Star Wars Ep IV: A New Hope tidbit for the day -- (link) - budice Mar 23, 12:34 9
- interesting -- nm - JaxSean Mar 23, 12:39 2
  - See below. It was in the briefing in the movie. People just remember it the way it *seems* like it would be. -- nm - Spawn Mar 23, 12:52 1
    - But, being a sphere, in space, direction has little meaning. Also, most people may not have seen such graphics and were marveling at the tech. -- nm - zork Mar 23, 13:22
- Uhm, did you not watch the briefing? -- (pic) - Spawn Mar 23, 12:39 [Attachment] 4

Maybe it makes me a bad person - but I really want bad things to happen to Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Lindsey Graham and their ilk. nm - Uhtred, son of Uhtred Mar 23, 12:27 21

  - Are you just now discovering that there's hypocrisy from 90% of senators in Supreme Court hearings? -- nm - Ender, nocturnal dumpster goblin Mar 23, 14:50
  - Trick question, Barrett never tried a case in court -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 23, 14:03
  - Realising this is a rhetorical question - he asked Coney-Barrett if she spoke any foreign languages and what advice she would give to little girls -- (link) - Roger More Mar 23, 13:47 1
    - He asked Kavanaugh if he planned to play basketball on the court on the roof of the USSC -- (link) - Roger More Mar 23, 13:51
- They are just making a show for their base. Senate judicial confirmations are the worst, most devolved form of political theater. -- nm - con_carne Mar 23, 12:32
- They are grade A CHOADS and I can't stand them. I immediately shut down when they start talking -- nm - St. Epiphany Mar 23, 12:29
