Political correctness doesn't exist. I say the quiet things out loud. I have my own opinions & you don't have to agree with me to discuss. Everything is nuanced & has context. Being offended is YOUR problem. You've been warned. 🤣🤣🤣

Now that my thumb is pretty healed up, I can ride my new (to me) bike!!! Been so excited to get back to my workout routine! Driving me batshit crazy! I feel so lazy and it's only been 2 weeks!

My paper uncovering #Tolkien’s 1939 lecture On Fairy-stories, previously thought lost, is now the Journal of Inklings Studies' most read online article ever. Such vital findings about chronology will underpin my Oxford DPhil on #LotR in its time. steady.page/en/john-gart...

I have said this for years... No one can apply chemicals, daily, for years, and not expect side effects...

JUST IN: A 2nd Circuit judge has denied President Trump's effort to immediately block the $5 million disbursement to E. Jean Carroll.

I just said this same thing, to a friend. Plus, all your photos & selfies will mean nothing. It's the MEMORIES you share with people that mean more. Put down you phone/camera & LIVE that moment!

Pacifism in anime is often a hyper-realistic depiction of the evils of war, a far cry from idealized ones common in the U.S. This may stem from Japan's defeat in World War II: shows idealizing the military can read as more right-wing to a Japanese viewer than an American one.

The fight goes on!

Kid: What was the 90’s like. Me: I bought a 1990 Ford Escort for $500. None of my friends had a car, so they tricked out mine with subs, amps, shag carpeting…I had a 10 disc CD cartridge thingy under my driver seat. We just drove places. We were never home. Kid: I didn’t understand 1/2 of that.

Omg...

The Founders didn't risk the gallows because they hated America. They risked everything because they loved it enough to confront tyranny. Patriotism isn't pretending everything is fine. It's defending the republic when it isn't. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

So Republicans are calling Democrats "extreme" for...wanting cheaper healthcare, free food for kids, a living wage, benefits, increased Medicare coverage, clean water & energy, environmental protection, etc... Then I'm fucking EXTREME! What idiot doesn't want these things?

The audacity...! The news telling listeners to use less electricity during the hottest parts of the day, to avoid brown & blackouts. Meanwhile, data centers are eating power from the grid, like Pac-Man...for free.
