LOTR might genuinely be one of the greatest things humans have ever put on a screen and I’m not even exaggerating. You can watch it as a kid and think it’s about hobbits and swords and this terrifying ring. Then you watch it as an adult and realize it’s basically about everything that actually matters.

Power corrupts people and evil usually starts really small..Good people can be tempted and courage isn’t about being fearless. Friendship can literally carry you when you can’t carry yourself anymore. The smallest person in the room can change the course of history. You do the right thing not because you know you’re going to win, but because it’s the right thing to do.

Honestly… I think it should be mandatory viewing for kids at some point. Not just “watch the movie” but actually dissect it. Why does Boromir fail? Why can Sam resist what other people can’t? Why does Frodo show Gollum mercy? Why is Aragorn a good leader when he spends half the story reluctant to have power? What happens when someone becomes consumed by resentment, fear, or the desire to control other people? Then make kids apply those questions to their own lives. Friendship, temptation, loyalty, courage, responsibility, choosing who you want to be when nobody is forcing you to choose correctly. There are probably more useful lessons about becoming a decent human being buried in those movies than in half the stuff we make kids memorize in school…and those are learnings and lessons that would stick and could carry you through all of life.

My favorite part is that the heroes aren’t these invincible characters either. They’re tired, scared, tempted, and completely outmatched. Half the time they have no idea what they’re doing but they just keep going….

Then somehow Peter Jackson took ALL of THAT and made three epic movies at the same time, filled them with real sets, real landscapes, thousands of extras, incredible music,… and made something that still looks better than movies being made with $200M budgets 25 years later.

I really don’t think we’ll ever get another thing like it.

I’ve been deposed more times than I can count.

This week they’re trying to shut my newsroom down, calling our undercover reporting “stalking.”

In response, our defensive strategy is offense: we’re going to find out who’s really behind this and who is funding these coordinated legal attack against @okeefemedia and me personally.

As you can see from all my past deposition footage, I do not bow down and I take no prisoners.

I believe in Jesus Christ. Not because my parents told me to. Not because my church told me to. But because I experienced His presence and workings in my life, and how awesome He is.

The answer is Jesus.

This is one of my favorite bits, where they just straight up tell you they want to pay unlivable wages to brown people to pick their crops or clean their toilets but somehow you’re the racist for wanting to stop it

Amen!

This was one of the most raw moments from the entire conversation... and it stayed with me.

You heard me right. I hope @PhilipAMitchell's prayer never gets answered.

[Jelly 果冻糕 @jellyjellycake]

how can you not believe in God when octopuses DREAM and otters have a favorite rock they carry around in a little SKIN POCKET and cows have BEST FRIENDS and bees are out there communicating the coordinates of flowers through INTERPRETIVE DANCE and they have REGIONAL DIALECTS??

cats are PURRING at frequencies associated with bone healing??? forests get absolutely incinerated and respond by growing FLOWERS??? dolphins literally invent NAMES for themselves and yell them across the ocean??? penguins are waddling around Antarctica looking for the PERFECT LITTLE ROCK to give their beloved???

CROWS REMEMBER YOUR FACE. THEY TELL OTHER CROWS ABOUT YOU. THEY TELL THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT YOU. YOU CAN HAVE GENERATIONAL BEEF WITH A BIRD.

goats have ACCENTS. rats GIGGLE when you tickle them. elephants mourn their dead. whales make SONGS and then OTHER WHALES LEARN THE SONG and suddenly everybody across the ocean is singing the new hit single.

monarch butterflies are born knowing how to fly thousands of miles to a place THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN. sea turtles hatch out of an egg, immediately sprint toward an OCEAN they have never seen, disappear into it for like THIRTY YEARS and then somehow come back to THE SAME BEACH???

birds can see COLORS THAT WE CANNOT SEE. there are colors happening RIGHT NOW that we don’t even get to know about.

there are sea slugs that eat algae and STEAL ITS CHLOROPLASTS and then are just like great thanks I’ll be PHOTOSYNTHESIZING NOW. there are mushrooms communicating underground. there are seeds sitting in the dirt for DECADES like no actually I will wait.

squirrels plant MILLIONS OF TREES because they simply cannot remember where they put their snacks.

A CATERPILLAR GOES INTO A LITTLE BAG, DISSOLVES MOST OF ITS BODY INTO ORGANIC SOUP, REARRANGES ITSELF, GROWS WINGS AND LEAVES.

and you’re telling me a tiny acorn knows how to become a 70-foot oak tree??? nobody tells it what to do??? it just has TREE INSTRUCTIONS INSIDE IT???

your body started as ONE CELL. ONE. and that cell divided itself into a brain that can think about its own existence and eyes that can look at stars and hands that can hold somebody else’s hands and a heart that runs on ELECTRICITY without you even asking it to???

the iron in your BLOOD was made inside a STAR.

I’M SORRY?????

we are walking around on a wet rock covered in bioluminescent oceans and singing whales and laughing rats and birds holding lifelong grudges and flowers exploding out of FIRE and somehow we’re supposed to act like this is a normal place to live?????????

🚨 RUBIO JUST SAID THE NUMBER THEY NEVER WANTED ON TV 🚨

Americans work 40 years.
They retire.
Social Security: $800. $900. A thousand a month.

Somebody who got here from Cuba three months ago: $1,500 a month.

Marco Rubio said it out loud.

“So imagine if you’ve been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28-year-old, able-bodied person who just got here. That’s real. That happens. That’s happening every day. That makes no sense.”

You paid in.
They landed.
They beat your check.

That’s not compassion.
That’s a slap in the face with your own tax dollars.

[SaltyGoat @SaltyGoat17]

Y'all wanna know how to end this "what is a woman" debate for good?

Donald Trump should identify as a woman and proclaim himself the first woman President in the United States

How fast do y'all think Democrats would hit the Supreme Court to clearly define what a woman is?

Nick Shirley destroys this loser who approached him with a flyer reading “Allegedly Nick Shirley has a small penis, prove me wrong"

Apparently this retard is the California State Assembly Chief of Staff. What kind of cringe, immature shit is this?

🚨#BREAKING: A woman who was being chased by a man in a "Chucky mask" and was asked if she was ready to die...

...got into a fighting stance, KICKED THE MAN IN THE CHEST, and he ran away

"He kept following me so I said, "Let's see if he can fight'... and he couldn't."

LEGEND.

The spiritual battle rages on, but our students don’t back down.

We will not be derailed. They cannot stop what my husband built.

We’ve got your back @Sophialilyhunt. Onward.

Being an artist who's slowly learning to code, I understand how writing may be the most ignored department in game development.

At a glance, anyone can write. You don't need to study mountains of textbooks to do it. You just type. Hand the job to some dork who reads a lot, we can fix it in post.

This seems pragmatic but the chasm between good & bad writing is as wide as Tony Hawk executing quadruple rotating backflips and a high schooler doing his first ollie in a parking lot.

Unlike the other departments, game writers have no experts in place to assure quality like an art director, lead programmer, level designer, or composer. They work and rework until the bosses say "it's good," whatever that means.

And so, imbecile businesspeople tell the writers what to write. These soulless, talentless, number-crunching amateur golf players are as unfit to regonize good writing as they are at telling whether a mesh is ready for rigging, or how to fix bugs.

So what, they say. The rest of the game looks fine. But today we see how bad writing ruins multi-million dollar projects. Players don't always notice when it's good, but they do notice when it's bad.

Writing isn't a low-level job to simply hand to some rando intern and her coke-addicted boss. It's the beating heart of a game, movie, comic, etc. All the other body parts may be in place but without blood, none of the other departments will receive oxygen.
