My second book, The STAR WARS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF STARFIGHTERS AND OTHER VEHICLES was published today, from @DKBooks. It’s always a crazy feeling to see my name *anywhere* close to the @STARWARS logo … and this time it’s very, very close. Insane. Thank you.

Besides being nakedly racist and bigoted, this is just hilariously wrong on all levels. I mean, Omar Yaghi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year, and he won the Wolf Prize in 2018. And that's just one example. He also said Arabs don't produce any literature. Last year's winner of the National Book Award was Lebanese writer and painter Rabih Alameddine. The winner in non-fiction? Egyptian-American journalist Omar El Akkad.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

ILM sends its condolences to the family and loved ones of actor Walter Koenig, best known for portraying Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek series and the first seven Star Trek films. ILM had the immense pleasure of working with Koenig on Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan for scenes involving the Ceti eels and the creation of an oversized 'Chekov ear.'

He was born in 1946 in a lake. He died in 2455 reentering orbit. He was an astronaut.
Can you believe he’s going to take Manhattan one day

Brandon Wainerdi of Talking Bay 94 says without The Phantom Menace, you don't get the Avengers, and before that came the VFX groundwork of Young Indy. Now on The Young Indy Chroniclers: youtu.be/1crxm-Nyz_w?si=gMQY… Do you remember seeing the podrace for the first time?

Texas is all in on AI. The school is launching Bevo Lab, a 25,000-square-foot sports AI hub, and coaches are already quizzing Google’s Gemini about opponents. @kirkgoldsberry: “The biggest mystery here is why did it take so freaking long for this to happen at a university?”

Do NOT tag my parents
Brandon Wainerdi of Talking Bay 94 found Indiana Jones the way most 90s kids did, at Blockbuster. His dad rented Raiders because Han Solo was in it, but it didn't go as planned. Now on The Young Indy Chroniclers: youtu.be/1crxm-Nyz_w?si=n19l… How did you first see Indiana Jones?

Charles Barkley: "Should we be standing this close to Shaq?... He's been hanging out with Kash Patel. That's dangerous." Ernie Johnson: "Oooh! Ooooh! Oh, I didn't know you were going there. But I should have known you would."

If we’re talking about YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING hats - unfortunately Billy is wearing my absolute #1 favorite hat (black and yellow Deep Eddy Cabaret trucker) when we re-meet him on the gun range in Texas.
in a documentary all about unsettling questions, one stood out to me above the rest. why is billy wearing a hat that appears to be a 2005 free Miller Park handout I got in high school?

In TX it’s a safety valve for anti Paxton votes
I like Matthew McConaughey's takes on how to cook a steak or make tuna salad but telling people to vote for independent candidates in '26 is FUCKING NUTS. It's a binary choice and if you vote for anyone other than a Democrat you help Trump.
