AR-PHARAZÔN THE GOLDEN: What you have to remember also is he appeared in fair form.
CHOTINER: The next time the invasion of Valinor and the destruction of Númenor come up, I'll keep in mind that Sauron was handsome when it happened.
AR-PHARAZÔN: He was. Not that that excuses it.
CHOTINER: Right.

Immortality is a child's answer to death anxiety, not a real thing with which humanity will ever have to contend. No king's alchemist ever granted him eternal life, and it isn't going to start happening now just because of Computer.

Sam watching helplessly as Frodo starts to identify with Gollum, a weird, transparently insane bald freak in a diaper who eats live birds and mutters about murdering Sam and Frodo all the time, was a mood without a strong modern parallel until people started falling for AI.

There is very little of this from those of you who read us. Again, we don't put up with it. I am too old. There is a fight to be had, but I've seen more won back from greater opponents. People also used to understand that history seems to stand still then it moves all at once. You have to work -
The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

See today how many times you can mentally append "So give up, peon" to the end of the headline or story. If it works, ignore that story, which is not reporting but propaganda designed to make you as broken and afraid as our self-appointed masters
There’s only one reason it would be “important to remember” that presidential power has expanded (in an era of increased congressional dysfunction) and that is to view Trump’s actions as normal.

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.
While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

Seems like Uber may be cooperating with ICE?
🧵 This scene from Bridgeview was just captured on TikTok from multiple angles—
An Uber driver picked up a passenger & was immediately surrounded by ICE SRT agents. She says they almost rammed her off the road.
One of them approaches with a shield. They point weapons at her and grab her passenger.
