Glorfindel again! Huzzah

The Shire-Reckoning@shire-reckoning.bsky.social · yesterday

Two days’ ride west of Rivendell, Glorfindel reaches the Last Bridge over the River Hoarwell and finds it guarded by three Nazgûl. He chases them westward, leaving a beryl stone on the bridge to mark his passage.

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

It is my understanding that some of you are experiencing Fall. I'm not saying that I hate you, but..

“Zelenskyy could’ve stopped this war many times, and he chose not to … he better damn well stop” — Trump is no longer trying to conceal that he’s fully on Putin’s side

Today, my Trump-endorsed opponent, Brent Taylor, took the stage at a Trump rally outside of District 9. He spent his time talking about bringing Trump’s agenda to TN! Does he mean high gas prices, unregulated data centers, the unsafe Taskforce, and an illegal war? Thread ⬇️

"A brand new CNN poll shows President Trump at an all time low in his approval rating... look at his net approval rating now with pure independents - it's negative 71 points! I mean, these are the deep depths of the ocean. You never see numbers like these. An 86 point shift away from the president!"

Huzzah for Glorfindel

News reaches Rivendell of events in the Shire a fortnight ago: of Nazgûl on the heels of the hobbit Frodo, who carries a burden east without the help of Gandalf. Elrond sends Elves riding in several directions. He sends the Elven-lord Glorfindel riding west along the Road itself.

So, is that piece of shit onboard the Lincoln?!!! What a COMPLETE fucking DICK. Former enlisted sailor here. My thoughts: They just got back from a MISERABLE 10-1/2-month cruise, thanks to HIS incompetence. Now, when the SECDEF shows up, they have to scrub the ship top to bottom. FUCK THAT GUY!!!

This is really smart. He directly tied the technofascist buildout to white supremacy, packaging them as being part of the same project. He's encouraging voters to conflate two, which they should.

I guess this is just sort of the logical endpoint of this administration’s commitment to fulfilling their supporters’s desire to vicariously consume violence done to other people.

BREAKING: The Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed

If you’re able, please support my friend Aaron. Where would we be without his clips? Independent media is critical, and he works tirelessly to prevent misinformation and gaslighting by giving us the video and audio evidence

This was a really long day! 14 hours straight of being tapped in. It's that time in the political cycle, but if you appreciate my work, please take advantage of our 5th anniversary special and sign up for PN. Paid subscribers make all these clips possible and I think you'll enjoy it too. Thanks.

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Hegseth on Nidal Hasan: "He's gonna get a firing squad of soldiers. As it should be. We'll make sure that people are able to watch it. That it's public. Because people need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things."

Not sure if it can get more nasty and repulsive than attempted indictment of Cassidy Hutchinson, which has great potential for backfiring on Blanche and DOJ. Looking forward to discussing, along w/ CNN et al injunction, on @deadlinewh.bsky.social w/ guest host @alexwagner.bsky.social at 4:20 PM ET.

Old enough to remember when the Right mocked participation awards.

this shit is beyond parody, man. It truly is the make a wish presidency. now Trump is getting an award!

Trump voters are looking my way because I'm not bought off. I want money out of politics, money in your pocket, and Medicare for All.

If you didn't catch the debate between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, this sums up how it went for Mike:

Tax billionaire wealth. I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.

He makes a good point.

Everyone who logs on for this should go on a watch list

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed in December. Just find myself muttering variations of "this can't be real" over and over again.

“girl cats are mean” “girl cats are standoffish” “girl cats are —“ my girl cat is constantly trying to put her nose inside my nose so have you considered that it’s a you problem

Texas is running out of water, and the Greedy Few want to drain us even faster. Our aquifers are shrinking while billionaire tech corporations push massive AI data centers into communities already struggling with water shortages. We can't afford to let them drain Texas dry for another payday.

It's Artificial Intelligence. It's Twitter. It's the Gulf of Mexico. It's Lake Ontario. It's the Department of Defense. It's the Kennedy Center.
