INT -- DEATH STAR BRIDGE

Darth Vader and two guards lead Princess Leia, bound in handcuffs, before Grand Moff Tarkin and Admiral Motti.

TARKIN: Princess Leia, before your execution, I would like you to be my guest at a ceremony that will make this battle station operational. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now!

LEIA: The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

TARKIN: Not after we demonstrate the power of this station! Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the Rebel base, I have chosen to test this station's destructive power on your home planet of Alderaan.

LEIA: And you claim that this station is yours?

TARKIN (impatiently): Yes, yes, of course we claim that!

LEIA: Well, I call un-claimsies! (beat) And now I call claimsies.

MOTTI (to Tarkin, sotto voce): It's an older code, Sir, but it checks out.

Finally managed to sleep all the way through the night last night, after a couple of weeks of insomnia. It's probably not a coincidence that those couple of weeks coincided with my wife being out of town helping her mother after hip surgery, or that last night was our first night back together again.

Content warning:former US president, NFTs

Trump is apparently selling NFTs of himself dressed up as a superhero, shooting laser beams from his eyes. Which is unintentionally perfect: the narcissistic, racist, power-mad Homelander from #TheBoys is a perfect portrayal of him.
