The Force, IKEA, and Target – Thoughts from May 4, 2024
The force isn’t a real thing, but May the Fourth is. Star Wars nerds unite on this day to celebrate what’s wrong with the movies and television shows they love. I collect Star Wars things, but I’m not obsessive about it. This is just a day that I point out on the Nerd Mouse calendar…
