In the books Boromir insists on blowing his horn when the fellowship leaves Rivendell. “I will not go forth as a thief”
Theoden sounds Rohan’s arrive with a horn. Rohan isn’t there for an ambush. Not like thieves. Not cheats. Not afraid. For Theoden doesn’t fear even death. Death is his battle cry

deep fakes of alpha podcast bros with melodramatic audio, spouting positive morality tales from classic books

V/o: Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

All Will Ferrell movies have unassailable comedic premises, hilarious first and second acts, but then struggle to find a conclusion and have forgettable absurd 3rd acts.

General Vandergrift. The biggest road on MCB Pendleton is named after him.
Led 1st Mar Div on Guadalcanal, for which he received the Medal of Honor. Made commandant in 1944. First Marine to attain a fourth star.
Saved the Marine Corps after the war with his “Bended Knee” speech to Congress.

Why does being a Marine matter? Why are we all so crazy about it?
Listen my children, and you shall hear, a tale from the bad days of Afghan relocation, and how being a silly Marine changed lives.

If Senate Dems get off on this, you know, they could just stay home and repeatedly smash their own dicks with hammers.

You can’t win elections by losing negotiations.
On Tuesday voters showed the fuck up in an off year, after a brutal year fighting prevent the worst abuses of power.
And Dems in Congress take that gift, that sacrifice, and are poised to secure zero policy wins based on it.
Feckless losers.

Ive worked on some campaigns, and fought in a war. Neither makes me an expert. I’m not.
But both experiences inform my opinion that what voters really want, above all else, is someone who they trust to fight for their interest, and not sell out their position, when the doors are closed.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Did you know: The Dept. of Defense has awarded billions of dollars to gun makers that sell virtual copies of their military weapons to civilians? These companies are exploiting military experience to sell some of the same guns that have been used in our nation’s deadliest mass shootings.

Before you say it, Judge Wolf took Senior Status in 2013 and President Obama appointed his replacement in 2014.
His action does not create a new opening that President Trump can fill.
What he is giving up is a shit ton of money. Which is noble as hell.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
