tbt the time a drunk was trying to insult one of the bouncers on the high street and got the devastating response "oh look, someone who doesn't matter has said something that isn't true". I often think about this when not replying to tweets

I have conversations like this on discord and etc, but it’s a whole different dynamic on sites like reddit and twitter. Not worth my time to take people’s bait while they lord over me to tell me I’m still wrong in their eyes

That’s what I’m hoping for, but based on McPayne’s comments about shifting who the leading characters are over the course of the story, I’m led to agree with people that think we’ll get Elendil and Elrond prologues and no more Gal :(

It should be dependent on region! It’s always ended with Donald Sutherland in the UK version and with the kissing scene in the American version. I’m not sure how they decide for every other country, but I suspect the rest of Europe also gets the UK ending

I’ve been told it’s unlikely, but I don’t see how it would be to have a Celeborn s3 prologue, and I still strongly suspect we might get one. I’d be more interested in it than an Elrond prologue anyway 😅

I edited Mirdania's death from the #TheRingsOfPower to "She's an Angel" by They Might Be Giants, because some of the lyrics seemed, er...fitting.

Autistic people are amazing and their existence makes the world a better place. 🤎 My heart is with anyone who has ever been told otherwise.

Finally started watching s2 of Poker Face and I think Natasha Lyonne is doomed to have chemistry with characters that aren’t recurring

Haven’t watched s2 yet since I saw the spoilers, bix/cassian makes my skin crawl for the way it maliciously ignores rogue one’s subtext, and other reasons I can’t put my finger on. But I’ve often found tv writers incapable of writing romance when it’s the focus. God knows why this is a phenomenon

the worst part of podcasts about something you're really into is it's already too late, you can't call in or email them on the spot to tell them they're wrong

A little thread about Lothlorien in the hopes that #RingsOfPower may do something interesting with it. Here it is in one of the maps released in early TROP promotion ('Lorinand' is one of its earlier names; 'Amon Lanc' there is where Dol Guldur will later be):

Part of a map of 2nd-Age Middle-earth, showing the Misty Mountains at the centre with Lorinand marked to the right, Amon Lanc to the right of that, and the Anduin flowing past.

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst.

Every dictator in history has lied.

Donald Trump is no different.
