Once you realize Tolkien wants every heroic person or place name to be cretic (long-short-long syllable), you start seeing Tolkien names everywhere. Labrador. Pinkypie. Scoobydoo. Macklemore.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

Everyone, whether they say it out loud or keep it to themselves, thinks they alone would not succumb to the One Ring. This is because people are lunatics. It would corrupt every single person.

The fact that everyone *including news media* is always talking about the news in terms of political strategy, palace intrigue, and their own posturing, leads to a culture of treating every issue politics touches as just another pro sport

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too:
"There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done."
All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

Nothing says "I'm against groupthink" more than a series of cliches and platitudes to launch a show that a thousand other people are already doing.
New: Liz Truss will tomorrow premiere the first episode of The Liz Truss Show.
Billed as "A bold new programme in a media landscape dominated by groupthink and timid consensus".
Truss: "The Deep State tried to destroy me but now I'm back and excited to launch this show."
