Here to talk about all things Tolkien, media literacy, comedy, and the weirdly high number of movie remakes from the mid to late 90s that outshine the originals.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If this coalition isn’t fighting for the least of these, if it’s not anti-racist, pro-LGBTQ+ rights, pro-immigrant, I want nothing to do with it,

Democrats in Trump-won districts call on party to rebrand
Democrats need to flip three seats to take back the House next year – and the path to a majority likely runs through districts President Trump carried. Democrats who won alongside Trump offer their pr...

Shoutout to the old school Chicagoan who came into my work yesterday ranting about how much he hates the Kardashians. He started the rant misgendering and deadnaming Caitlyn Jenner, then - without skipping a beat - corrected himself and continued going off about how much he hates her. #Thisistheway

as far as i'm concerned the entire purpose of the american experiment is to provide chuck schumer with a job that's not too challenging, yet rewarding and fun. and i hate to put it to you like this, but every criticism you post, and every phone call you make to his office, gets in the way of that

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I know James Carville is a crank who has been consistently completely wrong about Trump for ten years, but he was instrumental in winning the 1992 election, so Democrats should probably just keep blindly following his advice for at least the next couple generations. dailyprogress.com/news/local/g...
Carville: Democrats need to 'play possum,' stop the 'stupid' protests
“People don’t like the Democratic Party,” Democratic consultant James Carville told a crowd at UVa. "A political party is supposed to win an election."

So tired of Democrats choosing “dignity” over duty. You don’t look dignified folding a fitted sheet while the house burns down.

Jeffries sends a letter to Democrats saying "The decision to attend the Joint Session is a personal one and we understand that members will come to different conclusions. However, it is important to have a strong, determined and dignified Democratic presence in the chamber."

Remembering the millions who die every year due to political decisions, hatred and discrimination. Never forgotten.

This is why James Carville's plan for Dems to just play dead until Trump/Musk's actions break the system won't work. Republicans are *trying* to break the system. Dems are still thinking about how to win an election in four years. Republicans are fighting a Civil War, and they're fighting unopposed.
They are destroying your country so they can build their own.

I’ve been thinking about some Dry the River lyrics that feel timely:
“When the ice caps melt and the Devil’s in the Bible Belt, don’t cower in your bed.”
“If it’s dark outside, you light the fire yourself.”
Take rest. But as #Tolkien said, “Day shall come again!”
Until then, we light our own fires.

Wild how the creators of the #Hobbit cartoon from the 70s tone down or don’t show most of the violence (ponies are much safer in this adaptation) only to increase the number of dwarves that die in the Battle of Five Armies from three to seven.
