Today is January 6, the anniversary of the felon/GOP’s violent insurrection trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election! We remember 140 officers who were injured & those who lost their lives due to the attack on the Capitol! Hold all involved in the insurrection accountable!

I think LORD OF THE RINGS being a story in which, canonically, it is entirely possible for evil to triumph in the temporal world, and in fact more likely than not that it will, but also that reality should not change the meaning of your moral values, is an underrated part of what makes it so good.
