They don’t have the rights to the Silmarillion or they would have already.

Republican Operatives Swoop in to Help Cornel West This Election (newrepublic.com)

”This helps take away votes from Joe Biden,” the activist told one person at the rally, according to a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) by a Washington Post reporter. “We’re helping the Trump team who’s trying to get him on there,” added a woman by his side.

morphballganon,

Progressives?

Progressives aren’t the target demographic. Progressives were so horrified by Trump, they’ll vote Biden, no question.

The target demographic are people who were too dumb to know what was going on during Trump’s term.

morphballganon,

I’m ready for articles to stop using the word exhilarating in titles

morphballganon,

My first thought was the polygonal cars from Perfect Dark’s Chicago Streets level

morphballganon,

Younger than 30? No thanks. Younger than 50, yes please.

morphballganon,

I always wonder how much would have to be different for this to be averted. If the boy hadn’t been there, would it have been someone else stabbed? If the boy had been asleep, would that have been enough? What if the mom parked in a different spot?

morphballganon,

Perhaps I should have said “how little” would have to be different, not “how much.”

morphballganon,

I wonder if it was delayed road rage. “There’s the one who cut me off earlier, I’ll show them!”

morphballganon,

I’m all about fixing the root cause of systemic issues, but thinking about improving given encounters on a micro scale is an interesting thought experiment too.

morphballganon,

So glad I live in a blue state so I don’t get held to muggle standards

morphballganon,

He’s not even a politician

He’s a game show host who was informed his only chance of staying out of prison was to be elected president

But then he committed more crimes, so even having been president will no longer cut it

morphballganon,

Early humans ate a lot of things.

The ones that ate non-food things died.

The ones that ate eggs lived and passed on their genes.

morphballganon,

You would think she could afford to go for a candidate who keeps their promises

morphballganon,

Judging by his record of “alternative facts,” this means he is actually not ok with it.

But, of course, whether he’s ok with it or not is not important.

morphballganon,

Did you ever consider the possibility that anger is the appropriate response to certain situations? For example, if someone passed a law that prevented you from receiving medical care, that would warrant anger.

morphballganon,

I downvote posts if they’re idiotic.

Communities about idiotic ideologies tend to attract idiotic posts.

Texas professors want to use abortion ban to punish students for "consensual sexual intercourse" (www.salon.com)

“Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students “for being homosexual or transgender.” They also argue they should be able to penalize teaching assistants for “cross-dressing,” by which they appear to mean allowing trans women to wear skirts.”

morphballganon,

There are plenty of philosophy professors who are morons.

morphballganon,

People who know other languages tend to model their sentence structure on their native language, and swap word for word. This can lead to conjugation issues, e.g. “I am feeling” instead of “I feel.”

People who only know English often base their understanding on the way language sounds, not how it’s written.

morphballganon,

“I am feeling” means something very close to “I feel,” whereas “steel” means something completed unrelated to “still.”

morphballganon,

Cartridges actually have much faster load times than discs. Notice how the Switch has reverted back to cartridges? They’re faster.

As for the controller… It is pretty odd. Though, at the time, we didn’t have the same standard for controller design we have now. So it makes sense that Nintendo would try something bold. Then after they had committed to the design, the world decided the PS1 controller made much more sense, and that became the benchmark for future controller designs.

morphballganon,

If you would prefer the dog over the boyfriend, don’t buy a house together.

morphballganon,

Mind Control, like Killgrave’s in Jessica Jones

That’s #1 for me.

#2 is the Infinity Gauntlet.
