STOP IMMANENTIZING THE ESCHATON

Well this is just fucking great

Gimli sees white garments peak out from beneath the old man’s grey rags, and moves to attack—but Legolas cries aloud: ‘Mithrandir!’

‘Gandalf!’ says Aragorn. ‘Beyond all hope you return to us in our need!’

The old man pauses. ‘Gandalf. Yes, that was the name. I was Gandalf.’

Oh, Death, why canst thou not sometimes be timely?

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

I really do feel for Iranians, coming from a region that is harmed by both the "anti imperialist left" and the right. The former teams up with our genocidal governments as long as they say they're against the US, the latter wants us bombed into oblivion and prevented from immigrating.

This horse's ass pretend cowboy

There was that Epstein text exchange with Bannon where he said "Trump doesn't respect anyone who agrees to his demands" and never has that been more apparent than every newspaper/university/law firm getting their shit double-owned by the guy they bent over for in the first place.

In fairness Matt is basically the worst person I know.

At least he knows what he is, and has provided a label so others know.

Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course? The human subconscious is such an interesting thing. No matter how much you think you’ve got it figured out, it’ll always spit out the most random stuff. Take me, for example. After coming home from a...

Axios is bad and untrustworthy!

Thank you for sharing this, and I'm just really really glad that you and your family can celebrate this anniversary.

A man in a black coat is halfway in frame. Behind him is a brown brick house and at the top right corner of the frame, most of a flag that reads “Donate Life / Donation Saves Lives” is visible.

It’s the 7th anniversary of Miss No User-Serviceable Parts Inside’s transplant, which I mark by reminding people to opt in to be an organ donor. Lucy’s was a pediatric donor, and the depth of our gratitude and sympathy is inexpressible.

Sign up *and* inform your loved ones of your intention.

There might not be a single person alive less qualified than Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense right now.
