Approaching? Oh we are both feet knee deep up to our Keisters in Idiocracy, but in the worst way possible.

As ThΓ©oden reaches the Dike, Erkenbrand and a thousand soldiers of the Westfold pour over the western ridge, with Gandalf bright upon Shadowfax.

The Orcs waver then flee in the only direction leftβ€”into the dark Huorn-wood that, to their dismay and terror, now stands behind them.

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says β€œthey’re having problems with their economy again.”

[Thread] Reviews of Project Hail Mary (March 20)

Right now, many Americans may feel like this: "America, do not let despair tarnish your might to change this." It is people here on Blue that give me hope. If your administration is not taken down, sadly, it may close the door to your future.

Two, interlocking and thoroughly gorgeous Noriyoshi Ohra covers for a Manga adaption of Star Wars: A New Hope. Everytime I stumble across this scan in my files, I simply have to throw it out there into the galaxy again. Coz it’s fab.

It really is. I saw it in the theaters twice. That ending was 🀌. Sulu commanding Excelsior was top shelf. Also, bonus points for the Christian Slater Cameo

There is no chance I won’t. Your attention to detail and writing style with that subject matter… it’s gonna be boss! Can’t wait. πŸ‘πŸ‘ Would love a heads up on any special edition or signed copy options when the time comes!

And whose callsign was Wedge, I’d say this will be right smack bang in the middle of my crosshairs. If you’d like any military aviation technical assistance, let me know. If it helps we’re in the same time zone!

@chriskempshall.bsky.social After learning about your new project, I have to say I’m overjoyed your talent and voice will be at work telling the stories of the aviators of the Galactic Civil War. As someone who once wrote a tactical analysis article on the Battle of Scariff…
