Highly recommended. This series in Caesar is excellent. The whole catalogue is fantastic as well.

@costofglory This is a fantastic series. Well done @costofglory

This Ides of March, honor the Dictator (or celebrate his demise if you’re like that) by listening to the best account of his death on the internet

@pauljpastor Great advice.

Strictly from a literary perspective, the best single thing you can do to improve your appreciation of English prose and poetry, and to improve your mastery in writing it, is to simply read the King James Bible on repeat for the remainder of your life. Get it in your bones.

@KirkMaynard59 @JRRTolkien Yes, he did.

@AdamOxsen @JRRTolkien Jackson took a lot of quotes directly from the books. Especially the important ones like this. It was a moment when I was silently mouthing with him while sitting in the cinema.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” — J.R.R. Tolkien

@lesoftballdad @JRRTolkien You are correct.

@AdamOxsen @JRRTolkien You're incorrect. That's a direct quote from The Fellowship of The Ring, Book 1, Chapter 2, The Shadow of The Past.

@ShipOfTheseusII @JRRTolkien Yes

@AdamOxsen @JRRTolkien It's from the book just much earlier than in the movie, they're still at Bag End when this happens.

@Professor_Goat_ @JRRTolkien The bad thing is I am reading them again - right now! Epic fail.

@AdamOxsen @JRRTolkien I see you didn’t really read the books lol

@JRRTolkien I stand corrected. Thanks, fellow Tolkien fans.

@JRRTolkien This is from the movie, not from Tolkien’s rendering. But whatever 👍

@itsrapha83 Beautiful.

This is what peace looks like

@KJP Amazing

Found my old Cross-Sections books in my parents’ attic. Still magic. Can’t wait to show my Son 🏰🚢

@dissidntdad Great words and work, Greg. I’m here for this!

A little introduction for new and old followers alike: First off, I’m no one special in the grand scheme of things, but I’d like to think I’m very special to my family, and I’ve designed my life off that presumption. My name is Greg, and I live with my young, growing Catholic family of 6 in northwestern RI on our homestead, where we homeschool our kids and tend to our chickens, veggies and flowers (with more additions planned in the future). I write for a Substack publication called Kinward and record a daily podcast called The Dissident Dad Show, while working on building a family business. I believe in this idea called eternalist generationalism, where responsibility doesn’t end with my lifespan or my kids’ childhoods, because it reaches upward to God and eternity, and outward into the moral, spiritual, economic, and ecological world my descendants (and my neighbors’ descendants) will have to live in. If eternity is real, then I’m obligated to build a rightly ordered micro-civilization, not just carve out a private, comfortable life. I think we’d all be a little better off if we focused on our local economies of land, people, and politics rather than getting worked up over national or global happenings. In fact, I think we’d be much happier overall. I love New England and American wouldn’t live anywhere else. I have ancestry going back to the Mayflower, so you could say I’m a Mayflower American. I’ve also fought for this country, and so have five generations of men in my family. But you wouldn’t see my kids or me going abroad to fight in any wars right now; rather, if anything, you’ll see us fighting for our own local communities and people if it came to that. I love nature and the American landscape; exploring it, being tethered to it. One of the greatest feelings is walking through the woods all day watching a bird dog run around looking for grouse and woodcock and the thrill that comes from shooting it when flushed. I think our lives would be more enriched if we conserved this natural world of ours as best as possible. Finally, I think the nihilistic mind rot of our modern age has destroyed so much beauty that used to exist in our homes, architecture, landscaping, the way we dress and treat others, our faith in a higher being, our cooking and baking and how we even present it, and even how we just think, act, and converse with ourselves and each other. We destroy nihilism through beauty. The beauty found in family, faith, nature, traditions, our communities and parishes, and having the freedom to live this way without being oppressed by any governmental entity. Thanks for following along.

@JohnLeePettim13 Why does it say hybrid on it?

Keep your Cybertruck. I'm going to drive one of these. 7.3 idi diesel with no electronics.

@ChivalryGuild This is a fantastic book. I have read it a number of times. And...Alexander's tribute to Bucephalus is amazing.

This book is a beautiful tribute to Alexander the Great's warhorse. “Bucephalus beneath me is so hot that steam rises from his flesh; the jets of his nostrils scald to the touch. I feel his will, not as an extension of mine, but as a force generated by his own valiant heart. He is alive and aware not as a beast but as a warrior. His joy fires me. I feed upon it, as I feel him feed upon mind. He loves this. It is what he was born for.”

@ad0rnai He made the same casting mistake with his atrocious take on Robin Hood.

I still think about the fact that Ridley Scott cast a 49 year old to play Napoleon when most of his well-known victories happened when he was in his late 20s to early 30s symptom of a Boomer-occupied government/entertainment industry

@alancornett This is the best idea on the subject.

My long time proposal is to return Bond to a perpetual 1960s. Do all the movies as timeless 1960s period films and it solves all kinds of issues.

@KJP A crime against good taste!

The house of the movie "home alone" 1990 and 2024 😩

@marklevinshow Stop being a racist, Levin.

Fuentes, if that is his name LOL, looks like I got under prepubescent Little Adolf's unpure quasi-white skin!  His illiterate, incoherent brain farts exited the wrong end of his dwarf-like body.  But he does have his committed following of Gropers.  He really should replace that funeral-like suit with a brown shirt, like a good Nazi.  As for deportation, given his mixed background, he would qualify for expulsion to a number Third World countries, where he can crawl back into his little, dark hole like the cockroach he is. Psycho bastard.  mediaite.com/media/news/nic…

@StephenM You guys have the power. Put a moratorium on immigration. It's been done before.

Understand what our immigration system has done to us.

@elonmusk It is hard to stomach the fact that the ballot has two foreign languages on it.

Given that he’s on the ballot twice, maybe he can win twice too 🤦‍♂️
