Return of the King is pure cinema. Peter Jackson gets a lifetime pass from me, I remember seeing this shit in theater when it first came out and every movie was better than the last and I have no idea how he did it. I still get pumped every time I watch the trilogy.

This
One of my favorite parts of the Hunger Games was how, in the beginning, Katniss was jealous amd resentful of the townies for not having to work in the coal mines. Then, over time, she realizes they aren't the true enemy. Then she sees the other district kids as so much better off than she is, because at least they don't come from district 12. But then she realizes they aren't the enemy either. And then she hates the other victors, before realizing they have all been exploited just as much as she has. So the enemy must be the Capitol citizens, who benefit from the exploitation of the districts, right? Wrong again. They are just uninformed and pampered people who have been kept in the dark about the true horrors faced by the rest of the country. Most of them, when push comes to shove, are perfectly willing to help the war efforts. And slowly, over the three books, all theses separate factions of downtrodden people start to see each other as allies instead of enemies, and that is what propells them to eventual victory over the true enemy, the government that tried to pit them against each other. Just fun, totally fictional things to think about that have nothing whatsoever to do with our current life.

A visual representation of GOP and Democrat budgets.

Each cup = $50 billion, and each color represents something different. A way to see how the federal government is spending and who it benefits.

Now, which budget/policy benefits ALL Americans?

I can’t think of any reason to completely wreck the ag markets in entire United States other than purposeful sabotage.

A fire sale on farmland.

This day 88 years ago, professor Tolkien published 'The Hobbit'. It has since sold over 100 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling books of all time 📚

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.
