If you need to explain to an idiot why Tolkien would have despised these goons, I have already grabbed a picture of the relevant passage (and I doubt I was the first):

I ❤️ immigrants
My parents and brothers are immigrants, and I’m a birthright citizen.
I’d rather not live near any bigots.

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go!
Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest.

Once more, Commerce is a successful company developing a product, and well-paid workers building the product, for happy customers who want to buy it and enjoy it.
Capitalism is tax-dodging corporations exploiting poverty-wage earning workers to make products struggling people can barely afford.

LLM AI can be intuitive, but like human intuition it can be wrong. Like I ask folks who intuit and feel truth, how would you know you're wrong?

Is the cruelty of denying due process related to christianity being ok with infinite punishment for finite crimes or even preceived crimes?

Memories of staying up too late on Sunday nights recording Dr. Demento, speaker to microphone before I learned better.
October 11, 2025 is a milestone in comedy history. Not only is it the 50th anniversary of the 1st SNL, today is also the final new Dr. Demento show. After 55 years, Barret Hansen is hanging up his top hat. Please go to drdemento.com to hear his all time demented top 40 countdown special.
