Top 10 tips for 2025
Hot take: The Original Trilogy in Star Wars is not as good as the Prequels. They have less meaning to them, just a lot of action.
Another semi-hot take: The sequels in Star Wars are honestly so bad they need to be redone. No real meaning or strategy to them just rebels running away, and then miraculously tons of people show up to help when they never cared about it before. And another hot take: I would honestly prefer Star Wars to not have the Force or Jedi in it. The rebels fighting with no advantages against a much bigger force and taking advantage of their flaws is so much better than just Jedi and Sith battling with no strategy.
Andor is the best Star Wars content ever made. Even the original trilogy is not as good at this point. I thought this about the first season, and now I’m only on S2E8 and it just reinforces my belief.
Some day we gon' get Oren
Some day we gon' get Lindsay
Baby, don't you bet it all
On a pack of Lindsay
You might think Oren wrote you off
They gon' have to Lindsay me off
Someday the Oren’ll be gone
And they'll play Lindsay on and on
Sometimes I take all the Oren
Talk like I drank all the Lindsay
Oren ahead but way Lindsay
I'm on 1, 2, 3, Oren
No half-orens, just all Lindsays
Caught between Oren and Lindsay
This not what we had in mind, but maybe Lindsay
At my cross country meet yesterday, they had snacks for us. After the race (after placing 6th on my team, which was the goal!) we were hanging out and I went to get a granola bar, but the box was empty. Instantly, this kid named Grant (who’s the goofiest kid on the team) grabbed a granola bar out of his pocket with no hesitation and gave it to me. Bro was a real one.
I’m not sure why that stuck with me, but it was super cool.
Bro discovers radio:
it would be cool if there was an app that automatically syncs everyone’s music in the same space so you’re all hearing the same song in real-time. like a playlist, but social. kinda like… a local audio stream. and if needed they could have human hosts who talk between songs to relay info quickly to people. like announcements, event updates, or news or whatever. wild no one’s done that before.
Thanks to @hakim for being my 300th follower!!! I appreciate you all, it means a lot to me!
I have a correction to make to this post. I forgot to mention the North Sea Empire of 1013, which was when Danish king Cnut the Great united Denmark, Norway, and Britain, making Crimea part of rightful Danish territory.
Since the United States should rightfully own Greenland, an autonomous region of Denmark, we should technically have claim to all other Danish, British, and Norwegian territory. Therefore America owns not only Crimea, but the UK as well!
Many people are talking about the Ukrainian war, and a lot of what they are talking about includes Crimea. Who should Crimea belong to? Ukraine, or Russia? Well, technically, Norway is the rightful owner!
Sometime in the 9th century, Norwegian chieftain Rurik, became one of the personal guards of emperor Basil I of Macedonia, that ruled the Byzantine Empire and became one of the so-called Varangians. Rurik got bored, so he moved up river and took control of the area around Staraja Ladoga (Старая Ладога), later built a fortified settlement of Holmgard near Veliky Novgorod, in the 860s, and established a power base there. His nephew, Oleg, moved the centre of the realm to modern day Kyiv, after massacring the ruling class there, that were also probably of Scandinavian descent, in 882. Then, Oleg's son, Sviatoslav I Igorevich, united most of the factions around Kyiv, and in 962 he conquered the Crimean city of Kerch, and took control of Crimea, except for a tiny part around modern day Sevastopol, which was given to Byzantine in exchange for cooperation regarding supplies, called Cherson. Everything went good until the year of 1238, when Mongolian tyrant Batu Khan of the Golden Horde, purged Crimea.
Now we want it back. We must reunite our historical territory and once again merge with our ancestral homeland.
