It's very easy to criticize the Ewoks. What if I were to tell you that they're brilliant and extremely underrated? They're the best part of the series? They make Return of the Jedi the best Star Wars movie? I could go on. Seriously, I could.

But regardless of what you think about them, "The Ewoks are a shameless merchandising ploy," is played out. If you want to bash George Lucas' greatest work, come with something that isn't so unfresh that it smells like low tide.

🗓️ On This Day in History — Sept 20

In 1519, Ferdinand Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships, seeking a western route to the Spice Islands.

He didn’t survive the trip, but his fleet became the first to circumnavigate the globe — proving definitively that the Earth is round.

500+ years later and we still have to argue about this.
(Side-eying you, Kyrie.)

My opinion of the right is that they are somewhat less honest with themselves about what they know and how they know it, that their epistemology is less externally determined than internally determined, or perhaps that it is a less-sophisticated "I trust this person because they are superficially like me" instead of a more-sophisticated "I trust this person because, like me, they don't always trust their own instincts and apply difficult system-2 reasoning to catch themselves"... 1/N

Bear with me a moment; I'm about to be spicy:

People who complain that paper straws don't hold up to two-hours' use...

are like people who say, "You're out of paper towel in the restroom"...

when in reality you can't locate the motion sensor that dispenses the towel.

It's not a product issue, it's a skill issue.

It's saliva that unravels the straw; your lips should just lightly rest on the end of the straw.

Try it and see!

I think a lot of symptoms we attribute to various psychological "disorders" are symptoms of the trauma people with those "disorders" endure as part of ableist and anti-neurodivergent abuse.

I actually kind of love that there's no beer at the World Cup. Now we'll see who ACTUALLY likes football! Given the do-nothing mayor is doing something to let people in Toronto drink an hour earlier to watch, I get the feeling people need a drink to enjoy this sport! 🥱 #SpicyTakes
