what do you call it when the president steals an unfathomable amount of wealth from the treasury and then declares it illegal to investigate him

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

History is the only education; everything else is just training.

Because these anti-LGBT Fascist bigots running our country right now are abysmally evil.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social in Montgomery: “We’re here united to take on this new confederacy, 60 years after the Selma March… because we know their intent is to dismantle everything gained during the civil rights movement.”

#OnThisDay in 1958, #Tolkien writes to Rayner Unwin. Writing to Rayner, Tolkien says that his face is healing, and he is feeling better, and able to read and write again. He has not been able to complete the Zimmerman matter yet but will return the material in the coming days. He says (1/2)

#OnThisDay in 1944, #Tolkien writes to Christopher Tolkien. Tolkien writes of his longing and concern for Christopher in the midst of war, reflecting on human suffering and the senselessness of conflict. Despite the pervasive evil and misery, Tolkien finds solace in the hope of reunion (1/2)

a reminder that a lot of the things people find unpleasant about cities - along with the noise and dirtiness - are largely a product of filling them with cars. get rid of the cars and the pleasantness of the environment improves dramatically

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

Hey Andy Serkis — you definitely need Sam Neill in your “Hunt for Gollum” film and now is the time!!! There are many possible roles he could play in Middle-earth.

Anyone suggesting we should stop accurately pointing out factual ways that the president is wrecking this country on a daily basis, or expressing an opinion about that, because of something a random nut does is espousing a profoundly un-American concept that I completely reject.

A President with his lowest approval ratings ever attends an annual high profile dinner he has boycotted for years where an assassination attempt happens. He is prepared to deliver press comments 30 minutes after the shooting where he speaks of uniting the country. Hmmmm....

this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

Drumpf in a Shakespearean nutshell.

A new movie is coming out

Peace, but only during trading hours

LEE PACE RETURNS! ✨

#OnThisDay in 1956, #Tolkien writes to M. Wilson. Tolkien responded to Mrs. Wilson stating that The Lord of the Rings should really be read by adults, as it was not a work aimed at children.

I’m reading War and Peace, and you know, probably a lot more people would read it if they knew just how extremely cunty the dialogue is

Shame and eternal shame, nothing but shame!

Brown University is home to George Orwell's original manuscript of 1984. Most of it is marked up heavily in Orwell's hand-writing but this untouched page caught my eye.

in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing

San Diego just gave us the best reveal of No Kings Day. #NoKings

Holy New York.

SoCaliquendi members will be hosting a Tolkien meetup at #Wondercon tomorrow! Hope to see you there!

#OnThisDay in 1944, #Tolkien writes to Christopher Tolkien. Tolkien says they have received many letters from Christopher, he will feel much better when he knows that he has received theirs. Tolkien notes that he has been very busy with work, but the weather has been very good, remarking (1/3)

So about tomorrow....

David Correa spitting out completely WRONG info on #NBCNewsDaily saying the newly-announced Stephen Colbert LOTR movie is set to be released in late 2027?! No no no; it’s the Andy Serkis directed “The Hunt for Gollum” that is coming out at the end of 2027, the Colbert movie has no release date yet.

Another edition of the Roving Ranger has just been sent to its subscribers. Including: OTC vs. CTC; Leadership in Middle-earth; TRD coming up; Magnificent Merry; Tree of Light; a book launch; Nazgul at the Olympics; hobbit hotel scam; and many more... steady.page/en/thetolkie...

Hayao Miyazaki's ‘KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE’ will be released in IMAX theaters for the first time ever on March 13.

I’m very comfortable and cozy on the D-list, being known mostly by children and bisexual librarians, but every now and then I think it would be fun to be famous just for one or two reasons, and this is never more true than when I remember The Muppet Show

The new Deluxe editions from @harpercollins.bsky.social The Letters of J.R.R. #Tolkien and J.R.R. #Tolkien A Biography edited by Christopher Tolkien and Humphrey Carpenter.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA
