what a book

Probably eating a fine meal or spending money on expensive entertainment. Females did love such things.
A Jedi Knight wouldn’t just sit around when there was vital Alliance business in the works, would he? No. He wouldn’t.
This was one of those times, and as usual, it was a double-edged blade. Swung with care, it would cut both ways. Just as it was supposed to cut.

this was a fucking slog on mobile I tell you what

my neighbour told me dc films keep eating his supergirl so I asked how many dcu he has and he said he just goes to Warner bros and gets a new DCU afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding supergirl to cinematic universes and then his creature commandos started crying

stress testing performance by making a band with 300 members. the dialogue telling you how they're doing is now too large to dismiss, soft locking the game. #gamedev #indiedev #bevyengine josh04.itch.io/label-maker

the song titles aren't quite there yet, but i'm pretty sure 'slow train to saint petersburg' is a classic of second-wave ska

also it just threw me up a band with a singer, a drummer and four guitars called 'the groger sisters' after rhythm guitarist 'garfunkel groger'

The Truce at Bakura – Kathy Tyers

Another entry in my big journal of Star Wars sequels and prequels, this is the book that infamously starts the moment Return of the Jedi ends, by having fan-favourite X-Wing pilot Wedge Antilles trip over his shoelaces and hit his head on an exploding Imperial Droid. Hijinks ensure.

Tyers has a much looser grip on the Star Wars atmosphere than Zahn did, and the mid-nineties sci-fi pulp mood that you might also see in Doctor Who novels of that era is very much in evidence: Skywalker et al must contend with the threat of a vast empire of oddly sexy dinosaur-men. That’s not very Star Wars, but the constant diplomatic back-and-forth with the newly-minted Imperial remnant, who aren’t entirely convinced that the Emperor is dead, certainly is, and Tyers does a decent job of depicting power struggles in a very febrile situation. Takes a while to hit its stride, but an enjoyable read once it does.

hence it is scarcely surprising not only that, historically, the reign of the Author should also have been that of the Critic, but that criticism (even "new criticism") should be overthrown along with the Author.

This conception perfectly suits criticism, which can then take as its major task the discovery of the Author (or his hypostases: society, history, the psyche, freedom) beneath the work: once the Author is discovered, the text is "explained:' the critic has conquered;

I'll admit that I was actually enjoying this movie for as much as half an hour, this movie makes the most effort to turn its characters into actual characters and not just empty vehicles in service of one lame white man's self-actualization.

To give an Author to a text is to impose upon that text a stop clause, to furnish it with a final signification, to close the writing.

“A Grand Admiral,” Ackbar said at last, his voice sounding even more gravelly than usual.

“We’re dealing with a Grand Admiral, Han,” Lando reminded him. “Anything is possible.”

“Great,” Han growled. “Problem is, with a Grand Admiral in charge of the Empire, we might not have that much time.”
