The movies didn't really do justice to the scene where Treebeard gets drunk with Merry and Pippin, and then starts to rant about how Saruman used to be cool, but he changed, man; that dude sucks; actually fuck Saruman, someone should kick his ass; NO, I should kick his ass; imma go fight a wizard

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure
The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:
"The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

Jessica Fletcher would simply wear that ring that goes so well with her dress while she saved her niece from being tried for the murder of her 26 year old Texas rancher fiance who looks like he's 55
Hard mode: name a FEMALE non-LOTR character that could resist the One Ring.
I saw someone say Granny Weatherwax, but I have not read so I can’t be sure.
The only other woman I saw was Princess Leia and I’m sorry but that woman would be a dark emperor in a heartbeat & the galaxy would be well-run.

Another photo of the Mono Lake tufa, as a snow storm approached. There's no color tweaking here, no weird editing. The clouds were coming over the Eastern Sierras and tinting half the world blue.

A while back, I made a map of (mostly) surviving silent films set in or shot in all 50 states. Many more films have been made available since, so I really need to consider an update.
