Rewatching A New Hope and guys. Guys.

We have all fallen for Han's propaganda.

Look, Han might think he's a suave, smooth-talking pilot-slash-smuggler who can outsmart a whole ship of Imperials, and that Luke's a naive little farmboy who's never seen hyperspace before, but honestly?

The whole time on the Death Star, it was Luke calling the shots. Luke bluffed an officer into thinking he was a stormtrooper with a bad comm unit; Han started shooting as soon as the door was open. Luke spent about 2 seconds on the altruistic argument - "but they'll kill her!" - before figuring out Han's angle and swapping to the argument that would win. Luke pulled out a cell block number as soon as the guard asked; Han famously fumbled the first comm call.

We give Luke a bad rap for being an idealistic farm kid, but he's not stupid. He knows when he's being scammed, although he might be a bit loud about calling it out; he's ready for trouble and pretty on the ball with coming up with cover stories. He might expect the best of people - but you know what? It works! People want to live up to those expectations - so they do. Han comes back. His father turns from the Dark Side. People listen.

Han might think he's an idiot, but when you look at everything Han gets up to himself...

John Oliver gets it, as usual. AI Slop is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.

sound off everyone what’s the worst texture. just in anything. for me it’s ground beef not even a question

I’m convinced that if it had been Saw who killed Lonni like Luthen did that Star Wars fans would be going on and on about how terrible of a person Saw is for it. Those two are fairly similar in the narrative, but I’ve never seen people jump on Luthen the way they do against Saw. (I would say I wonder why, but let’s be honest, we all know why…)

Imagine being a young superhero and newly-minted member of the Justice League. You’ve got a monitor shift with Superman, who you know as an invincible alien demigod who lives at the North Pole. You’re nervous about spending time with him—what do you even have in common with him? What could you even talk about?

And then shortly into monitor duty he casually mentions

his

WIFE???

“I was driving my son to preschool this morning—“

ARE THERE PRESCHOOLS AT THE NORTH POLE, SUPERMAN?

AND WHY WERE YOU DRIVING, FLYING MAN?

[galahadwilder]

You start the shift thinking that Superman is this inhuman messiah-like figure who watches humanity from on high and has no human connections and then you spend the next hour steadily getting more flabbergasted as he tells you about how his six-year-old headbutted him in the nuts this morning before school and invulnerable toddler plus invulnerable nuts means actual pain and you’re just like “what the FUUUUUU—“

At one point Batman wanders in all brooding and Superman perks up and goes, “hey Bruce! How was the Parent-Teacher Conference?”

Batman has a name? His name is Bruce? He goes to PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES?

(Batman replies, in the most tired dad™️ voice you’ve ever heard, “Damian tried to stab his chemistry teacher again.”)

@dayables statistic of “average JLA member has 2 kids” is 100% accurate. Childrens Broos, who lives in a cave and obtains 2 new children per year, is not an outlier and should be counted.

Clark, Diana, Oliver, Barry, and Wally are all racing for “largest number of children by any definition” and Bruce is currently winning.

New JLA member: *nervous sweating about hanging out with a demigoddess/princess of a warrior women kingdom/immortal was nf desperately trying to remember anything from the one classical mythology class they took in high school, absolutely terrified and wondering what the protocol is when your mentor is 30 minutes late*

Diana: (shows up covered in glitter with her hair badly braided) Sorry my six year old "hosted" her first sleepover last night and turns out that even the magic of the gods can't get glitter out of carpet
