Apathy is the greatest problem in the world today, and I just don't care enough to fix it.

@SandyofCthulhu It's only superfluous if it's bad. Beauty, on the other hand, is never superfluous.
Or as Henry Fielding puts it:

I wonder how this claim about Tolkien got started. I hate superfluous text as much as anyone, and loathe Tolkien’s songs (for instance) but I do not see any case where he over-describes.
Like when he describes Minas Tirith, it’s all apropos of what is at risk & what will be happening in the next section.
Heck, Lovecraft would make a better foil for over-description.

@JaptheBaptist Not an exact match, but "The Skull of Silence" is my first thought of a Howard story written like a Lovecraftian one.

Yesterday on @CosmicSkeptic, author Philip Pullman continued his long, losing battle against C.S. Lewis and Narnia (A filthy lie!) A quick @GeekyStoics rebuttal to some nonsense about The Magician's Nephew.

@terrakei07 I live in California. People don't really hate California. They hate California's big cities, and the California government. They are the reason California is seen as a very progressive and incompetent state that looks down on other states.

嫌味とかではなく本当に素朴な疑問なんだけど、アメリカ人の皆さんはなんでそこまでカリフォルニアを嫌っているんですか?

I have another proposal. We swap California for Japan geographically and leave everything else as is.

@momonomeah I grew up listening to worship music from Hosanna! So I would recommend their various albums like this one.

@AiPinfu2003 For a first time viewing, 4-5-6-1-2-3 is maybe better? I prefer 1-2-3-4-5-6. If you want to try something wild, but works surprisingly well, try 1-4-2-5-3-6.

@bull_feath95552 @mask_bastard @DAKKADAKKA1 Not that stupid when Mormons renounce the Trinity, and claim that you can become a god like Jesus. That's not just a difference of opinion, that's heresy.
English

@mask_bastard @DAKKADAKKA1 Yes. There is a very retarded debate in Christian/Mormon parts of the internet where Christians try gatekeeping Christianity while Mormons demonstrate how much they believe in Jesus.
Orthodoxy vs. orthopraxy.

Just when I think I can't be more shocked...
This is Chasten Buttigieg (Pete's husband) and his reaction to the BEST evidence-based literacy campaign we've had in ages coming from the Department of Education in the midst of a literacy crisis. Chasten, with a Master's in Education, reacting like this? We know that parents are a child's first teacher and make all the difference in a child's literacy development. We know the massive impacts of early read alouds at home. We know how important home libraries are.
So, what's the problem?
