<br/><br/>And here, dear reader, is Marcia Lucas, George Lucas’s ex-wife, describing her reaction to The Phantom Menace (I learned of this from the podcast):
<br/><br/>❝George is, in his heart and soul, a good guy and a talented filmmaker. I wish he would’ve kept directing [other kinds of] movies. But when I went to see Episode I — I had a friend who worked at ILM, who took me as a guest to a preview — I cried. I cried because I didn’t think it was very good. And I thought he had such a rich vein to mine, a rich palette to tell stories with. He had all those characters. I thought it was weird that the story was about this little boy who looked like he was six years old, but then later on he’s supposed to get with this princess who looked like she was twenty years old. There were things I didn’t like about the casting, and things I didn’t like about the story…it was a lot of eye candy.

And this is both physical borders like the border between us in Mexico, and like what you&#39;re seeing right now with the attempt to legislate like what counts as a woman, with all these anti-trans things. Both of those borders are maintained by men with guns, with violence. There&#39;s the threat of violence behind building every one of those borders. If you cross this border, or at least cross it in the wrong way, force will be used against you. Every democracy does this, and it does this not just in terms of who can enter the country, but who gets to vote.<br/>[...]<br/>. . . because what you do as the reactionary is you find that border wherever it exists, and you start pushing inward. And as you start pushing inward from that border, you will start fracturing the democratic consensus that exists until you can destroy democracy. And that&#39;s how you gain power as a reactionary movement within a liberal That&#39;s how you destroy liberalism. You find the border that they placed and you start pushing inwards. That&#39;s what Carl realizes, and that&#39;s what he lays out, and it works today as well as it did back then.❞<br/><br/><a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-carl-schmitt-the-mind-276486999/">https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-carl-schmitt-the-mind-276486999/</a><br/><br/>#fascism 2025-06-07T16:43:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstv6aufvq2rgzg63petjsjjx527jcmwz385s4txqr4skwp05m7mtgzyq5gy4vahp9932zsqlyxcxx07k0s72jtgq4epkcysr2ssqmt4ms5wte3xvl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9uf0jmn6t2nuwjdrf00usslvajy4qs6auccqeftctxaw3cjnr7ss7tx7cn'>nevent1q…x7cn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>💯💯💯<br/><br/>His lies are just . . . so blatant, so constant.<br/><br/>A compilation site of them: <br/><br/><a href="https://elonmusk.today/">https://elonmusk.today/</a><br/><br/>#musk #elonMusk #tesla 2025-05-30T17:34:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9d88cznj5wa4s5a0j40ty8tly2zafzas3t6d0ax673xqc76vmlaqzyq5gy4vahp9932zsqlyxcxx07k0s72jtgq4epkcysr2ssqmt4ms5wmxpdn7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswmnzdnwalptph2996l39zpw62fz7humu6ns6xwupvg7qcekpyplg7kmjhe'>nevent1q…mjhe</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>*pride husky has entered the chat*<br/><br/>🌈 🐺<br/> <img src="https://todon.eu/system/media_attachments/files/114/591/734/785/150/061/original/9824bd168626e5ec.png"> <br/> 2025-05-29T15:06:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf2y3hyvsy85hjd07rt0dckve8unpkv9xhuu47phhmls7spt4xyjszyq5gy4vahp9932zsqlyxcxx07k0s72jtgq4epkcysr2ssqmt4ms5wg9u0qf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxl27n99gykfhvchr63zljtthyvpfdsvmw4str6mwhg8ahsz5zhnsqtgukv'>nevent1q…gukv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/> <img src="https://todon.eu/system/media_attachments/files/114/520/822/384/447/402/original/5489b8d34ee50b11.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-05-17T02:31:35Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0q2jkmnxjr0acgd0p84d9t7fdguqafpqfh608uj9cku2mtkrw55czyq5gy4vahp9932zsqlyxcxx07k0s72jtgq4epkcysr2ssqmt4ms5w8ndr98 Pic 1: A wild “Pink Lady’s Slipper” orchid found on a favorite mountain hike in #WNC <br/><br/>Pic 2: I was appreciating the various shades of the sections of the wet rock.<br/><br/>#silentSunday #mosstodon #lichenSubscribe<br/> <img src="https://todon.eu/system/media_attachments/files/114/449/998/154/945/379/original/8451fd398d592eca.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://todon.eu/system/media_attachments/files/114/449/998/298/810/370/original/6cb582128b7733a6.jpg"> <br/> 2025-05-04T14:22:30Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2lmnjccyjqudg7wuqf5tljj7q7c2vr7nwmz06a8yyy6pdqjhv3fszyq5gy4vahp9932zsqlyxcxx07k0s72jtgq4epkcysr2ssqmt4ms5wkzrjcm Y&#39;all.
