Random examples of Jedi BESIDES Anakin and Ahsoka caring about clones in TCW (in chronological order):
Clone Cadets: Shaak Ti basically being the only one fighting to give Domino Squad another chance, telling Lama Su that they can't just cast them aside because they're human beings, and giving Echo and Fives some encouraging words of wisdom.
Ambush: Yoda telling Thire, Jek and Rys, three dudes that he's known for like a day, that they're all unique individuals, pointing out their individual flaws not to disparage them but to teach them and encourage them to use their unique skills to win the day. Also at one point saving them from super battle droids and saying no one will be left behind.
Rising Malevolence: Plo Koon making sure everyone else has boarded an escape pod before getting in one himself, searching for other survivors, and of course the famous "we're meant to be expendable" "not to me" exchange.
Lair of Grievous: Nahdar gets pretty pissed off when Commander Fil is killed by Grievous's pet and Kit tries to console him and says he feels his pain.
Defenders of Peace: Aayla swinging down and saving Bly when he nearly fails to get out of the defoliator's range in time.
Liberty on Ryloth: Mace goes back to help the AT-TE pilot stuck in the cockpit. Later when the bridge is shut off he uses to force to push Razor and Stak so they can make it before getting to safety himself.
Legacy of Terror: Obi-Wan comments how Ki-Adi-Mundi is recovering from his injuries and Mundi laments that he wishes he could say the same for most of his men.
Death Trap: That one guy dies in a booby trap meant for Mace and Mace immediately pulls him out of the wreckage and checks to see if he's alright or not.
Lethal Trackdown: Mace had no intention of going after Boba UNTIL he saw that Boba's crew had three hostages, two of whom were clones, and the only reason he didn't go take care of it himself is because Plo convinced him he was too injured.
Escape from Kadavo: Warthog starts panicking in the heat of battle and Plo calmly talks him through it and when Warthog apologizes Plo says it's alright, it happens to everyone.
Bound for Rescue: Obi-Wan helps an injured pilot up during the fight in the hangar. Later Grievous rather brutally kills a clone in front of him, presumably just to tick him off, and Obi-Wan gives him a hell of a death glare and says he'll regret that.
The entire inhibitor chip arc: Shaak Ti doing her damndest to make sure Fives gets a fair chance to explain himself and repeatedly shutting down Nala Se's attempts to shut him up.
Unfinished Business: Mace telling Obi-Wan to make sure all the men are evacuated from the area while he stays behind to deactivate the bomb.

Victor Morrow (born Victor Morozoff; February 14, 1929 – July 23, 1982) Film and television actor. He came to prominence as one of the leads of the ABC drama series Combat! (1962–1967), which earned him an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Continued Performance by an Actor in a Series. Morrow continued acting up to his death during filming of Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) when he and two child actors were killed by a stunt helicopter crash.
Morrow began appearing on television in the early 1950′s, guest starring on shows like The Millionaire, Matinee Theatre, Climax!, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Restless Gun, Trackdown, Richard Diamond, Private Detective, and Telephone Time.
Despite appearing in movies Morrow remained mostly a television actor, appearing in Naked City, Wichita Town, The Rifleman, The Lineup, Johnny Ringo, The Brothers Brannagan, The Law and Mr. Jones, The Lawless Years, The Barbara Stanwyck Show, General Electric Theatre, Target: The Corruptors, The Tall Man, Outlaws, Bonanza, Death Valley Days, Alcoa Premiere, Suspense, The Immortal, Dan August, Hawaii Five-O, Mannix, Sarge, McCloud, Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law and The Untouchables.
He was cast in the early Bonanza episode "The Avenger" as a mysterious figure known only as "Lassiter" – named after his town of origin – who arrives in Virginia City, and helps save Ben and Adam Cartwright from an unjust hanging, while eventually gunning down one sought-after man, revealing himself as the hunter of a lynch mob who killed his father; having so far killed about half the mob, he rides off into the night, in an episode that resembles the later Clint Eastwood film High Plains Drifter. Morrow later appeared in the third season Bonanza episode "The Tin Badge".  (Wikipedia)
Rick Jason (born Richard Jacobson; May 21, 1923 – October 16, 2000) Film and television actor most remembered for starring in the ABC television drama Combat! (1962–1967).
In the 1950′s Jason received offers for television series. He guest-starred on ABC's anthology series, The Pepsi-Cola Playhouse. In 1954, he played Joaquin Murietta, the notorious Mexican bandit of the California Gold Rush, in an episode of Jim Davis's syndicated western series Stories of the Century, the story of a railroad detective investigating crime in the American West. He appeared on the NBC interview program Here's Hollywood, in the Rawhide episodes "Incident of the Coyote Weed" and "Incident of the Valley in Shadow", and co-starred in 1969 in The Monk.
In 1960, he starred as insurance investigator Robin Scott in The Case of the Dangerous Robin, a syndicated American television series that lasted only one season. It was not renewed due to Jason's health issues, including back problems. In 1962, he began starring in the television series Combat! as Platoon Leader 2nd Lt. Gil Hanley, probably his most memorable role. In this series he shared the starring role in an alternating episode rotation, with Vic Morrow as Sgt. Chip Saunders, though in many episodes they both appeared. The show was a hit that lasted for 152 episodes in five seasons.  (Wikipedia)
The outlandish TV Spoof was the British Series, “The Avengers”, starring Patrick McNee and Honor Blackman.

The Helix Organization began as an experimental program by the same name in the ISO agency. It was pioneered by partners, Alexandra Bellmaker and James Toffer in the late 1990s and was active until 2004 when it was ultimately shut down.  The program was shut down due to its complicated procedures and consecutive failures which throughout its duration as an active program accumulated over 400(plus) deaths of test subjects. It was only able to produce two successful candidates.
The Helix program’s purpose was to introduce chemical enhancements and stimulation into agent’s bodies in order to boost their skillset beyond what it was, as well as make room for new ones to develop. 
Essentially, James and Alexandra felt it was their purpose to create ‘super agents’. However, ISO pulled the plug and upon deciding to shut the program down it was also decided that every subject involved in the experimentation phase would be terminated. So, Alexandra and James went rogue. Their materials, data, and subjects were all believed to be erased, or stowed away behind false identities. The Helix Organization has since resurfaced and rumor has it, infiltrated ISO with proxy agents. No one is sure of their ultimate plan but they pose the ultimate threat to the agency. 
Tumblr media
Although our story is about ISO, other private agencies are mentioned and play a role in telling the story. One such agency is called ‘The High Castle’. It is a Germany-based intelligence agency. They operate primarily on behalf of Germany and aid in counter-intelligence operations with the governing entity on the eastern parts of the globe.  The High Castle is a partner agency to ISO and has conducted several operations jointly sharing information and resources, as well as agents in some cases. 
Tumblr media
The infamous private security agency, WARMIND, has been a well-documented enemy of ISO’s agents for at least a decade now. It seems to be their directive to consistently intervene in ISO operations abroad although no one has managed to trackdown their origin of operation nor has anyone come forward as the brains of the outfit. As far as anyone in ISO is concerned, WARMIND is just a loud, barking dog who sometimes nips. They haven’t managed to do enough credible damage to the operations overseas for ISO to determine them as a direct target. 
Tumblr media
A cyber hacktivist group that has been attempting to reveal ISO to the world for years. This group tends to collect information, photos, and more on the operations in ISO and post them wherever they can on the web in order to bring awareness. ISO has yet to capture more than a single individual, whom the only captive they managed refused to speak to and could not be made to. The hacker now sits behind bars in a high-security facility known as a territory of ISO. The group, however, is still at large and making consistent attempts to expose ISO to the public.

You asked for this! I've got timeline specific questions because I'm struggling either because I can't do math or because it's sw maybe both. Anyway. If Obi-Wan was born in 50 BBY then what is his birthdate called in times of tcw when BBY didn't exist yet? What's the calender before BBY called but also what's Obi-Wans birthdate!! I've been losing my mind over this and I'm actually so frustrated. Help lumi 🥺
*HAND SHOOTS UP*  I CAN HELP WITH THIS. BUT FIRST THE LINER NOTES: - This is sourced to only one reference book, BUT it was an in-canon reference book, meaning it was written as a text that exists within the GFFA, not as an omniscient Doylist reference book. - It’s never specifically said this is the dating system used, but in lieu of having literally nothing else, I actually love it. - Everyone is perfectly free to ignore this niche content and do whatever works best for your fic!!! So, Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious had several pages on the prequels:
Tumblr media
This system of numbers is called the C.R.C. in the book! We don’t know what that stands for (probably something like Centralized Republic Calendar or Common Republic Calendar maybe?) and we’re doing a lot of guesswork, but those numbers line up exactly with the BBY dates used out-of-universe. Using the BBY/ABY system, we know: - Attack of the Clones takes place in 22 BBY (Padme’s assassination attempt) - Nack Movers died in 21 BBY - Rogue One takes place in 0 BBY - A New Hope takes place in 0 BBY / ABY (destruction of the Death Star, Leia’s arrest warrant), the film was also released in 1977 in our world - Empire Strikes Back takes place in 3 ABY (Han Solo frozen in carbonite) Now compare these to the dates we have for some of these (mostly) known events in Scum and Villainy with what we know of the BBY/ABY events: - 7951.131.6 is a Quinlan Vos security image (26 BBY) - 7955.314.3 is a security image of a Coco Town Eatery (Dex’s Diner) (22 BBY) - 7955.422.1 is Padme’s assassination attempt (22 BBY) - 7956.101.2 is Nack Movers’ death from TCW s02e11 Lightsaber Lost - 7656.103.1 is when Boba Fett was first imprisoned by the Judiciary from TCW s02e22 Lethal Trackdown (21 ABY) - 7956.123.2 is the Moogan tea from TCW s03e05 Corruption on Mandalore - 7956.901.3 is “Rako Hardeen’s” arrest from TCW s04e15-s04e18 (20 BBY) - 7956.881.4 is Moralo Eval’s intake holo/arrest (21 BBY) - 7956.919.5 is Han Solo’s arrest warrant (21 BBY) - 7957.101.4 is Bail Organa and Mon Mothma security image (20 BBY) - 7957.338.1 is a Hondo Ohnaka security image (20 BBY) - 7957.910.3 is a Senate District Law Enforcement Recruitment Poster (20 BBY) - 7957.203.3 is the Jedi Temple bombing from TCW s05e17 (19 BBY) - 7973.121.0 is the date on Ketsu Onyo’s bounty hunter profile (4 BBY) - 7976.994.5 is Jyn Erso’s arrest warrant, which was set before Rogue One (1 BBY) - 7977.331.3 is Leia’s arrest warrant which happened after the events of ANH (0 BBY / 0 ABY) - 7977.934.1 is Aphra’s wanted file (0 BBY / 0 ABY) - 7980.421.2 is Han being sealed in carbonite, which happened during ESB (3 ABY) - 8009.332.1 is a patrol of New Republic guards (32 ABY) So, I’m cribbing from myself from this post if you want a longer, more detailed version of the different calendars used in the GFFA (and what they change to once the Empire takes over, then once the New Republic takes over) as well as @glompcat has a lot of excellent posts on their Scum and Villainy tag. But the basic gist of it seems to be that the Republic during the PT (again, in lieu of anything else that has ever touched on this!) would be to say it took place in the ‘50s or ‘950s CRC. So, if someone asked, “When were you born?”, Obi-Wan would answer with, “I was born in ‘18.” or “I was born in 7918.” (Or “‘918″, maybe?  Go with what feels natural.) since he was born in 57 BBY. (At least according to the trading cards, I think?  But 57 sounds about right for how old he was when he died.) Some helpful numbers to give you a scope of things: - Obi-Wan was born in 7918 CRC - Anakin and Grogu were born in 7936 CRC - The Phantom Menace takes place in 7945 CRC - Attack of the Clones takes place/The Clone Wars starts in 7955 CRC - Revenge of the Sith takes place in 7958 CRC - The war in TCW lasts from 7955 CRC to 7958 CRC

A U2 fan told me she stood over 12 hours in line in the 97 degree heat to see the iconic Irishmen this past Sunday. She was not alone. Thousands of other die-hard fans braved heat exhaustion outside Pasadena’s Rose Bowl Stadium just to ensure a good spot in the general admission pit.
Performing their inspiring lyrics and soaring guitar anthems with vitality, U2 makes it evident during their concerts why they have such a loyal fan base.
U2—comprised of vocalist Bono, guitarist and keyboardist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton, and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. –came out to play a mind blowing two-hour set in honor of their groundbreaking 1987 album, The Joshua Tree.
  The Joshua Tree ponders the core values of the American dream. These tracks reflect drug addiction, war, death, and discrimination. These powerful themes are every bit as relevant now as they were in the 80s.
The band took the B-stage for the opener, “Sunday Bloody Sunday” off the 1983 album, War. Next, The Edge riffed right into the ‘lightning in a bottle’ jam, “New Year’s Day.” Bono delivered a passionate plea for peace in “Pride (In the Name of Love)” from The Unforgettable Fire, which pays tribute to the late Martin Luther King Jr. before moving to the main stage, where the real treat was in store.
Fans were awed as a giant black Joshua tree silhouette was illuminated against an enormous blood-red LED screen
“Where the Streets Have No Name” and “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” provided a theme park motion simulator ride experience with a walking tour through Death Valley. The band performed “With Or Without You” in front of the majestic Zabriskie Point.  Vibrant multi-colored Joshua trees lit up the night during “In God’s Country.” A full pink moon shined on “One Tree Hill.” The song was dedicated to Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, who passed away a week ago.
The tempo slowed down with the darker themed “Running to Stand Still,” which featured a beautiful musical interplay between Bono’s harmonica and The Edge’s keyboard. The duo showed off their stellar chemistry to the roaring approval of the stadium.
“Thank you for letting us Irish into your country. We promise not to leave it as it is,” said Bono.
U2’s music is well known for its politically and socially powered messages. Bono sprinkled his thoughts on equality and the need to unite rather than divide throughout the show, and utilized the screen to drive the point home.
Before “Exit” the screen played a clip from the 1958 western, Trackdown, depicting a sleazy salesman named Walter Trump who tries to frighten a small town into building a protective wall.
“Miss Sarajevo” brought the attention to the current U.S. immigration policy with a clip of a young Syrian girl who dreams of coming to America, a place she refers to as a civil land of dreams where people can be happy. A large banner of the girl was passed around the stadium as Bono cried out “Here she comes/heads turn around/here she comes/to take her crown.”
“If we don’t organize, then we agonize. Nothing scares the shite out of the government more than when millions get organized,” Bono advised.
The mood picked back up for the encore.
“Beautiful Day” brought joy accompanied by a psychedelic light show.  Bono’s signature raspy vocals weaved through The Edge’s pitch shifter during the bridge, as Bono changed the lyrics to sing about Los Angeles.
“Ultraviolet (Light My Way)” honored all women, using the LED screen to flash images of historical female figures such as Oprah Winfrey, Rosa Parks, Ellen DeGeneres, and Susan B. Anthony to name a few.
U2 closed out the show with a new song, “The Little Things That Give You Away.” This new song is to be featured on the upcoming release, Songs of Experience, which serves as the sequel to the 2014 album, Songs of Innocence.
U2: The Joshua Tree Tour is not to be missed! The band revisits their post punk roots through the desert imagery and symbolic ‘American Dream’ ideology. These classics may be over three decades old but this band still performs them with as much heart and soul as the day they were recorded. Visually and musically inspiring, U2 continues to raise the bar on the live concert experience.

BrainChip AI technology to be deployed by France Police to trackdown crime
Tumblr media
The company’s SNAP technology is deploying its Artificial Intelligence technology to support France Police solve crime issues. The Artificial technology which is well known as  "Brain Chip" .The SNAP technology mimics the human brain.
Tumblr media
The company’s SNAP technology is based in Perth City in Western Australia, A Technology that Learns Like the Human Brain.Spiking Neuron Adaptive Processor (SNAP) is a technology that consists of many custom-designed cores that operate in parallel, making it significantly faster than software neural networks that run on a CPU or a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). What makes our technology exciting is that it learns from experience, autonomously like a human learns. It does not need to be trained with millions of samples like Deep Learning, it learns in seconds. BrainChip executive director Peter van der Made is the brains behind the company's technology, which is 10 years in the making at the Department of Commerce-backed Innovation Centre of WA in Bentley and also in California. Toulouse National Police chief of indictable offences, Inspector Jean-Francois Lespes, said his officers had partnered with BrainChip before on some previous investigations.he made this pronouncement concerning brainchip “With this new evaluation protocol, we will have the opportunity to extensively use and evaluate the SNAPvision solution for our investigative requirements,” he said. This new technology has the ability to learn autonomously, evolve and associate information just like the human brain. The technology is user configurable to meet a wide range of applications.The technology will be rolled out at the Toulouse branch of the national police in the hope that it will enable officers to decrease the time and manpower needed to solve crimes situations. BrainChip announced today that the French National Police is going to trial its Spiking Neuron Adaptive Processor (SNAP) technology which will allow officers to rapidly scan through terabytes of recorded video to search for identifying characteristics such as faces, body shapes and clothing patterns.Tracking crime culprits is not going to be a headache to the french national police. SNAP is more energy efficient, enabling SNN to be integrated into portable devices for the local processing of sensor data. SNAP based neural networks can respond in real time with low latency, regardless of the neural network size. SNAP also implements learning rules in hardware, enabling Autonomous Features Extraction (AFE) directly from input data without the need for any software processing.
Do You Know How SNAP Works?
Tumblr media
The neurons we have developed autonomously learn through a process known as STDP (Synaptic Time Dependent Plasticity). Our fully digital neurons process input spikes directly in hardware and are all updated in parallel, which means that the response time of the network is independent of the network size. Sensory neurons convert physical stimuli into spikes. Learning occurs when the input is intense, or repeating through feedback at each neuron and this is directly correlated to the way the brain learns. Depending on power consumption requirements, the SNAP technology can run at the speed of biological neurons or up to 1,000x faster. Software Neural Networks are limited in speed and complexity by the sequential processing method of a computer. SNAP operates completely in parallel with no dependence on software, which gives it its speed advantage. Click to Post

A 1958 episode of “Trackdown”, a little known CBS TV western imagines a demagogue named Walter Trump attempting to convince a town that only he can save them from threats outside their borders. The comparisons to US President #45 are uncanny.

Character Actress
Virginia Lee Gregg (March 6, 1916 – September 15, 1986)  Actress known for her many roles in radio dramas and television series.
Gregg once said of her work as a character actress on television: "I work steadily, but I have no identity." She added, "When casting people have a call for a woman who looks like the wrath of God, I'm notified." On television, Gregg  appeared in nearly every narrative television series in the late '50s through the early 1970s, including Bourbon Street Beat, Hawaiian Eye, 77 Sunset Strip, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Lawman, Perry Mason, The Rockford Files, Maverick, The Virginian, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Wagon Train, Trackdown, Make Room for Daddy, Philip Marlowe, My Favorite Martian, Twilight Zone, Hazel, and Kung Fu.
Gregg may be best remembered for her many appearances in Dragnet. Jack Webb used her in dozens of roles on both the radio and TV versions of the show, as well as in the 1954 film version of Dragnet. In later years, she appeared on other shows produced by Webb's production company, Mark VII Limited (e.g., Adam-12, Emergency!). (Wikipedia)

WE HAVE A SYSTEM OF CALENDAR FOR THE REPUBLIC. Thanks to @glompcat and their amazing posts about Scum and Villainy, as well as their observation about the dates being used for these events, we have the C.R.C.! Scum and Villainy is an in-world reference book (which means that the narrator is deliberately written as biased, as the author has explicitly confirmed, as well as is evidenced in many places in the book itself, with things we know aren’t true, like Palpatine’s genial facade, etc.) but the date stamps are accurate information.  Some of the ones we already knew (using the BBY / ABY - Before the Battle of Yavin / After the Battle of Yavin system, which sets A New Hope as Year 0) are: - Attack of the Clones takes place in 22 BBY (Padme’s assassination attempt) - Nack Movers died in 21 BBY - Rogue One takes place in 0 BBY - A New Hope takes place in 0 BBY / ABY (destruction of the Death Star, Leia’s arrest warrant), the film was also released in 1977 in our world - Empire Strikes Back takes place in 3 ABY (Han Solo frozen in carbonite) Now compare these to the dates we have for some of these (mostly) known events: - 7955.422.1 is Padme’s assassination attempt (22 BBY) - 7956.101.2 is Nack Movers’ death from TCW s02e11 Lightsaber Lost - 7656.103.1 is when Boba Fett was first imprisoned by the Judiciary from TCW s02e22 Lethal Trackdown (21 ABY) - 7956.123.2 is the Moogan tea from TCW s03e05 Corruption on Mandalore - 7956.901.3 is “Rako Hardeen’s” arrest from TCW s04e15-s04e18 (20 BBY) - 7957.203.3 is the Jedi Temple bombing from TCW s05e17 (19 BBY) - 7973.121.0 is the date on Ketsu Onyo’s bounty hunter profile (4 BBY) - 7976.994.5 is Jyn Erso’s arrest warrant, which was set before Rogue One (1 BBY) - 7977.331.3 is Leia’s arrest warrant which happened after the events of ANH (0 BBY / 0 ABY) - 7977.934.1 is Aphra’s wanted file (0 BBY / 0 ABY) - 7980.421.2 is Han being sealed in carbonite, which happened during ESB (3 ABY) - 8009.332.1 is a patrol of New Republic guards (32 ABY) This book is written during the New Republic, which was after the dissolution of using the Empire’s calendar system.  There’s a page from Rebel Files (also via the wonderful glompcat!) that mentions it, along with Leia’s annoyance at having to deal with it:

This was from a meeting to organize the Rebellion, dated 14  AFE - 17 AFE (5 BBY - 8 BBY), her note saying, “In addition to wiping away the Republic, the Emperor reset the dating system to the time before the formation of the Empire and the time after it’s formation--yet another display of his absolute control. --Leia”. Once the New Republic came into power, they seem to have gone back to the C.R.C method, which dates back to some event nearly 8,000 years ago, likely the formation of the original Republic? As for what C.R.C. stands for, I don’t believe we have any information on that yet, but R is probably Republic and at least one of them is Calendar.  Perhaps Centralized Republic Calendar or Common Republic Calendar?  It’s also not yet known how the second and third sections work out--since they seem to be based on 999 before the year ticks over?  Though, the ABY / BBY years (which correspond to the CRC years, ie the year is the same length of time) seem to be based on one year our time, so perhaps the second number (which likely refers to days) is based on half-days instead of full days? Regardless, WE HAVE THE BASIC STRUCTURE FOR A CALENDAR FOR STAR WARS IN UNIVERSE!  (Thanks once again to glompcat and their tremendous work in taking pics and graciously allowing me to collate it and write up a post about it and their fantastic observations about all of this!)
