@arrowsmith77 @bee_buzz5280 @KyleClark So then you’re a Nazi

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/jar…

@Popcorn_Pepe @bee_buzz5280 @KyleClark So?

@arrowsmith77 @bee_buzz5280 @KyleClark He's a gay democrat

@DrMuckduck @KyleClark @GovofCO How was this a leftist move? 😂

@KyleClark You can never be too far left for a Democrat. But one moment of common sense and they’ll eat you alive just like @GovofCO

@bee_buzz5280 @KyleClark Polis isn’t left, numbnuts

@KyleClark Enjoying watching the left eat their own.

@jzux Hell yes

they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night

@Acyn @mehdirhasan I disagree with roughly 99% of his stances but Massie at least has some integrity

Massie: I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent to concede and it took a while to find him in Tel Aviv

@ellelledeell @Edmondos78 @fandompulse How is this appropriation? Black people have always been part of Western culture. Stop being so ahistorical and ignorant

@Edmondos78 @fandompulse It’s not racist for ppl to not want their culture appropriated Please show the same respect to Western culture that other cultures demand & are recognized as entitled to

Christopher Nolan, responding in Time magazine this week to the avalanche of criticism over his Odyssey casting choices: "Hopefully they'll enjoy the film, even if they don't agree with everything. We had a lot of scientists complain about Interstellar. But you just don't want people to think that you took it on frivolously." He built a real seaworthy ship, shot entirely on 70mm IMAX, and spent $250 million. Is Nolan being dismissed too quickly, or did his casting choices earn the backlash?

@JayAndrew82 @fandompulse How’d he butcher it? Have you even seen it yet? Or are you just being a reactionary racist?

Comparing Interstellar to how he butchered one of the most famous stories ever written, just so it could qualify for an Oscar, and appease the Woke crowd is beyond idiotic. Imagine if the next Obama or MLK documentary was played by a white person, or Asian, or Indian for example. The hypocrisy and mental gymnastics these people do to justify their decisions is completely void of reality.

@mzr3456 @TSoS_

@TSoS_ "Mythologically, I believe what it does with Luke Skywalker and the legendary image of him really works." Retarded take of a person who 1) Never liked Star Wars, 2) Never took a Screenwriting 101 course.

I had to sit with it for a few hours to find a fitting conclusion: The Last Jedi is the rare type of movie I find both severely and deliberately misjudged and utterly overrated. On a world-building front, it is entirely un-salvageable, both because J.J. Abrams reset the entire galaxy in TFA (all Jedi dead, New Republic wiped out before we see it, Resistance is 12 guys with duct tape and a dream) and because Rian Johnson doesn't really care to broaden the scope; the conflict feels smaller and smaller as the movies go on. Ending TFA with the handing of the lightsaber to Luke was a brilliant cliffhanger for that movie in 2015, but it completely robbed TLJ of its opportunities. There was no way to set it one or several years after the end of TFA, because the movie had opened questions that needed immediate answers. Because of that, we get no time for the conflict to evolve. Johnson actually *tries* to tackle politics in this movie, but it's only for a few scenes and it ends up being the most surface level analysis possible. It is a film that feels incredibly smug and snarky, because it ridicules the villains in a way that feels like a direct mirror of 2015/16/17/18 Twitter where people believed that clowning on alt right and MAGA idiots would be enough to prevent fascists from taking over. It is politically inept both in the way it presents its characters and in the way its critique of the capitalist system plays out. To this day, people praise how great TLJ's political messages are and I cannot for the life of me understand why. The Poe Dameron - Holdo plot takes up a significant section of the movie and its biggest flaw is how boring it is. Thematically, Poe's journey doesn't work because the lesson he should learn is not supported by the movie itself (everyone else gets heroic moments that are celebrated, it's only wrong when he does it) and the compelling idea of Resistance infighting in a desperate life or death situation plays out by everyone being petty towards each other. When Holdo says that she "kinda likes" Poe after everything that happened between them, it undermines its message even further. Just compare all this to the incredible infighting between the different Rebels in Andor! Mythologically, I believe what it does with Luke Skywalker and the legendary image of him really works. Rey and Kylo Ren are great characters in this movie and their force-bond scenes form a beautiful mythological expansion of force lore. Everyone's performance in this film is great. The fights for Ben Solo's soul and Luke Skywalker's spirit at the heart of this film are fantastic. The big issue with this part of the story is Snoke being clad in so much mystery that you're never able to truly grasp how Ben Solo's fall to the dark side happened. Because of that, the magnitude of it is never properly conveyed; it is difficult to understand how their relationship deteriorated and how Luke ends up at a point where he - if only for a second - contemplates killing Leia & Han's son. Again, this issue largely pertains to the way The Force Awakens was constructed and how almost every key development of the last thirty years is put in the opening crawl or only talked about in passing. I believe TFA should have been focused entirely on Ben Solo's fall and the New Republic's failures as the new government, showing us how and why Kylo Ren and the First Order rose at the same time and making the story of this trilogy far more compelling. Still, you can't all blame it on J.J.; Rian Johnson definitely should have given Luke and Ben's story more room to breathe instead of spending 15 minutes on some Casino planet. It's a shame that after every incredible scene with Rey, Luke and Kylo, it cuts away to Finn and Rose's detour or the slow space chase with Holdo and Poe. Whenever Johnson writes the force-user characters, I am enthralled by it (also thanks to the incredible cinematography). Everything else I can gladly live without. 6.5/10

@FarewellMusk @neeratanden @jaredpolis @VanJones68 Only (semi reasonable) explanation that I can think of. But in tha case, wouldn’t Polis have come out and said so explicitly?

@neeratanden @jaredpolis @VanJones68 didnt he do it to free the water funding that dump had stalled? i dont agree with doing it, but it is 1 explanation.

Fascinating article where we learned that @jaredpolis' clemency council was against it and @VanJones68 was for it This will be a very big stain on the entire career of @JaredPolis, and frankly it is both sad and inexplicable

@SkywardRaven @AngieStutti @Variety Ah gotcha, carry on! 😅

@garnie @daveyseligman

@daveyseligman What miss conduct was he quit of? He was within his rights as the governor

I’m calling on the General Assembly of Colorado to vote to reconvene for special session for the purpose of impeaching or censuring the Governor of Colorado. The Governor commuted Tina Peters’ sentence after the legislative session, likely in an effort to avoid accountability for misconduct. The people of Colorado are demanding accountability.

@adid197159 @daveyseligman She exposed no fraud. Exploited and undercut our electoral system for dipshit conspiracies though.

@daveyseligman Hahaha yes reconvene so all the lunatic Democrats can go on record how mad they are a 70 year old woman won't die in prison for exposing fraud

@SkywardRaven @AngieStutti @Variety Which one of these, in your shitty opinion, isn’t a good actor?

@AngieStutti @Variety Why would he hire shitty DEI actors instead of hiring based on skill?

@IterIntellectus This really sucks

@LaughlandMorgan @neoavatara “Historical”?

@neoavatara I guess it needs to be pointed out that a fantasy movie that's loosely based on Egyptian mythology isn't equivalent to a movie adaption of a historical Greek poem.

MAGA was outraged! Right?

@TSoS_ Such misuse of a terrific actor, too

This guy might just be my least favourite character in all of Star Wars. Absolutely no place in this story. Only there so he can drop a stupid surface-level analysis of politics and capitalism. Utterly boring and meaningless.

@AngieStutti @Variety How’s it erasing culture when it’s a retelling of a seminal story from that culture?

@Variety Because it's an embarrassment and cultural appropriation to use Greek mythology without involving any Greek. This is not diversity! it's erasure of white culture!
