Out of the Blue

CNN reports on the impact of today's deadline that requires U.S. domestic air travelers to present REAL ID-compliant identification. I find it weird that this is surprising anyone, as the REAL ID act was passed in 2005 and the original deadline for new ID was 2008. But 20 years(!) after it was mandated, and 17 years after it was first supposed to take effect, this is still catching people off guard.

After Lucas proved that he no longer gave much of a shit about his own universe with the prequels, I'm pretty tepid about all things Star Wars. Disney is laughably awful, but Lucas had already started to ruin Star Wars himself, so how upset can I really be? I tried watching Andor, and while it was certainly the only above average thing that has been done with Star Wars in decades, I couldn't even muster the energy to watch the whole first season. I only watched the entirety of The Acolyte because I wanted to see just how awful it could get. It was a morbid curiosity akin to watching a street fight between 2 drunk, obnoxious jerks.
