In a way it's funny. JRRT was the first guy to do Epic Fantasy With a Map in Front of the Book, and he was also pretty much the only guy who managed to split up the party and manage the different time scales of them traversing the map to the climax of the story.

It’s crazy how this is a perfect Doctor Who introduction and they put it right at the end of the era.

Quite a flex to turn up at the presidential palace, get him to confirm you as prime minister, call him unfit to serve with no moral authority, tell him to resign, and then pose for a picture

Butcher might be my fav performance of his, which is saying a lot because I've always found him excellent whenever he's in something

He's probably the most I've ever liked the gangster take on penguin

Dr Ian Kelson is legit one of the best characters of the 21st century. A materialist with a deeply spiritual view of our place in nature that drives him to alleviate suffering wherever it is found. Meeting the horror of the world with a hardened decency

Unironically the mascot of New Humanism:

he's giving perfect Harrier Du-Bois here

Sometimes, the system works.

We have now entered an era where certain parts of our political elite have convinced themselves being publically racist is consequence-free even as society as a whole becomes more confidentally multi-cultural. The result is some spectacular public crash-outs.

This is a very me thing to bring up but I loathe the voices of those versions too, way too generic robot

Absolutely fair, a lot of people blame Yoko but it was fundamentally John's ego that drove the split

wait, fuck, this is gorillaz

Death is an unavoidable fact of life and being so rich you decide it shouldn’t apply to you is an act of arrogance and fear that leads to unforgivable actions eventually.

This goes back to my favorite Hobby Horse: in Tolkien, the fear of death is the root cause of most humans’ turns to evil. Númenor fell when even the extra long lives given to them wasn’t enough. The ringwriaths were kings who chose Not Dying over actually Living.

Political differences are not the be-all and end-all of relationships for Members of the House. When I think of John Smith, I think of an opponent, not an enemy; and when I remember him, I shall do so with respect and affection. When I think of his premature death, I shall think of the waste that it has brought to our public life—the waste of a remarkable political talent; the waste of a high and honourable ambition to lead our country; the waste of a man in public life who, in all his actions, retained a human touch; and, in some ways above all, the waste of the tranquillity and happiness that his past endeavours would have so richly deserved in the years to come. https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/1994-05-12/debates/f7738f93-06bd-4f98-be52-67ea20dff4fb/MrJohnSmith(Tributes)

The middle part, and I mean this in a good way, is very similar to what he said after John Smith's death.

Should political donations be capped to protect against undue influence? I believe the answer is – yes. Should the House of Lords be elected or appointed? An elected Upper House would meet democratic aspirations, but would be a monumental mistake. It could – and would – challenge the primacy of the Commons and create constitutional confusion. It would not retain the wisdom and lifetime experience to enable it to discharge its primary function of revising legislation. It would not be a partner to the Commons: it would be a rival. Recent General Elections have thrown into doubt the continuing validity of the “first past the post” system of voting. As voting preferences spread more widely it provides distorted results. The democratic case for examining this is growing, although changes would come with distinct drawbacks. Should Members of Parliament who defect to a different Party be compelled to face a by- election? Constitutionally, no – as they are deemed to be elected as individuals. But, in the real world, they are elected as representatives of a political Party. So – yes: logic and common decency suggest they must face the electorate again in a by-election. If the House of Commons wishes to regain the respect it has lost, it must justify the status-quo – or change it. And one further thought: is it not time to recognise that Brexit has failed to deliver its many promises, and the loss, each year, of £100 billion of European trade, and £40 billion of tax revenue is doing enormous damage to the lives and livelihoods of the British people – and their future?

Big speech by John Major tonight delivering the Clement Attlee memorial lecture at Kings College. Some extracts: thinks that our electoral system may now need changing, Brexit needs revisiting.

The Ukrainian army has gotten very little positive coverage or acknowledgement for not doing war crimes on a constant basis even when they are waging a war for survival against an explicitly genocidal invasion.

This is honestly completely unprecedented in the history of modern warfare.
