americans — trampling on the right to privacy and risking our national security,” Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat running for president, told us. “They are throwing around their power to undermine our democracy with zero consequences. This report is another alarming case for why we need to break up big tech, adopt serious privacy regulations and hold top executives of these companies personally responsible.”

    Despite the sensitivity of this information, it is put to everyday use. Packaged with millions of other data points, location information is turned into marketing analysis and sold to financial institutions, real estate investors, advertising companies and others. Companies say they vet partners carefully and tend to work with larger players that have a clear business case for receiving the data.

    Like all data, the vast location files are vulnerable to hacks, leaks or sale at any point along that process. The data we reviewed was provided to Times Opinion by sources who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to share it and could face severe penalties for doing so.

    CONNECTING A PING TO A PERSON was as easy as combining home and work locations with public information. A seemingly random set of movements turned into a clear individual pattern after we added just one other piece of information.

    Plenty of corroborating information is already floating around dark corners of the web, given the frequent high-profile data breaches of the past decade. Consider what China already knows: In 2015, a federal database containing the personal information of more than four million people with security clearances was stolen by Chinese hackers presumed to be state actors.

    …

    After Ms. Spaulding (Suzanne Spaulding, senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former under secretary at the Department of Homeland Security) raised the danger of tracking judges, we checked the data file for courthouse employees. In minutes, we found dozens of potential targets by watching smartphones sharing their precise locations inside Washington courthouses. One person whose movements we traced has a role in the technology division, which controls servers containing data for the Supreme Court.

    … …

    I’m not sure how believable the premise is. The Soviets were not anywhere close to getting the N1 launch ready, IIRC. They tried into the early 70s to get it to work, but couldn’t.

    I have to wonder if NASA might do what the Soviets did in our timeline: pursue crewed satellites instead of going to the moon. Or perhaps might decide to go to Mars even to one up the Soviets.

    Overnight, she became a public figure. The praise bolstered her, as did the thought that her fame might spur on other young girls to become pilots. She took time out to speak to girls in elementary schools about her career, wearing her uniform.

    “I’m proud of that,” she said. “They’d say, ‘Oh, I saw you on TV.’”

    But things soon took a dark turn. Her brother was shot at twice by militants in Kabul. The first time he escaped unharmed, but the next time he wasn’t so lucky and ended up in the hospital. From 2013, her family started receiving so many death threats that they had to move from house to house, once moving three times in a month. Rahmani stopped being able to buy vegetables at the market without attracting attention.

    People would call every day to make threats — some were strangers, and others were people the family knew well. A letter arrived that bore a Taliban stamp. It said simply, “We know where you live.”

    This is the first SW movie that I was old enough to attend that I did not go and see on opening weekend. The last movie (The Last Jedi) completely ruined the whole thing for me…should have simply put the Thrawn Trilogy on screen, and folks would have been hugely pleased. Throwing out the Expanded Universe was a terrible mistake on Disney’s part as well.

    The only new movie that I’ll bother considering as SW canon is Rogue One – that was extremely well-done. Otherwise…George Lucas probably wishes he never sold.

    It was a Star Wars film. With all the warts and things that come with that. It’s also a JJ Abrams film. So it’s a bit of a double whammy.

    Not a great piece of cinema, but none of them really were (closest being Empire).

    It’s still good for what it is. And a perfectly fine end to the Skywalker saga.

    It was never going to please a lot of “Star Wars” fans as too many of them have gone a bit misty eyed about the movies of their youth, and don’t recognize the same problems are still there. But the same fun is also there.

     

    Most annoying thing was the shitting on Last Jedi scene. It involves Luke and a light saber both times. As I did like where Last Jedi was trying to go with the whole meta “let the past die”.

    I saw Star Wars yesterday.  The new one I mean in an Imax.  Imaxs are always too loud but I survived.  It’s certainly a Disney film.  It’s sappy and sugary sweet.  The story took pains to thread in actors and parts from the first 3 movies I guess to try to mesh story lines.  It kinda worked.  No it isn’t the best movie ever and yes the plot is somewhat unbelievable but it is a fantasy adventure sci-fi so I’m not going to quible too much about it being impossible.  It was 1/3 Lucas & 2/3 Disney.  It was nice in that you leave with a positive feeling (no spoilers but the Force turns out OK).

    @Citizen Alan: Babylon 5 worked because as a TV show you didn’t expect wild computer graphics or Game of Thrones type Panorama.  I’m not sure the story would translate all that well to the big screen.  I loved Babylon 5.  Campy.  Good story arc.

    @Major Major Major Major: If you like NY style thin crust pizza go to Giovanni’s Pizza.  It’s just off 101 at the Lawrence Expressway.  The rest of their Italian stuff is great but since I can’t really get good NY thin crust out here I always buy pizza when I’m there.  They sell slices to so you can see if you like it.  Most my California friends don’t understand thin crust with just tomato sauce and cheese but it’s what I grew up with so….

    @The Dangerman:

     

    Strongly recommend Ford v Ferrari which does have neat cars, but more importantly has great strong characters which clash hard. Caroll Shelby and Henry Ford II, and one of his henchmen MBA asses, not to mention Enzo Ferrari V Caroll Shelby…

    Plus lots of mis-1960s icons, like PanAm and TWA, all those 50s and 60s cars on the streets, and the sports cars and race cars –Wife loved it and shs isn’t really a gear head..

    Saw it Thursday. As expected, thoroughly mediocre, making all the obvious choices, and executing it in the most unimaginative ways. Does poorly for anyone except Rey and Kylo (ugh!), and pays way too much attention to fanboi wailing (with with at least one plot point mindnumbingly dumb and irrelevant).

    I remember when I was a kid and after the first one which was called Episode 4 I heard there were going to be 9 of them and I thought no way! Quite a let-down, 30 plus years later, to think eh I’ll probably skip the 9th one. (Though I did skip Episodes 2 and 3 after Episode 1 was so God-awful.)

    @Citizen Alan: I loved Babylon 5 – I think it was the last TV series I enjoyed – but for me at least the draw was gradually watching the story be revealed over time. A movie series wouldn’t provide that (or, really, any reboot, now that we know what was going on.)

    Wow, they really did just remake the original trilogy.

    So Kylo is Rey’s father?!

    I disagree. The special effects look very dated now, but at the time they were considered pretty impressive.

    @Major Major Major Major:   Agreed.  I loathe the prequels – I pretend they never happened.

    I liked TLJ as well, and found TROS to be a fun, if unsurprising, ride.  Then again, I’ve learned not to expect much from Abrams.

    @Robmassing:   Believe me, 2 and 3 were progressively worse.  George Lucas is a marketing machine, not a storyteller.
