Really enjoyed "The Hobbit" - cherry on top is the knowledge that Tolkien himself drew the pictures in the 1937 edition.

@skeletor Compared to He-Mans life lessons back in the late 80s ("you have to work if you want to be successful!"), I am getting a LOT of value out this dude here.

@NeonPurpleStar @barney @prolrage So Putins genocide is ok huh. What a guy

"Jessica Mendoza, 35, voted for Trump. “I have two kids and I really just want to see a change for them and a better future,” she said “We’re also Christians so we voted with our morals as well.""

Seen in the Guardian. #uspol

Seen in a pizza place in #haightashbury - wondering how this ended up here, 3 years before the #Simpsons. #sanfrancisco

@Polychrome Certainly not by me because also here I fully agree - SNW is the first real Star Trek to me since Enterprise.

@Polychrome I agree and have criticized that in a toot before...I otherwise enjoyed many aspects of the show. Wondering as its been a while since I watched, hasn't "Discovery" done that with Klingons as well though? Or at least almost?

@admin @freemo @flexghost Sorry if longer conversations are tiresome. You could have just blocked/muted me though - it's two clicks, certainly less effort than writing a lengthy toot.

@freemo @admin @flexghost You can do that, but there needs to be a little more than "everything Biden ever said was wrong". Yawn! Honestly, what do you want to reply to this? All you can do there is assess if you want to go into a "discussion" with someone who just wants to sound edgy and has it all figured out anyway / is a potential troll. Most of us have been on Twitter/X, and I understand everybody who doesn't want to waste energy on this.

@freemo @admin @flexghost Yea no, because there isn't an argument there, just a provocation and not even a clever one, as demonstrably false. There is no argument here that Biden is an infallible President, but his decisions often were sane and understandable, fact-based and some of them successful. I think the discussion here is about which toots are worth one's time, and sorry, there is nothing there that deserves the energy or the self praise. Based on this, I fully understand muting you.

@georgetakei This would have been huge news only 20 years ago and today it's just more "Trump being Trump".
