@MisterFoxGuy Oh my God. I thought I was the only one who did that!

OK, off to chillax. See y'all on the flip.

"LL, what do you have against the Peter Jackson LotR films?"

Aragorn not wanting to be King.

Elrond hating Men—even though he was half-human.

Gimli as fucking comic relief.

But that's as nothing as compared to the dreck which is "Rings of Power". It deserves an early death, and the estate should really have a long time of introspection.

@sfleetucker Just one.

@stueytheround

A "mass shooting" is defined as an event in which 4 or more people are shot.

Why, yes, we HAVE delineated it and categorized it.

@singlemaltgirl

@Bix "Import them"? Like, what, slaves?

@ATXJane @GreenLady08

Again. Like Black Americans, this hero had no reason to fight for this country which stole his land. But he did. The US if filled with people who were never meant to be part of its commonwealth, and yet they persisted to become so.

@Lindy She's a career prosecutor. She's dealt with Trump's like many times. @LiseL @MLClark @BrentSullivan @JoyfullyDazed

@ps9714 It's true! Every time it's been brought up, supporters' associations say "Over our dead bodies". And those fans have real power in European football leagues.

@ps9714 The Premier League keeps talking about having regular season matches in the US. That will never happen. The fans would riot.

@ps9714 Yeah, but how soon before the NFL detects a new revenue stream and schedules a game in the Peninsula?

@ps9714 We have the sum knowledge of humanity a few keyboard clicks away. If you believe misinformation, that's a choice. @Tacitus_Kilgore @tippitiwichet

@ps9714 OK, for a minute I thought the game was IN Qatar.

Lulz. If it don't apply, let it fly. But if you come into my mentions huffy, I just block.

@Tacitus_Kilgore I think we're seeing that in the proliferation of alternatives to the likes of the New York Times and other Beltway media. The media was supposed to be part of those guardrails, and it has failed spectacularly. @ps9714 @tippitiwichet

Meanwhile, over on Fox Business.

@TwiHusband Oh, he was always bad, I just had an intellectual crush on him. When I read his defense of the Pol Pot regime and downplaying the Khmer Rouge genocide, it was a clarion call for me.

@TwiHusband And Chomsky.

@ps9714 Liberal democracy, and all that entails, is my core belief. Everything else is noise.
