You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Hello. I would like to celebrate the lost art of the compilation album as an eye and ear opening path into pleasures previously unknown. It might be a sampler, it might be a mix album but it's a person's singular vision of a particular genre or theme. Thread below of some favourites

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

Everyone needs to listen to Gustav Holst's "The Planets", not for hoity-toity nerd reasons, but because every epic sci-fi movie OST for the past century has been directly lifting shit from this one specific collection of pieces, and you deserve to hear your favourite motif in its native environment.

Good morning from your 4:30am Lakie alarm! 🐾 It’s 9°F, the house is making creepy cold noises, so I stole some socks and barked at EVERYTHING. Then I went back to sleep, like a responsible citizen, leaving Mom wide awake. ❄️🧦💤 Anyone else start chaos before sunrise? #dogsofbluesky #dogsofbsky

I love what happens when you put funny people in serious situations and make them improvise. I think a group of clever players thrown into the middle of a dead-serious modern-day American crime caper could really make something special.
I know I got a lot of TTRPG friends in here. Anybody know of a Powered By The Apocalypse system that's based on modern-day crime / thriller stories largely without fantastic elements? Think Elmore Leonard, Cormac McCarthy, THE LOWDOWN, JOHN WICK, OZARK, SNATCH, LOCK STOCK & 2 SMOKING BARRELS, etc

if you're defending "boundary pushing" art by saying "this is art, not pornography" you're just throwing another kind of art under the bus for your chosen form of art. porn can be art. tittilating, erotic, arousing art is still art, and sexuality isn't something that magically makes art NOT art.
