I just watched ep IV for the first time in a long time immediately after catching up with Andor and I gotta agree with Will lmao
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social· 8 May 2025It actually is super interesting to find the hidden political values underneath seemingly apolitical works of pop culture - Lord of the Rings' inherent conservatism, for instance - but I think even by THOSE standards the original Star Wars trilogy is basically political inert.

react-native-windows/macos is insanely goated. it’s like if you took the best parts of electron (getting to write code in typescript, the best language) and removed the worst part (the web browser)
