Warner Bros. has said The Hunt for Gollum is in fact the first of two new Lord of the Rings feature films from Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens based on J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, as the company aims to make more of the franchise. With The Hunt for Gollum, we’ll get to see what Gollum was up to in the years between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

Can't stress this enough: nobody fucking cares what he was up to

Congratulations, Needhi!

“Hey quick follow up for the History Respecter — what aspect of the Confederacy are you *most* proud of?

The treason against the United States? The defense of slavery? All the losing? I bet it’s the losing.”

Happening now: protesters in Chicago are interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel, where U.S. Customs and Border protection is recruiting today.

Banner reads, "stop kidnapping our neighbors!"

Yet another helpful explainer to counter the ignorant disinformation spouted by the unqualified extremist who is currently destroying the HHS

This is notable because McDonalds’ breakfast daypart has long been seen as a proxy for employment. You’re more likely to visit if you have somewhere to go in the morning.

$MCD

Only some grants, depending on where you are, or when the renewal date is/was. And yeah, telling people you don’t know how long it will last is really shit.

Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

An absolutely pathetic statement from a person who had a chance to stop this and supposedly cares about health care policy.

JPMORGAN: “.. the [One Big Beautiful Bill Act] will increase the total deficit from 6.4% of GDP to 6.8% while providing no fiscal stimulus nor labor market boost. Essentially, the bill fails to offset the growth headwinds created by tariffs ..

To trump administration personnel who are afraid to step outside in dc, I agree that it must suck to be targeted randomly in the street by a violent gang of out of control thugs who want to take things from you and your family for no good reason, and don’t respect the basics of the rule of law

It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website. We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.

really hard to overstate the psychic wound losing to obama did to conservatives like hassett. they really thought romney was a lock

Cancelled precisely because it saved millions of lives. Republicans lead a propaganda campaign against it because they didn't want Biden and the Dems to reap political gains from what they assumed would be an otherwise robust economic recovery from Covid.

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

kennedy is going to kill a lot of people

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

“we reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and completely ignored it all because we are fuckin dumbasses who want millions of people to die”

This is it. Freeze it in amber. Hang it in a museum. The ultimate expression of the NYT and the elite class behind it.

The utter moral failure of ceding power to Trump? Acceptable ... if it is done in a clever, savvy way!
