I’m a huge fucking Tolkien nerd and generally receptive to new adaptations but I don’t really think this part of the story needs fleshing out even if they have the Gandalf taking out Dol Guldur storyline in there too. Give us Beren and Luthién ffs

Not sure if this counts as a pet peeve but I can’t stand it when people want me to watch YouTube videos with them. Send me the link I’ll watch it later, don’t use up my socialising time for that shit

Critical support for Comrade Mishap

Sorry to hear things are rough comrade. I saw you spoke about depression, but it could also be worth looking into if you have any underlying conditions like attention or sleep issues. Your description of college life sounds a lot like mine was and if I had known about ADHD back then I feel like my life trajectory would be very different. Not that I think everyone has it or anything! But always worth looking to see if there might be something deeper causing depressive symptoms. Hope things improve soon!

THE ALGORITHM MUST NOT BE QUESTIONED

I once had an Uber driver in the UK who asked “oh you’re Chinese, what do you think of Falun Gong” and then when I told him they were a dangerous CIA funded cult he said “I just joined last week” scared

Literal whitewashing. Don’t see that often

I left the Labour Party and the country long ago but fuck Starmer. Fuck the NEC. Fuck the Blairite ghouls. Absolute parasites

The existence of limited incursion implies the existence of standard, modern, and legacy incursions

When I was a kid I used to think “why would anyone come up with the idea of economic sanctions, they obviously don’t hurt the people you’re intending to hurt”. But after learning about imperialism it all makes so much sense

Well said. The imperialists have gone a good job of insulating themselves from the harshest effects of climate crisis so far but that can’t last forever.

This is about where I am but it feels so tragic to think this way
