@LDSchurchtrue @cosmic_marvel And this could too, this headline is literally for Thursday ticket sales not total.

@AMDSports @cosmic_marvel Top gun Maverick, spider man, Mario and avatar all made over 1.5 billion

‘THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU’ has earned $12M from Thursday previews at the domestic box office. The lowest for a Star Wars film under Disney.

@JokesGames @reasonposts @cosmic_marvel Movie openings for franchise with older audiences are down post COVID Disney failed to develop younger SW fans 2 factors that are independent but both contribute here

@AMDSports @reasonposts @cosmic_marvel Is it because Disney failed and Star Wars is bad or is it because of Covid. Pick one.

@elphiespetal @cosmic_marvel Its not a clean comparison, fan base age matters and Star Wars skews older which throws off the comparison. Ultimately it is data and any data scientist/analyst will tell you it can all be skewed to any POV in the end though.

@AMDSports @cosmic_marvel Not when other movies are doing just fine lol

@reasonposts @cosmic_marvel Different fan bases, Star Wars is ultimately an older fan base at this point in time because Disney has failed in other ways to cultivate younger fans. Spider-Man and Lilo and Stitch (both Disney IPs) have younger fan bases and that can skew the comparisons.

@AMDSports @cosmic_marvel Why so? There's been successful films at the theater since. Spider-Man No Way Home, Mario, Lilo and Stitch. People still go if they're interested.

@HopliteVodka @TIME If you think that is the sloppiest movie ever you either dont watch many movies OR you are simping hard core but again you do you homie.

@AMDSports @TIME Liking the sloppiest slop movie to ever slop doesn’t make you a “Legacy media critic” it makes you cattle

The first Star Wars movie in seven years chose the path of a cute green alien over the sophisticated storytelling of 'Andor.' time.com/article/2026/0…

@HopliteVodka @TIME Nah, but if that is what make you feel better simping for legacy media critics be my guest homie

@AMDSports @TIME *pisses my pants* “hey dude your pants are pissed” “haha you took the bait”

@HopliteVodka @TIME I did, but thanks for the free engagement taking the bait

@AMDSports @TIME You clearly didn’t read the article lmao.

@HopliteVodka @TIME And yet they still ran with this dumb headline/lead in...

@AMDSports @TIME Rogue One is literally mentioned in the article explicitly

@Kama_Kamilia Pretty sure all those clowns did was watch trailers because it was a solid-to-good movie. Better than any of the recent live action Disney stuff (other than Andor) that have come since Mando season 1.

Filoni managed to turn wine aunts against the baby gremlin. It’s over

@TheFantasyPT Dallas and the over - did a lot to improve a leaky defense AND that is a top 5ish offense playing a weaker division than people realize

NFC Win Totals on this week's DFS & Betting Pod Best bet on the board? You can only pick one! LAR: 11.5 SEA: 10.5 SF: 10.5 PHI: 10.5 GB: 10.5 DET: 10.5 DAL: 9.5 CHI: 9.5 TB: 8.5 MIN: 8.5 NYG: 7.5 CAR: 7.5 NO: 7.5 WAS: 7.5 ATL: 6.5 ARI: 4.5

@PatrickChiotti @BriMaestas303 @BleavNetwork @FDSportsbook I am voting B based only on the players selected in the draft proper BUT if we include Waddle as part of the equation it is probably an A

#BroncosCountry what grade are you giving the Broncos for their 2026 draft class?🤨 @BriMaestas303 and I will be discussing our thoughts on the next episode of Bleav in Broncos. Submit your answer below! @BleavNetwork @FDSportsbook

@AllbrightNFL Perfect problem to have if fans were being honest with themselves

Broncos don’t really have a weak spot on the two deep. It’s all depth/insurance/future guys for this draft.

Happy St George’s Day. I know how I’m celebrating.

@CodyRoarkNFL CB is one of those spots that you draft more years than not TBH (along with OL, DL, and RB). The need for 4-5 guys that can play combined with the cost for your top 2 guys necessitates that approach.

Wouldn’t be a surprise. These moves also typically forecast the unexpected possibilities over the course of the next two to three years (expiring deals, injuries, etc.)

@Zach_Segars @VetanzeTherapy Guess I will need to have KOA open too while I am on the train to Miami lol

@VetanzeTherapy I’ll be working, but if KOA suddenly experiences technical difficulties, you’ll know why

I think @Zach_Segars and I need to do a live reaction together during the Broncos pick at 62 because if they take a DB, the joint crashout would be generational. Zach might actually go catatonic and I might throw myself into traffic

@Rebel44CZ And every single crewmember on each of those birds would take that risk over and over again to rescue a downed brother or sister

Note: I am not saying that CSAR should be abandoned, what I am saying is that people need to really appreciate just how risky such operations are...

IMO, even with the massive degradation of the Iranian air defense, this is very very risky...

“Man’s dream and a nation’s pledge have now been fulfilled. The lunar age has begun. And with it, mankind’s march outward into that endless sky from this small planet circling an insignificant star in a minor solar system on the fringe of a seemingly infinite universe. The path ahead will be long; it’s going to be arduous; it’s going to be pretty doggone costly. We may hope, but we should not believe, in the excitement of today, that the next trip or the ones to follow are going to be particularly easy. But we have begun with ‘a small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind,’ in Armstrong’s unforgettable words.” — Walter Cronkite of @CBSNews

If you haven’t heard, and even if you have, Jimmy Kimmel said this about Markwayne Mullin, former Senator from Oklahoma, and our newest Secretary of Homeland Security: “We have a plumber now protecting us from terrorism.” Apparently, there has been some backlash. Plumbers were offended, obviously, as were parents of plumbers, spouses of plumbers, children of plumbers, and millions of people who have had a plumber show up when they needed one. Comedians were also offended, (the funny ones, anyway,) along with a surprising number of terrorists - especially those with access to hot and cold running water. However, in spite of the ensuing kerfuffle, @jimmykimmel doubled down. “I’m not upset that the head of Homeland Security was a plumber,” he said, “I’m upset that he isn’t still a plumber." He further elucidated by adding, "I wouldn't put a plumber in charge of Homeland Security for the same reason I wouldn't call a five-star general to pull a rat out of my toilet, OK? We all have our areas of expertise.” Being offended is always a choice, and I don’t choose to be offended by a joke, even one that comes at the expense of the skilled tradespeople my foundation tries to elevate. But I am a tad butt hurt by the suggestion that skilled workers should never evolve into something new, and that competence is somehow limited to one vocation. Obviously, expertise and skill are important. If I need a new kidney, I’d prefer a doctor do the surgery, not a late-night talk show host. But if the doctor in question used to host a talk show, why would I hold that against him? Ten years ago, during one of the presidential debates, @MarcoRubio answered a workforce-related question by arguing that America needed to get shop class back into high schools. He concluded by saying, “What our country needs are more welders and fewer philosophers.” A lot of people on this page commented that Rubio and I were singing from the same hymnal, but in fact, we weren’t. At least not entirely. Because I don’t think the current shortage of welders has anything to do with an overabundance of philosophers. In fact, I think it’s a mistake to promote one vocation at the expense of the other. What we really need in this country, are more welders who can talk intelligently about Aristotle, and more philosophers who can run an even bead. More Generals, in other words, who can fix their own toilets, and more plumbers who can hold a powerful government job. This is what Mullin did. He was a private citizen who mastered an essential skill and then turned that skill into a multi-million-dollar company that employed a lot of people and served a lot of customers. That gave him the freedom to do other things with his life, including a career in public service which got him into Congress, where he’s spent the last eleven years doing whatever Congressmen do. Now, he has a very consequential position in the Cabinet of the current administration. Is that not the embodiment of the American Dream? I get that Jimmy Kimmel might have a problem with Mullin’s politics, but what possible objection could he have about the trajectory of his career, or his desire to do more than one thing with his life? The only sensible thing to do in the wake of a moment this tone deaf, is remind America that the skills gap is wide, and getting wider. The shortage of skilled tradespeople is now headline news and closing it is nothing less than a matter of national security. This year, my foundation has set aside $10 million dollars to help train the next generation of plumbers, and lots of other essential workers. I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of AI-proof, six figure jobs that don't require a four-year degree, waiting to be filled. The money is currently available to anyone who wants to master a useful skill at mikeroweworks.org. Apply today. As for those of you genuinely offended by Kimmel's comments, consider expressing your disappointment with a modest donation to mikeroweWORKS. Our work ethic scholarship is making a real difference, and your money will be well spent, I promise. The donate button is big and red and hard to miss, at mikeroweworks.org I’d love to chat but I’ve gotta pull a rat out of my toilet…
