Today in 1945, the US government dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Combined with the detonation of another atomic bomb three days later in Nagasaki, Japan, the decision resulted in the death of 225,000 people—most of which were innocent civilians. It's a sad reminder

Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.

Just curious if @RAZ0RFIST blocked you for this?
@RAZ0RFIST He also campaigned on no more wars "BuT wE WeRe AlReAdY-!" No we weren't, Israel was, they decided to make it our problem because they're our "greatest ally" (who have been nothing but trouble for us)

This post got me blocked by @razorfist I don't know why I expected the side with "BaNtZ" to actually not get butt hurt over the slightest criticism, but here we are.
@RAZ0RFIST This is grade-A, bootlicking, moving the goal post, cringe.

"[The details of the lives of authors and artists] only distract attention from an author's works (if the works are in fact worthy of attention), and end, as one now often sees, in becoming the main interest." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien, Oct 1958

I would rather have 1 Tolkien than a million "highly skilled engineers." Taking the Humanities out of the equation lowers the human spirit, it does not increase it. "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter."

Worked on this one yesterday. Hopefully it provides an overview of my thoughts in a way that is digestible. Let me know what you think! @whtvs751 @XavArts @BasedPota18 Mr. Owl Show - Bits of Meaning in Dragon Ball https://t.co/bJXhVIBHLr via @YouTube

This is one reason why DBS (likely Diama too) is not Good. @XavArts @Mano_Jota45 It is also the reason that GRRM cannot finish his book series. Tolkien understood more than any modern, but he brilliantly adds the phrase about explicitness.
"Myth and fairy-story must, as all art, reflect and contain in solution elements of moral and religious truth (or error), but not explicit, not in the known form of the primary 'real' world." ~ J.R.R Tolkien, 1951

The Kamehameha uses Truth to create habitable order, the Logos. This is why it does not always work; the Truth that there is evil in the world does not defeat it. However, it does work in one instance: the Truth that the sins of the Father are redeem by the Son.

This posts misses the spirit of the complaints with the facts. Yes, Orcs reproduced, but the familial environment was not at as the show portrays. It takes some reading but other historical societies also lacked that familial structure. Sparta for example, would never do this.
j.r.r. tolkien about orcs: “for the orcs had life and multiplied after the manner of the children of Ilúvatar. [...] and deep in their dark hearts the orcs loathed the master whom they served in fear, the maker only of their misery.” — the silmarillion

I just noticed a glaring issue in this great scene. The Mountain even at the upper limits of human strength would not be able to swing a punch hard enough to knock Oberyn's teeth out. There is no momentum or positioning that would allow it.

There is no Fox Marvel Universe or MCU without Blade first creating a market. He’s Marvel Daddy. Please retweet for a Logan-like send off. #DeadpoolAndWolverine

Found this great quote about the death of the author. It is 100% true. It is not arrogant to hold this sentiment. "[T]he source material takes precedence over the author, doesn’t matter what the author intended or what his interpretation is, the story itself comes first."

We just talked about the chapters you both, @EmperorBigD and @JordanLDurham, were going through in the last Mangalorian. Our latest episode was over Korin Tower and with @XavArts I think it goes a long way delving deeper into DragonBall than ever before! https://t.co/HtSHOfotyE
