Seems like a publicity stunt for Musk. He's staked his fortune on turning X into a bastion of free speech. BTW X is almost unusable. Nothing but awful low brow politics and ads for cam girls in my feed. I don't follow any of that crap. I'd really prefer it if my feed was more concerned with my actual interests and not freedom of speech.

Musk needs to figure out that not everyone is being silenced for freedom of speech reasons. A lot of people just don't want to actually listen to what they have to say.

I don’t know what she wrote exactly and while what you’re saying is true, the onus would still be on the employer to prove that what they said did indeed tarnish their brand.

California is an at will employment state (I’m assuming this would be a California lawsuit) so as long as it wasn’t protected grounds then you can fire an employee for any reason and without cause.

Now she might be covered more by the union agreements but if she was a regular employee she’d probably lose.

I’m pretty sure that only applies absent of an employment contract, which she almost certainly had. My guess is they’ll settle out of court.

So I was wrong, Bad Batch drops on the 21st and not the 12th.

Excellent start to the season, and it shows that Filoni is the king of the animated universe

I want to be an Imperial Interior Designer in the Star Wars Universe.

"Okay, so we're going to skip all overhead lighting, we wont need any of that foolishness, we're going to run these sweet red LEDs through the floor, the senseless Obelisks will go here, and here...and over there is the space for your inexplicable bottomless pit!

This is where the elevating throne goes...what else do you need?

How do we heat it?? You're always wearing robes! You dont need central heating!"

Its like that comedy sketch: "Are we the baddies?"

Nobody who designed or built that place could possibly have any question that something nefarious is taking place inside. None.

It may as well have a neon sign outside: "EVIL HEADQUARTERS"

Can we talk about the animation work and art work of this series.


If you go back to Clone Wars season 1, or even that horrible movie to now, its a really stunning difference.



But particularly in last nights episodes.



The shuttle crash animation was almost wall mountable and gorgeous.


Even the backgrounds in that town was great. The close up work on Omega was pretty bad to me, but the rest was a chef's kiss.

In 2003 to avoid going to commercials, Chile cut ads into their star wars broadcasts.
