And all of her followers? *PLEASE* follow her example…

Alyssa Milano Calls on Followers to ‘Impeach’ Trump With Yoga Chant

Yes, yes, liberals. if you want change… rely on magic and superstition. That’ll do ‘er.

At least she’s not whacking people with bike locks, burning cars in the streets, sending the National Guard to slaughter wrongthinking citizens…

Oddly, it’ll be in a nine-movie set, including the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy, and the Disney knock-offs. One can hope that the two actual Star Wars trilogies will be released on their own at some point. Perhaps they could package the Disney flicks with Solo and the Holiday Special for a special “Craptacualr Edition.”

Star Wars 9-Movie Collection [Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [Only @ Best Buy]

Probably to be released at the end of March, 2020. The proposed price is $250.

To be released at about the same time is:

Star Trek: The Motion Picture: The Art and Visual Effects

This looks potentially promising. Love it or hate it, Star Trek: the Motionless Picture was a *beautiful* film. And if you pre-order it through one of these links, I’ll get a tiny fraction!

 

And because why not:

Virginia seems to have a problem

Who would have expected that *Virginia* would be the state with the most restrictive gun-grabber laws?

Repeat after these Democrat talking points:

“Nobody is coming to take your guns.” Except, of course, when they are. And in one of the most hilariously ironic headlines of the last decade…

‘The law is the law’: Virginia Democrats float prosecution and National Guard deployment if police don’t enforce gun control

Democrats have repeatedly called for making speech they disagree with illegal, for ignoring the Constitution where it suits them, for using nuclear weapons on American citizens who simply want to be left alone. How is that somehow less impeachment worthy than whatever they frak they were babbling about with Trump?

This made me happier than Danish National Symphony Orchestra videos would normally seem likely to:

And this. Friggen’ this. The best thing about this is just how into it the conductor clearly is:

I’m shocked that it took this long for a “Transformers vs The Terminator” crossover to emerge…

‘Transformers vs. The Terminator’ Crossover Comic Launching in 2020 (Exclusive)

Four part miniseries starting in March.

Comic books have done just about every crossover you can imagine, from the inane “Star Trek vs the X-Men”) to some that worked remarkably well (“RoboCop vs The Terminator,” which, to my decades-old memory of it, had a really rather inspired idea behind it). Recently there was a “Transformers vs Star Trek” crossover that was based on an amusing idea… rather than, say, the Michael Bay-movie Transformers in the JJ Abrams Star Trek universe, it was the 1980’s animated Transformers in the 1970’s animated series Trek universe.

Just based on that image, this seems to have more promise than “Dark Fate” did…

Just a minor FYI: after several months of being out of the drafting business entirely due to moving, and a year or more of a serious slowdown, I’m getting back into it pretty well, averaging one new diagram a day. At the same time I am completely reworking a lot of old ones, greatly improving them and bringing them up to new standards. All in all, going pretty well so far. Obviously I’m being perhaps annoyingly cagey about the subject and the publisher; I’ll keep those under my vest until papers are signed and official announcements and whatnot made.

After an uneventful week, Trump manages to get in the news

With a signature, Trump brings Space Force into being

Around 16,000 active duty Air Force personnel will be temporarily assigned to the Space Force, but only five to six thousand of them will actually become members of the USSF. Eventually the ranks should grow to 15,000… compared to the USAF’s 300,000. The USSF budget for 2020 is a whopping $40 million.

It’s a start, I suppose. But the USSF won’t really come into its own until it starts contracting for the construction of its very own 4,000-ton Orion space battleships.
