"For evildoers shall be cut off, and those who hope for the Lord-they will inherit the land. A short while longer and the wicked man is not here, and you shall look at his place and he is not there. But the humble shall inherit the land, and they shall delight in much peace." -- Psalm 37

@HPotterUniverse Movies are in their 360/PS3 era of "Everything must be dark, brown, and gray."

Someone brightened a couple of still shots from the Harry Potter TV series trailer. Look how much better it looks with some brightness and color!

@wonderparlour I wonder if that' why maids who are secretly ninja is such a common thing.

once asked a British friend who works as an English teacher, while showing them our staff, “If you go to Britain, are there still people like this there?” They immediately said, “No! Absolutely nowhere!” That was the moment my dream was destroyed. I remember thinking, “So this is probably how foreigners feel when they find out there aren’t actually ninjas in Japan.”

@Kharnivore2099 @Shuttlecock Huh. While I saw some screaming about them online, every single person I knew in real life (who I talked to about Star Wars) liked the prequels as they were coming out.

@DeedleFake @Shuttlecock Oddly enough, where I was from, the prequels were unamimously disliked and even despised at the time. Mostly the Phantom Menace. Some people came around to Attack of the Clones, or at least the last half of it, and many more thought Revenge of the Sith was actually enjoyable.

The thing is, a whole generation didn’t hate the Star Wars prequels. I was 18 when Phantom Menace came out, saw it opening night with a few friends from student res, and then rewatched it at least three or four times in the theatre over the next month or so. Pretty much everyone saw this movie (and EpII & III). Guys and girls. Nerds and casuals. Many went multiple times (the box office numbers prove this). The merch sold through the roof, every magazine featured cover stories with the cast, most casual fans thought Jar Jar was funny while the Star Wars nerds were obsessed with the tech behind the character. Girls loved Padme’s fashion while straight guys loved Portman. The online fandom was hyperactive with fan theories, fan art, etc with a very clear even split between the male/female demos. Fan and general public reaction was insanely positive. This particular scene became ICONIC. 98% of the negativity came from the professional film critics. TPM wasn’t perfect by any means but the media definitely tried to push the message that it was a disaster, Jake Lloyd sucked, and that Jar Jar was offensive and racist. This weird gaslighting that it was the fans who were negative and toxic is just current media trying to do damage control for just how negative they were at the time.

@lobohombreriera @Shuttlecock Yes? I never said that no one hated them before that. That would be obviously not true.

@DeedleFake @Shuttlecock False. There are several articles and videos of people trashing the sequels long before the Plinkett review came out in 2009.

"God gave me strength, I couldn't let them folks die" 16 yr old Corion Evans was hanging out with his friends when he saw a car PLUNGE into the Pascagoula River in Mississippi. 3 teenage girls began screaming for help as the car quickly sank. Evans immediately sprang into action, diving in to rescue the girls. When asked where his bravery came from, he replied "God gave me strength, I couldn't let them folks die." Police Officer Gary Mercer assisted Evans with the rescue, but he began to drown as well when one of the panicking victims tried to pull him under. Despite being out of breath with exhausted legs, Evans swam back AGAIN to rescue both the Officer and the 3rd teen girl. Four people are alive today because a young man put the lives of others before his own. He truly is a hero. 🎖

kinda weird once you see it

Jackson Hinkle, cofounder of "The American Communist Party" is deemed "Right wing."

@yelsaeTtreboR @historydefined Yes, please do some homework. militarytimes.com/news/your-mili…

@historydefined That is almost complete nonsense. Do some homework. This post is absurd.

In 1943, a US bomber over Germany was hit by explosive ordnance directly in the fuel tanks 11 times, but none exploded. After the shells were cut open, all were found to have no explosives in them, and one contained a note in Czech saying "This is all we can do for you now".

@HumansNoContext Please don't do that. youtube.com/shorts/majrC-O…

Jewish blood libels are funny because it's like "One thousand years ago, some people found a dead child and blamed the Jew, then massacred a thousand Jews in the name of religion. This proves that Jews are bad."

@TheBabylonBee What is this horribly inaccurate picture? Where are the U.S. marines guarding the streets?

@OneFineJay Once Imagine gets a bit better, inline image translations would be good, too.

Twitter auto-translating AND bringing Japanese tweets into our timelines has been a massive white pill for Americans. It’s a massive cultural exchange that we didn’t have before.

An alleged repeat criminal offender was allowed back on our streets and killed an Air Force veteran. This is precisely why I was the Democratic lead on the Laken Riley law. Why is it controversial for Democrats support deporting criminal migrants?

A new CAMERA analysis found @bbc, @cnn, @nbc and @nytimes used the phrase "war crime" 32 times in the first three weeks of the U.S./Israel-Iran war. 88% of those applications were directed solely toward the actions of the United States and/or Israel. Zero were directed solely toward the actions of the Islamic Republic of Iran. "The disproportionate application of the phrase stands in contrast with reality," writes @dmlitman. "Of the over 400 ballistic missiles fired at Israel, it is estimated that half of them were cluster munitions which drop dozens of submunitions over a wide radius of five miles. As of Mar. 22, at least two dozen of these missiles have hit populated areas, 'with over 100 separate impact sites.' While cluster munitions are not universally banned, using them to target populated areas almost certainly constitutes a war crime."

@florida_grand Yep, that's Florida.

Just so we’re all on the same page. This is Florida, and these are the rules.

@Pepinabox @wylfcen That is true, though I've found that the most ignorant people are usually ones who confidently say things that are easily provably wrong rather than those asking questions in good faith.

@DeedleFake @wylfcen Unfortunately social media is filled with armchair “detectives” who never display anything except their own ignorance.

Before we took ‘story’ from French, the Old English word was ‘spell’ – the very same word that now means a magic incantation. A parable was a byspell (bīspell), an old wives’ tale was an old queens’ spell (aldra cwēna spell), a tale of woe was a woe spell (wēaspell), and the gospel was the good spell (gōdspell, ‘good news’). If we stuck to Anglo-Saxon roots, we’d call the art of storytelling ‘spellcraft’, a fairy tale an ‘elf spell’, a sob story a ‘woop spell’, and a children’s story a ‘childerspell’.

@Pepinabox @wylfcen Bad day?

@DeedleFake @wylfcen Do your own research - but do, at least, scratch the surface when you do…
