That's such a Tom thing to do

Reply in thread

Lol. This might not be popular BUT there's a reason he doesn't make the cut in the movies or extended cut releases. Tom Bambodil is basically middle earth's "MyStErIoUs WaYs." This is a hot take but I would almost go so far as to say his existence in the world ruins the book, his songs/poetry are terrible and he's just kind of there. He is meant to be a mysterious figure that lends to the overarching mystery of the world, one who has always been around and is so powerful he is basically a god, but doesn't actually give a shit about the world outside of himself or the suffering of others. I see him as a vestige of JRRT's catholicism seeping through, this ultimate force that could end the war but didn't because reasons.

Edit: grammar is hard after wine

I laughed way too hard at this. But seriously most antiquities need to be returned to their places of origin. It's 2023 how is this still a conversation to be had?

I love how so many of us former reddit lurkers found a home on Lemmy/the fediverse. I have absolutely loved being a part of the greater community here, I don't know how else to describe it but it feels like my Internet home. I love all you fellow nerds. Obligatory fuck spez.

I'm insomnia scrolling and BAM this just made my night. I always wondered why they did drew them like that. It gives such a "yes Bartholomew I know what a lion looks like" vibe but then you have real life derps and it's amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Set to Be Freed From Prison Thursday Dec. 28, Regrets Murdering Mother: 'She Didn’t Deserve That'

Reply in thread

Agreed, any mother that would medically torture their own child for years is irredeemable in my book. That being said, I'm glad Gypsy Rose is being released because she should not have been jailed in the first place. She was painted into a corner by her mother when she was "declared unfit" if she called the police they would have likely assumed she's an unreliable witness. That being said, it's awful that her ex is paying the price for her freedom. This to me seems like an open and shut case of "crime of passion" and the sentence doesn't reflect that, at all. It's a terrible situation all around.

‘Man-made famine’ charge against Israel is backed by mounting body of evidence

This isn't a "man-made famine" it's literally an ethnic cleansing, the zionists want to wipe the Palestinians off the planet. The ones they don't kill with their guns they want to starve to death. This is a colonist genocide, I am so tired of the media finding all these ridiculous descriptions. It's a genocide. They need to be asking why the hell aren't we stopping these monsters?
