Enjoy critical thought, not just accepting narrative. Aim for respectful dialogue and other viewpoints. The world is complex and interesting. Keep it that way.

I really don't care about the casting.
Film is gonna be cash grab, nostalgia bait slop.
As the spokesman for all Tolkien fans, just stop. No more "modern audience" adaptations. You won't replicate the success of the OG trilogy, and the disrespect to canon has only increased with subsequent adaptations since. Enough is enough.

Leo Woodall will reportedly play Aragorn in ‘THE LORD OF THE RINGS - THE HUNT FOR GOLLUM’. (Source: youtu.be/AXCcJdNBCkU?si…)

@ChivalryGuild I watched that the other day after binging a butload of Raymond Ibrahim podcasts and interviews. It became really clear what the message was in that movie.
English
Between this scene and the depiction of the Saracens as perfect princes and Liam Neeson's dream of a pluralistic Jerusalem, you have Total Boomerized Cinema.

@ChivalryGuild Maturing is realising that, despite being an AWESOME movie (the Director's cut has legendary status), it is incredibly anti-Christian and anti-white.

@TruthFairy131 He just needs to be honest, admit it, abdicate (preferably his entire bloodline), then duly pay back to the UK all the years he was not 'Defender of the faith'.

The Man that should never have been King ❌
How long has Charles been Muslim?
Dr. Maalouf @realMaalouf
King Charles announces he won’t deliver any Easter message this year. Back in 1993 he stated: "Islam is part of our past and present. It created a modern Europe. Islam teaches us all lessons that Christianity has lost.” I think it’s safe to say he converted to Islam long ago.

@MickamiousG It's been devastating to watch the Neocon attitude seep back into "rightwing" politics. Usually there's one nation at the centre of all the shenanigans...

I’ve noticed that my view points among the warmongers has upset many as of late, as has my realist positions on what occurred in South Australia.
I don’t follow cults.
I follow Libertarian, Nationalist values and ideals which allows me to form my own position - Supporting a foreign war effort which impacts our people back home is not in the national interest nor our nations interests.
All the foreign wars regardless in how they’ve commenced have done nothing but more harm to our country, Australia but so many throughout the west.
You can hate an ideology and think you can defeat it, but the truth is, each day we create more and more people that hate us whilst importing these same people into our country.
You bring people in from war torn countries or third world countries
You bring the problems that comes with those people
That is the fundamental truth
You want to help them with your bleeding heart?
Help them back in their home country.
We have far too many problems here at home to be wanting to support a foreign matter.
Our position must be focusing on here at home, not elsewhere

@Ryandally08 Actually, I feel there's some coordination in messaging going on. Albo and her are targeting Elon again...
English
Deranged Australian politician, Jacqui Lambie, says that Elon Musk is a “social media knob” with “no social conscience”
and should be in jail “with the key thrown away”
She adds “he should not be allowed to be on his own ideology platform creating hatred”
English
@Ryandally08 To think she came from a United Australia Party ticket originally, now she's turned full commie anti-free speech.
English
@spaceandtech_ But that's not for him to gatekeep. Im over all these politicians saying, "if you only knew". That's not for you to control.

🚨 US Congressman Tim Burchett says if the public saw what he knows about UAPs and aliens, the country would come unglued and the Earth would be set on fire.

@SandyofCthulhu Didn't they also famously have massive spinal scoliosis issues due the constant draws?
English
When a medieval skeleton is dug up on a battlefield we can tell if it was a longbowman because the collarbones are thick and deformed.
Longbowmen famously had barrel chests and were used to police and discipline other troops because of their unnatural upper body strength.

The English Remnant@TradEngland
English longbowmen weren’t knights or nobles. Just ordinary men who trained from a young age and got very, very good at one thing. They could draw bows most people today couldn’t even move, and fire again and again under pressure without breaking. Mud, cold, noise, chaos, didn’t matter. They stood there and did the job. At places like Agincourt, they cut down armies bigger than theirs. Those men are part of where we come from. Their blood is in your veins. Act like it 🏴
English
@craigkellyAFEE Craig, no offence, but it's the older generations (not all) who are still stuck in this mindset of trusting the mainstream. I dont know how to break them free. My parents will happily believe everything ABC radio tells them, to the point Radio Rwanda I could see being real.

This exposes the utterly dangerous ideology embraced by Albanese — and proves exactly why he is unfit to hold office.
His idea world is one where there is a single source of truth, enforced by suffocating groupthink, where any alternate opinions are brutally censored.
This is pure totalitarian ideology.
It’s the same cancerous thinking that doomed communism to catastrophic failure.
After the disastrous experience of COVID, you’d think anyone with half a brain would realise how toxic and dangerous this is.
But not Albanese.
Deep down, he’s nothing but an authoritarian communist.
Libs of TikTok@libsoftiktok
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese criticizes people getting news from social media because it's "misinformation," and not "consistent" like legacy news outlets. Who here trusts the "consistent" legacy media?
English
@AlboMP I absolutely abhore your policies, your divisiveness, your moral ethics, and your disdain for those you don't like.
Whether by social pressure, or by a sense of obligatory duty...
I'm glad you finally announced this. The message of the founding faith to Australia as well.

@jerseyh0mo Unlike your anecdote, people in his community back then REALLY knew each other. They were present in the moment. The fact over 500 each claimed to have seen him, is absolutely compelling, because it can't be a case of mistaken identity.
English
In 1999, hundreds of people in Belgium and France reported that they felt sick after drinking Coca Cola due to someone claiming the drinks were contaminated. It resulted in a massive recall of Coca Cola products. After an investigation by health authorities, it turned out to be a case of mass hysteria. The drinks were completely fine and the people had made themselves believe their bodies were sick. Just some food for thought.

@RossCameron4 Yeah Albo, that 'consistency' is called 'propaganda'.
What a red shirt!

Albo really sounds like someting out of the Kremlin 1950s...
Ryan Dally@Ryandally08
#BREAKING Anthony Albanese says people used to get their news from “channel 7, 9, ABC or 10” and there would be a “consistency about it” But complains that people are now getting news from “their device, which tells them all sorts of things that aren’t true” More like we know get the truth.

How does it make any sense to give the role of Aragorn to someone who looks more like Samwise than Aragorn himself? Except for Kate Winslet, the casting choices so far are, in my opinion, beyond terrible. And it’s not just me, nearly all Lord of the Rings fans agree with me.
The Mellon Heads - LOTR Podcast@mellon_heads
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Elijah Wood confirms that Leo Woodall will be playing Aragorn and Kate Winslet has been cast in The Hunt for Gollum. When asked about it, Wood responded: “That is true.” “That is true. Those are tough boots [to fill], man.” “That is tough,” he added. “I can’t imagine… but, that’s going to be great.”

@venturetwins Ai, unless he has a tiny drone following him around for those "third perso..I mean, ant" shots.
Still crazy what Ai came up with.

Delighted to inform you that this series has continued for ants.
It’s somehow both even more disturbing and fascinating…

@Stewie8t @realBathshiba @MRobertsQLD Over 500 in fact. There is more documented evidence of Jesus than all the texts supporting great philosophers like Plato and Socrates.
If a guy says over and over that he's going to die at a specific time, then claim to rise again, then does it exactly, I'm following that guy!

@realBathshiba @MRobertsQLD You choose not to believe the multiple witnesses to Christ alive again after his resurrection? Your loss.

Christianity is seeing a powerful resurgence. From a 19% rise in Bible sales to a high increase in baptism numbers, people — especially the youth, are seeking the "abundant life" promised in John 10:10. 🕊️
In a world of labels and divisions, Christianity offers vision of true inclusion: No cis white privilege. No skin colour. No diversity cards - and the only pronouns are the ones God gave us.
As we reflect on the resurrection, let’s choose connection over separation. Reach out to a family member you haven’t spoken to in a while and celebrate the values that keep our country beautiful.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe Easter! ✝️

@fandompulse That guy who played Sega, probably installed the cellphone tower that allows dimwits like her to communicate across the globe.

Ghostbusters 2016 actress Leslie Jones on why she's disappointed in men:
"No, I don’t hate men, but I am disappointed in them because they’re not stepping up to the plate.
While we sat and grew and got our [expletive] together, they sat on the couch and played their Sega Genesis. … They didn’t try to grow. They didn’t try to grow. They didn’t try to better themselves. We invented Oprah so we can get better."
How does one think this let alone say it?
