They were so benighted with making money that they turned the least consequential book of all the Tolkien tales into THREE BAD MOVIES.
A slim children's book was bloated to THREE MOVIES! ALL BAD.

Have you ever written a line like “itinerant sons of benighted scum” in a pop song? No? That’s right, an artist is speaking. Shut up and listen!

NC state Senator Michael Garrett made a magnificent speech about the election-rigging that is gerrymandering right after the last No Kings Day in October. Naturally, our benighted NC legislators refused to include it in the legislative record. Free speech and all...

Remind me of the reasons his supporters still support him. I know most of them are benighted Evangelicals, but even they should be bright enough to see the hypocrisy.

So they took Viola back and asked me to wait in the lobby but I don’t know how this works now, is the doctor going to come talk to me or do I just go home? I know I just need to ask the people at the desk but I’m so overwhelmed.
How am I supposed to be able to drive home from this benighted land.

My favorite moment on SURVIVOR tonight, and this really spoils nothing, is that Rizo uses "Mother of Pearl!" as an interjection at one point, and to me that's up there with "Heavens to Murgatroyd!" as a valuable phrase worth resurrecting in our benighted era.

Reminder for Brits writing about the BBC: the licence fee, licensing. C for the noun, S for the verb. Ignore the poor benighted Americans who do that the other way round.

Honestly, this 🧵. I may be shouty and critical about a lot, but in my life, every day, I'm reminded and reassured by the kindness and warmth of most British people. Even in my benighted county.
I shout because I will fight those who want to make this not the place that welcomed me 20 yrs ago. 💖

Personal note: London has been home for a very, very long time, but as of today, I am also officially a Brit - that is to say, a British citizen. I feel relieved and I feel grateful - but not, perhaps, in the forelock-tugging way GB News/Starmer expect a new immigrant to be.

In her warped tiny mind, she is a "warrior" for "God's will." Sadly, she is seen as such by far too many deranged and hateful, hate-filled, people in this benighted and failing country.

It's a matter of millennial self-identity that they're the most economically benighted generation in history.
Like the belief that they've experienced more recessionary events than anyone else. It's not true, but if it was, older generations were there, too.
Absolutely maddening.

...and the welfare that was slashed in the Clinton admin was enacted by FDR. Positive changes like the New Deal or Johnson's War on Poverty can indeed happen even in this benighted system and we should make them happen if we can. Its not all or nothing.
