A night of deceit. A night of vengeance. A night of sorrows. The end of Phase II is near.

FCC boss Brendan Carr's old tweets resurface after he threatened ABC, which later pulled #JimmyKimmelLive "Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech" "It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion" "That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship" "Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not" "The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the 'public interest'"

Greg Cipes says he was fired by Warner Bros from voicing Beast Boy after over 20 years. He says he was fired the day after he announced that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s

Fox host Trey Gowdy: "We're going to have to have a conversation of freedom versus protecting children. How many school shootings does it take before we're going to have a conversation about keeping firearms out of -- it's always a young white male, almost always."

There is no Batman intro harder than this one btw

Regardless of story quality, Phase 2 leaving all the known characters for storylines that would supposedly resolve years later with brand new writers halted nearly all the Phase 1 momentum. Lucasfilm also pulling away all interviews, press releases, and videos REALLY hurt hype

Also, feel like the lack of community made the initiative fall of hard. I remember the excitement over new concept art and The High Republic show. That drove up sales. Eventually they just sorta stopped, and you can see over time how people lost interest, potentially due to that.

Phase 3 sucked and putting phase 2 as a blast to the past in the middle, made the plot lose all momentum. Just look at the sales of the books, and how many became NYT bestsellers, not many if any for phase 3. The Nihil won at the end of phase 1,and then did sorta nothing

TRIALS OF THE JEDI. The final High Republic novel. June 17, 2025. It’s everything you want. And then some. Available for pre-order everywhere you buy books.

Serious question for #freePalestine. Israel has embassies in NYC, LA, DC, Miami and Houston. If your issue is with Israel and not Jews, why are you protesting outside the holocaust Museum and outside Temples?

I've been playing this long enough to know this was a red herring, but I had to try

@Chree_Essary @BamaAPR @UofAlabama Congratulations!!!! Wishing you the best!

I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining the Department of Advertising + Public Relations @BamaAPR at @UofAlabama this fall as an assistant professor of science communication. I’m beyond grateful for this opportunity and cannot wait to start! Roll Tide!!

Sorry if this was previously covered, but looks like Temptation of the Force now has a release date: June 11, 2024!

Nearly done Eye of Darkness, so should have reviews for both of these books before release date. Unfortunately, High Republic has gone to the back burner as life and school get crazier and crazier 😅

Got some surprise bookmail a few days ago! So happy to get back into phase III
