quote [ A decentralized video hosting network, based on free/libre software ]
Main link goes to a PeerTube instance, which looks like a nice enough concept, minus the music rights, obviously; and little content.

quote [ When things are looking bad, they don?t run, they adjust and adapt, probing for weaknesses in their foe. They suffer lopsided losses without breaking. This isn?t their first large-scale engagement. When you realize that, their eagerness to join the final battle becomes all the more amazing. They knew exactly what they were getting into, knew the impossible odds, looked at an entire Legion of the Emperor?s best troops, and said in one voice, ?I?m your Huckleberry.? ]
I don't normally post blogs, but this is decent and insightful read. I heard the Ewoks were supposed to be Wookies (merch-purposes), but the idea was scrapped after they couldn't find tall enough actors to play them on the required scale. Didn't really try hard to hide this -- Ewok is a lazy anagram of Wookie.

quote [ The move comes after series star Roseanne Barr made a comment on Twitter Tuesday morning referring to former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett as the offspring of the ?Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes.?

quote [ The unprecedented order from Adult Swim means we?ll see the characters for years to come. ]
Wow. I mean, it's a pretty good show and all, but 70 episodes equals about 7 seasons in today's short attention spanned world. Season 3 was pretty hit or miss, what if the show starts to really suck after a couple more seasons? I remember South Park getting a big reorder but even that was only gonna carry it to like 2020 or around that, and I stopped watching that series a couple years ago.

quote [ Hippies may have saved ?2001.? ?Stoned audiences? flocked to the movie. David Bowie took a few drops of cannabis tincture before watching, and countless others dropped acid. According to one report, a young man at a showing in Los Angeles plunged through the movie screen, shouting, ?It?s God! It?s God!? ]
