“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Israeli public media is posting the Jabalia death march as the ultimate victory picture of Israel's genocide.
Children, men & women caged in a concentration camp, starved & bombed, then rounded up & forced to move to the next concentration camp to be caged, starved, & bombed!
@MarkElDude Small nuance: what they actually say is "De puta madre" which in this case, the "de" gives it the meaning of something being a certain way, kinda like "this is shit" -> "this is THE shit".
It could be translated as "let's fucking go!" or "fucking awesome!", so to speak.
Just learned that Spain’s Spanish dub didn’t have the best translation so instead of saying “COWABUNGA!” the boys say “PUTA MADRE!” In English, that’s like having them all yell, “SON OF A BITCH!” as a battle cry 😂😭
I think it says a lot about the Padres and forgiveness that, even after having Dodgers fans throw things at them from the bleachers, they continue hitting balls into the bleachers for Dodgers fans to throw at them.
deeply disappointing to see how much of the “no human being is illegal” crowd was just using the slogan for anti-trump political purposes without any actual commitment or belief to the principle
in true politician fashion, she said absolutely nothing about marcellus khalifah williams or his case until he passed and she could use his death as a political talking point
