I have absolutely no recollection of noticing this detail before, but this passage was highlighted in a podcast I was listening to today, and I'm thinking that, as meh as I am on the projects, the Rings of Power or Hunt for Gollum creative teams have the chance to do the funniest thing.

How many history phd dissertations will be written trying to explain this post?
Marx remarks somewhere that historical events appear, as it were, twice: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.
He forgot to add that beneath the farce also can lurk tragedy.

I'd forgotten that one of the few things Tolkien hated more than the automobile was the airplane.
SHELVED BY GENRE awakens far below the Misty Mountains, and with riddles and talking eagles and exploding pine cones, the hosts continue their discussion of THE HOBBIT! Also, we learn so much about what Tolkien thought of airplanes. rangedtouch.com/2026/01/16/t...

Also, we don't get out of fascism by giving into the demands imposed by fascism for restricted freedom of movement. The US does not and should not have an internal passport system and it is on LEOs to show probably cause, not on you to prove who you are or your status.
I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

When a post reaches a certain threshold of replies, then hitting the reply button should force the would-be respondent to scroll through all the replies and then check a box confirming they are not making the same comment/correction/joke as others have already made.
TIL: If you say something wrong on Bluesky and people start responding to correct you, there is no number of times you can say “You’re right, I said that badly and the way it came out isn’t true” that will stop the tide of additional corrections. Delete the post and move on.

To think I let the belgianwhistles dot com domain go last year.
Heard a lad earlier talking about ‘Belgian whistles’
“A basic website costs 10k or 25k upwards if you want all the Belgian whistles”

QR codes for ICE is hilarious, like they’re a restaurant menu that shoots people in the face.

"A dog is in the process of tearing off your leg, so I'm proposing a law to require the dog to have a collar with a name tag."
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.
ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

I always think I've seen all the questions in the database, but clearly I've missed some.
Also, I really feel like the response category label to from "swinging" to "swinger" really changes the tone from Frank Sinatra to The Ice Storm
