So many movies taking advantage of the connection between Odin and Santa Claus to turn him into a warrior god...
What I want is drawing from Saint Nicholas, the Patron Saint of Thieves. SANTA HEIST MOVIE!
St. Nick is also Patron Saint of Sailors. What do you call a Thief Sailor? SANTA IS A PIRATE!

Everyone knows about Sir Terry Pratchett, but I didn't think we give Tolkien enough credit for knowing what's up and being pissed about it.

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

Then back a younger candidate and mentor them, take an advisory position. Have politicians forgotten what mentorship is? Get the next generation prepared instead of clinging to power until the day you die.
Meiselas: What do you say to people who say while Governor Mills has been a great governor, she’s 77 years old, and we need younger leadership?
Mills: It’s a fair point… But I don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t do everything I can to reverse what’s going on in Washington

So been going to the gym for a few weeks. I am genuinely enjoying myself. I think going late at night is the trick for me, it's quiet and almost no people.

The only reason I'd want a big house is to have an enormous art studio. I already turned the largest room in my apartment into one. But really a normal sized house would be enough. I just want space to make art and enough money to pay for all my supplies
I don't need expensive cars or a big house.
I need experiences and time with my loved ones. That, to me, is a mark of living well.

This is why the Black Panthers' social programs had the motto "survival pending revolution." Because if you don't build up an alternative way to keep people in the most precarious situations alive and thriving, then who is your revolution for?
People are getting up in their feels about me pointing out that disabled people depend on the systems we have and a revolution that doesn't insert plans FOR them aren't adequate..
It's wild, and telling, that anyone assumes I'm assigning that to a single party. Stop telling on yourselves.

It's a myth that banning a book increases that book's readership. For most books, banning has the chilling effect the censors want. Your favorite banned books need to you be loud for them!
Banned Books Week starts on Sunday, October 5—there are a ton of ways to support!
Find ways to get involved here: www.ala.org/bbooks/banne...
(If you're overwhelmed, even just checking out, buying, or elevating a banned book is helpful! Talking about them w/ the ppl in your life is an action!)

This is called the tails to teeth ratio, and I think in the US armed forces it's like 9:1. Most military theorists believe that a higher ratio is actually better, because the more support troops you have per soldier, the more effective that soldier is!
Pete Hegseth is not a military theorist.

I don't remember the stats anymore, but saw a write-up back during Trump I that said something like ~85% of active duty military are non-combat roles
