Here to talk about all things Tolkien, media literacy, comedy, and the weirdly high number of movie remakes from the mid to late 90s that outshine the originals. Anti-racist, feminist, pro-queer joy (So, anti-Trump, obviously) He/they

Rift Widens Between Elon Musk, Anyone Who Ever Met Him AUSTIN, TXβ€”Stressing that the billionaire’s completely erratic behavior had strained the already fraught relationships, sources confirmed Thursday that a rift was widening between Elon Musk and anyone who had ever met him. β€œElon’s megalomania and tendency to lash out indiscriminately seem to have soured things with every person he’s encountered in his entire life,” said […]

I turn 40 today, so naturally I woke up with an aching back. That feels a little on the nose.

TJ is a friggin’ delight and it’s always a wonderful time to drink a little bit too much and talk Tolkien with them!
And Jen is always a joy and the best co-guest you could ask for!

I swear to God, Septuagenarians constantly trying to replicate the success of the 1992 election is gonna be the thing that prevents any sort of organized defense of the American institution.

I don’t care how many seats it wins. It won’t work.
The Republic is in danger. This sort of vichyism will damn us all. We protect everyone or no one is safe.

Democrats in Trump-won districts call on party to rebrand Democrats need to flip three seats to take back the House next year – and the path to a majority likely runs through districts President Trump carried. Democrats who won alongside Trump offer their pr...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If this coalition isn’t fighting for the least of these, if it’s not anti-racist, pro-LGBTQ+ rights, pro-immigrant, I want nothing to do with it,

Shoutout to the old school Chicagoan who came into my work yesterday ranting about how much he hates the Kardashians. He started the rant misgendering and deadnaming Caitlyn Jenner, then - without skipping a beat - corrected himself and continued going off about how much he hates her. #Thisistheway

as far as i'm concerned the entire purpose of the american experiment is to provide chuck schumer with a job that's not too challenging, yet rewarding and fun. and i hate to put it to you like this, but every criticism you post, and every phone call you make to his office, gets in the way of that

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. β€œWhat can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

No one else has the intimate knowledge of which of our principles are best to sell out in order to win in late 20th century American politics!
I mean if it worked twice 30 years ago, why change course now? Our time is coming back around! Just gotta find the right moderate octogenarian white man!

Carville: Democrats need to 'play possum,' stop the 'stupid' protests β€œPeople don’t like the Democratic Party,” Democratic consultant James Carville told a crowd at UVa. "A political party is supposed to win an election."

I know James Carville is a crank who has been consistently completely wrong about Trump for ten years, but he was instrumental in winning the 1992 election, so Democrats should probably just keep blindly following his advice for at least the next couple generations. dailyprogress.com/news/local/g...

Wild to see someone wearing ashes signifying humility and repentance when he's the #4 guy in a Mammon-worshiping death cult.

I’m probably being too uptight and angry about the wrong things, but after the Democrats’ β€œwear pink and bring your sassiest table tennis paddle” during the SOTU, I’ve just had it.

Exclusive: Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who fled to US, sources say U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

I know everybody’s just doing their best here and we’re all just trying to survive, but if I hear one more person make the joke β€œCanada could do the funniest thing lol” I’m gonna lose it!
