It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

@vavavera.bsky.social Hey Liz! Okay, I read your story on Mace Windu hinting he had fallen to the Dark Side by using the same wording to justify killing Palpatine that Palp used to encourage Anakin to kill Dooku - really great insight! I personally had never noticed the two lines matched. (1/6)

purify their own crystal, it somehow corrupts the process? If Mace's original saber was blue and went red, a partial purification could bring the blue back and turn the red saber... purple! I don't know, this is just a theory, but fun to think about! (end)

canon character to use a purple lightsaber. Almost all of the others (9 in total) are from the High Republic era, and only 2 of those 9 are from the prequel era. Anyway... when a Jedi turns Sith and bleeds a khyber crystal, it turns red, and there's a process to purify a bled crystal which (4/6)

On the one hand, as a writer I can see how it may not indicate that, and be more of a subtle nod to how the desire to take a shortcut can be very seductive especially if you're convinced of your own righteousness. It could even be intended to show that two identical acts could be both good (2/6)

Just a heads up, it's not actually the State of the Union, just a speech (a.k.a. "joint remarks") before the houses of Congress. So, those of you feeling like you have to watch it, don't worry. You can safely ignore it with the knowledge that he can do every bit as much damage in a generic speech.

Here’s the thing about Bluesky: It’s not algorithm based, so if you think it’s not fun, that’s a skill issue. You’re following the wrong people, and not following the right people. Tons of people out there post great, unique content on Bluesky. Find them.

This may be an "old woman yells at cloud" moment, but I genuinely do miss when a game just released fully and that was it. No extra DLC content, no micro transactions, etc. Just buying the game and you get the ENTIRE experience in box.

Just saw, for the first time, a hatchback with company branding on the side, and a subtitle that included the phrase "tooth gems." A couple of fun facts about this company, they are also the 5th dentist who doesn't recommend Crest, and Trump just named them Secretary of Dental Hygiene.
