Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

It’s common and sort of understandable to see Miller as this evil genius. Important to remember he’s actually a complete fucking moron who, when he got a chance, immediately engineered a PR disaster that shitcanned Trump’s best-polling issue. Always the way with these types.

A thing I learned about Legolas is that he’s 2000 years old when Lord of the Rings starts which makes him seem pretty stupid all things considered. Like he learned how a bow and arrow works and that was about it for 1800 years.
