It's fun to post here but it's also sort of the website for people who still call Trump a cheeto unironically
Imagine being an Olympic ski jumper and the Olympics officials are like sir, please stop trying to cheat. We know your dick is smaller than this.

I've said this before re: liturgy but it's incredible how thoroughly and permanently the reformers messed things up by not simply translating the old mass into English, ideally incorporating the 1662 BCP. A very simple task that turned into an insane nightmare for no reason.

That's cool. I made an even more grim discovery in an even more idyllic corner of an English field but I just kind of played it cool and kept it on the DL. Just how I roll

In an idyllic corner of an English field, beneath the lush green grass and yellow buttercups sprouting in the sunshine, archaeologists made a grim discovery. https://cnn.it/4km1T83

Remember when every other post was like a picture of a cowboy that said "Well pardner...it seems that the contradictions of late capitalism have created a mental burden that makes the accomplishment of daily tasks almost impossible, which the capitalist elite then call 'laziness'...hoss"

NEW: Elon Musk has insisted that Jeffrey Epstein invited him to the notorious island and he declined. But new emails show the opposite -- Musk was practically begging to party with Epstein in the Caribbean, years after Epstein's sex convictions were public knowledge

This reading is also reminding me of how absurd the insistence of Tolkien and many of his acolytes is that LOTR was not inspired by the Ring Cycle. If you're familiar with the operas the books come across as practically a variation on Wagnerian themes
Rereading LOTR for the first time since I was a kid report: Tolkien gets a lot better control of his prose in The Two Towers than he had in Fellowship, where quasi-biblical diction is constantly coming into discordant contact with twee Merrie England stuff and bad poetry

A student in a masterclass today very confidently asserted that Alan Menken wrote "Part of Your World" "about the experience of being queer." Alan Menken is straight and has been married to a woman for over fifty years

Just reread Fellowship with the oldest and it‘s funny that they make a big deal over the broken sword that belonged to an ancient king and must be reforged and wielded anew, and then the elves just go ahead and reforge it. Like oh OK. I guess that was actually pretty easy then.
