I'm not sure if people are paying attention to Kanye West's appearance on InfoWars, but you should be.

"Why should I care what one right-wing nut job says to other right-wing nutjobs?"

BECAUSE THIS IS A REAL THING THAT HAS TANGIBLE IMPACT ON JEWISH LIVES

Kanye West denied the Shoah on the program. He said that he "loved the Nazis." He said that he "loved Hitler."

Yes, he is mentally ill. That does not excuse this at all- especially because this is going out to his fans.

There are more fans of Kanye West than there are Jewish people on Earth

Kanye, along with Nick Fuentes- a white supremacist- said some shit so atrocious that Alex Jones was the one trying to pull them back- an insane turn of events.

This will have an impact on Jewish people. People are going to be more antisemitic- already, antisemitic hate crimes are rising around both the United States and the world.

Listen to your Jewish friends. Listen to the people impacted by this hate speech.

We will outlive them.

Am Yisrael Chai.

DANNY PHANTOM ARTSTYLE X BLEACH

I’m always curious how Gandalf, who has grown used to how effective smacking rulers heads together until they FIGURE IT OUT is in middle earth, transitions back to being a minor Maia with maybe a little hero-status in Valinor. 

Like, the Valar are objectively BAD at managing the Eldar, if any of the Eldar are making decisions based on… being people and having normal emotions and stuff, and not blind obedience to divine rule. Gandalf is objectively FANTASTIC at managing people who think he’s just a nuisance, let alone a virtual god.

So I imagine Gandalf returning to the lands ruled by his fellow Ainur, who he of course loves and respects, and CRINGING at the way they phrase certain things, or expect elves to just understand the reason for this decision or that, and straight up not dealing with people questioning them. Like hopefully they’ve improved since the first age, but honestly what are the odds?

And Gandalf (Olorin I guess, but no. Gandalf.) Actually owes the Valar loyalty and fealty. He’s not a concerned third party who is secretly an emmissary from the gods anymore. Calling out his superiors is slightly more precarious for him personally than it was on Middle Earth.

I still think he’d do it, I just imagine there would be a lot of internal screaming while he lays everything out respectfully and patiently, two things he is not good at.

And oh yes, he brought Bilbo as a “companion for Frodo” and “to meet the subjects of his historical writings” and “to heal from the effects of the ring,” definitely.

Definitely not because Bilbo showed aptitude at cutting through bullshit and saying what needs to be said no matter how high and mighty the person he’s talking to is.

I imagine Gandalf just shaking his head at Manwe being like “Can’t believe he talked to you like that boss. What can you do, he’s a heroic old hobbit, they don’t have filters, very unfortunate. He did make some good points though if we could just discuss…” and then he turns around and subtly gives Bilbo a thumbs up.

Gandalf packed his two best problem solving hobbits when he went home. Frodo genuinely needs to recover, but the moment Bilbo’s mind gets back to being as sharp as it ever was (I imagine this is inevitable in a land of perfect memory) he is ABSOLUTELY going to be strategically and gleefully deployed by Gandalf. And he’s going to be 100% aware and pretend to be annoyed but be utterly delighted.

How do you preserve the food from your garden so it doesn't go bad before you can eat it?

You are wildly underestimating my ability to go fucking feral about fresh produce. I don't think I even brought snap peas into the house last year. Just ate them right off the vine.

Though I did end up freezing the strawberries/blue berries as they ripened, but even those were consumed within the week.

The only tough one was the potatoes, but that was resolved by just foisting potatoes on everyone I knew. Much more welcome than Zucchinis.

some random thoughts during reading & browsing

1.  Tolkien used to write the Quenya & Sindarin translation of the Lord’s Prayer, which can be found in the Tolkien Gateway together with other Quenya translations like Litany of Loreto.

So it should be possible, when everyone else is saying ‘Amen’, you can repeat with ‘Násië’ …… and then maybe Eru will hear that.

2. Tuor has another name ’Eladar’ which is translated as ‘Starfather’ because he is, well, apparently, a star’s dad.

Can’t help to think that maybe Idril will have a name like ‘Elamil’, star-mom; and Elrond and Elros can have a name like ‘Elanon’, star-son……what a superstar family.

That will be seriously amusing.

3. The ship name Vingilótë came from another old English legend Wade’s ship Guingelot, but of that, we know not much, because the one whose work got survived today, had thought this story was so well-known and so long, thus he just ‘pass it over’. 

Then it got ‘passed over’ , maybe forever…

4. Elrond and Elros actually grew up in a multilingual family, Elwing spoke at least the Sindarin of Doriath and the language of Beor, while Earendil could like, speak every single language you can tell (though the Quenya of Gondolin will be his childhood speech). 

So when the twins started to talk, they might speak like: ‘Nana, 今日breakfast是啥子么? 吾欲食べるgâteau au chocolat.’

And only Elwing and Earendil can understand what the hell these kids were talking about, for that will be some kind of ‘Peredhel only’ conversation.

That is how Elrond become a master of language in later history, certainly.

sometimes i think about númenor and to evil end shall all things turn that they begin well and on the house of fëanáro the wrath of the valar lieth from the west unto the uttermost east, and upon all that will follow them it shall be laid also wonder if elros escaped the doom of the noldor after all

Pokemon headcanon that once Absol are studied and people realize they prevent disasters instead of causing them, particularly dangerous workplaces get themselves a workplace Absol and it also decreases accidents.

Construction sites and fishing ships and factories will have one that pretty much just lazes about until it just gets up howling one day and knocks a dude down. They almost never figure out what would have happened but they're always like "yes absol thank you absol I am so grateful to be on the floor right now. Can I offer you a treat in this trying time"

Never mind the “Who shot first?” stuff; THIS is the defining moment of the Han Solo character:

Everyone else was just like: “Oh, fuck: It’s Vader!” and standing around in shock and terror when Vader was revealed. Even Chewie.

Most people, I suspect, would have that reaction. 

Meanwhile, Han’s first reaction, instinctively, in less than a second, was to grab a gun and try to flat-out end the guy.

He failed, of course. But God Damn if you can’t appreciate the effort.

More and more people/bands/whatever are going to be doing NFTs and you need to be mindful of not burning out on caring about this, because it's exactly what they're trying to do. They're trying to overwhelm you until you stop caring about it.

You're gonna be disappointed, surprised, angry. You're not silly for feeling this way. You should take time to process those feelings. But famous people are not on your side, and parasocial relationships are simply not worth shit compared against the harm NFTs do to our planet.
