Ted Cruz Blasted Over This Galactic Mishap In Tucker Carlson Swipe
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was roasted out of the galaxy on Wednesday after he used the iconic 'Star Wars' franchise to jab at former Fox News host Tucker Carlson over his awkward interview moment. Carlson — who has opposed U.S. involvement in Israel's war with Iran — asked Cruz for Iran's population and questioned him over why he couldn't cite such a figure of a country he seeks to 'topple.' Cruz hit back by remarking that he doesn't go around 'memorizing population tables.' A clip of their clash drew more than 34 million views on X, formerly Twitter, leading Cruz to post a seemingly AI-generated image of Carlson asking Luke Skywalker for the population of the Death Star (a space station for the autocratic Galactic Empire and a superweapon that Skywalker destroys in the first 'Star Wars' film). Eagle-eyed 'Star Wars' fans on X swiftly took down Cruz's swipe at Carlson by noting that Skywalker — in the 1996 book 'Shield of Lies' — added up the number of people killed on the Death Star (the book is, notably, no longer considered part of the canon). Others shared a different take on the Carlson-Skywalker comic by sharing an AI-generated illustration of the former Fox News host asking Grand Moff Tarkin — the commander of the Death Star — for the population of Alderaan, a planet he destroys with the space station's laser in the first film. Cruz has claimed to be a big 'Star Wars' fan, telling ABC News in 2015 that presidential candidates who are asked which character they'd be in the franchise 'ought to be eliminated right off the bat' if they named Skywalker. He went on to tell the network that Han Solo was the 'coolest character in all of cinema' before sharing his impressions of Yoda and Darth Vader. Check out how 'Star Wars' fans and others reacted to Cruz's post below. Real Star Wars heads know that in Shield of Lies (1996) Luke reveals he has memorized the exact number of people he killed on the Death Star and their stations, and that the weight of it stays with him constantly. Loser. — F♯A♯∞, fka ☕️ (@coopercooperco) June 18, 2025 I've fixed it… — FAM (@The_Beast63) June 18, 2025 1. Iran is a foreign country with an ancient history, not a starship in a fictional movie.2. Pretty sure Luke Skywalker and the Resistance knew the population of the Death Star.3. The arrogance of comparing yourself to Luke when you're clearly part of the Empire…. sheesh. — Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) June 18, 2025 The Death Star was a space station built by an authoritarian regime in Star Wars. Its destruction was portrayed as an act of rebellion against tyranny. Focusing solely on its population ignores the fact that it was a weapon of mass destruction used to annihilate planets. — David Leavitt 🎲🎮🧙♂️🌈 (@David_Leavitt) June 18, 2025 and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad. — Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) June 18, 2025 — Sami Gold (@souljagoytellem) June 18, 2025 If 90 million civilians had lived on the Death Star, would that perhaps have been relevant to the morality of blowing it up? — Ben Burgis (@BenBurgis) June 18, 2025 You can tell not knowing even basic facts about the country he wants us to intervene in really got under his skin by how his PR strategy around it is so fumbling and embarrassing — Andrés Pertierra (@ASPertierra) June 18, 2025 Someone didn't understand the movie — The Real Zim Shady (@zimranjacob) June 18, 2025 This guy won the U.S. National Debating Championship in 1992.

Costco's Newest Product Is Generating Tons Of Mixed Reviews — Here's My Brutally Honest Opinion After Trying It
Costco has a knack for spotting a food trend the moment it tips from niche to mainstream and then rolling out a tray that feeds half the neighborhood. The Chicken Street Tacos showed up just as weeknight taco trucks became a thing. A Frozen Strawberry Lemonade slid into the food court the second every drive-thru debuted its slushy version. Now the warehouse has set its sights on birria — the slow-braised, chile-rich beef you dunk in consommé until your fingertips match the sunset. The online buzz was mixed before I even unboxed it. On TikTok, @yungfoodbeast shows off a dramatic cheese pull and calls the tacos 'fire." While @photogami (aka The Sushi Guy) takes a more hands-on approach, he dips each taco in the consommé for extra moisture, sets them in a lightly oiled skillet, then presses and flips until the tortillas pick up that deep-orange quesabirria crust and the cheese melts right back where it belongs. He's into the beef, tender, well-seasoned — no complaints there. But he still raises an eyebrow at the total price, skillet success or not. I found the tray right next to the Chicken Street Tacos, and it drew a small crowd the moment I paused for a photo. Sydney Martin One shopper even tapped my shoulder to see if I'd tried it yet. Field research nearly turned into a jump scare, but her curiosity told me everything about the aisle's vibe: cautious excitement and a little sticker shock. Before I committed, I zoomed in on the shelf tag: Birria Taco Meal Kit — $6.49 per pound, eight tacos, Jack cheese, corn tortillas, Spanish-style rice, plus a cup of consommé. Sydney Martin Costco doesn't hide the math, but that per-pound price can feel friendly until you realize the tray weighs almost four pounds, which puts you north of $25 the moment it lands in your cart. Credit where it's due: The packaging team makes this feel like a true crowd-pleaser. Still, I found myself doing the quiet Costco math in my head, wondering whether this was a clever illusion or a genuine bulk bargain. Sticker shock continued at home, so out came the scale. The kit weighs 3.89 pounds. All eight tacos together weigh just under two pounds. Sydney Martin My camera had trouble capturing the digital scale numbers, but the official weight was 28.30 ounces. When I opened one and weighed only the filling, it was roughly two ounces. Add it up, and you're looking at a total of about a pound of beef. Sydney Martin The rest of the weight is 17 ounces of consommé, 15.9 ounces of Spanish-style rice, and two lime wedges. Sydney Martin In dollars, roughly $11.50 pays for the tacos; the remaining $13-plus covers broth, rice, and citrus. Suddenly $6.49 a pound feels less friendly. Cooking was by the book: tacos straight on a sheet pan (I skipped parchment — poor choice) at 375°F for 20 minutes. Halfway through, white rivers of cheese were already bonding to the pan. Sydney Martin While the tacos baked, the consommé warmed on the stove, and the rice took a quick two-minute spin in the microwave. Sydney Martin Taste time. The beef? Tender, well-seasoned, still juicy after the oven stint, and excellent once dunked in the broth. The tortillas? Dry going in, tough coming out. A skillet crisp could help, but that's not what the box asks for. The consommé is flavorful, warm, and lightly spicy, but realizing seven of my dollars floated away in that pot dampens the glow. The rice lands squarely in the filler category: dry, lightly seasoned, and easy to ignore once the tacos disappear. Then there's the Chicken Street Taco comparison. That tray costs about $15, makes a dozen tacos, and throws in slaw, salsa, and crema, which works out to roughly $1.25 a taco. The birria kit costs north of three dollars per taco, offers fewer servings, and arrives without extras. Feed more than three hungry people, and eight tacos vanish in a blink. Sydney Martin Verdict: flavorful filling and chewy shells, but a premium price. If Costco softens the tortillas or trims a few dollars, I'll happily buy it again. Until then, the Chicken Street Tacos stay in the cart, and real birria cravings will send me to my favorite truck. Have you tried Costco's birria kit? Did the tortillas break your heart, or am I underselling them? Drop your thoughts in the comments! Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye on the prepared-foods case (and that price tag) to see whether this tray sticks around or drifts off when the next trend rolls in. Got a serious craving for tacos now?

Carol Kaye Declines Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction
Carol Kaye, one of the most recorded bassists of all time, has declined the invitation to attend this year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. 'People have been asking: NO I won't be there,' wrote Kaye in a Facebook post shared on Wednesday. 'I am declining the rrhof awards show (and denny tedesco process)…..turning it down because it wasn't something that reflects the work that Studio Musicians do and did in the golden era of the 1960s Recording Hits.' More from Rolling Stone Cyndi Lauper on Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction: 'If You Persist, You Prevail' Warren Zevon's Son Thinks His Dad Would Be Proud to Enter the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Guitarist Kim Thayil on Soundgarden's Hall of Fame Induction: 'Chris Cornell Would Be Proud' During the Sixties and Seventies, Kaye became part of a group of session musicians known as the Wrecking Crew, a collective often called upon by the Beach Boys, Phil Spector, the Monkees, and more. However, in her post, the 90-year-old musician criticized the group's name, while emphasizing the collaborative nature of studio musicians. '[Y]ou are always part of a TEAM, not a solo artist at all….there were always 350-400 Studio Musicians (AFM Local 47 Hollywood) working in the busy 1960s, and called that ONLY ….since 1930s, I was never a 'wrecker' at all….that's a terrible insulting name,' she wrote. While Kaye featured in Denny Tedesco's 2008 documentary, The Wrecking Crew, she has long objected to the name, stating that the collective didn't use it and that drummer Hal Blaine was the one who dubbed the group. 'Just so you know, as a working Jazz musician (soloing jazz guitar work) in the 1950s working since 1949, I was accidentally asked to record records by producer Bumps Blackwell in 1957, got into recording good music, w/Sam Cooke, other artists and then accidentally placed on Fender Precision Bass mid 1963 when someone didn't show,' Kaye continued. 'I never played bass in my life but being an experienced recording guitarist, it was plain to see that 3 bass players hired to play 'dum-de-dum' on record dates, wasn't getting it…..it was easy for me to invent good bass lines…..as a Jazz musician, you invent every note you play……and they used a lot of Jazz musicians (and former big-band experienced musicians on all those rock and pop dates too).' The famed bassist ended her note by declaring, 'I refuse to be part of a process that is something else rather than what I believe in, for others' benefit and not reflecting on the truth – we all enjoyed working with EACH OTHER.' Kaye was set to receive the Musical Excellence Award at the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Nov. 8 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Other inductees this year include Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, OutKast, Soundgarden, and the White Stripes.
