Wow, woke up to a reddit post I wrote getting retweeted a couple thousand times... maybe I should get back into writing more 😅

@dysmemic @maiamindel @MD_Truesdail Which is to say, not even remotely lacking in nuance. Many Catholic theologians have spent their entire lives studying and wrangling over the question of morality.

@dysmemic @maiamindel @MD_Truesdail I don’t think it boils down to “which side will you land on” at all. It’s established that not just Boromir, but all characters, even Frodo, *would* have succumbed to the temptation of the ring. None had the power to resist& destroy it. It’s ultimately all very Catholic though

Yeah Tolkien had definitive good and evil with no moral complexity or ambiguity

@JamesZetlen @gnrtvty @dysmemic @maiamindel @MD_Truesdail “Might be a bad person”. Bro, this is an argument about literary interpretations of fantasy novels. It doesn’t need to be acrimonious. Are you okay?

@DavidCShell1 @coltgovtmodel Also morally superior-seceded from Virginia and fought for the Union.

@coltgovtmodel Ah, but you've overlooked the most fearsome of them all, the Virginian Appalachian. They combine all the leadership traits of their Native Virginia, with the wild aggression and willingness to fight no matter the odds of the Appalachian stock.

@kevinamezaga We tried to tell them....

South Miami’s downtown has fallen so far, and it’s really an example of both the decline of malls, but also how you can’t create a pedestrian oasis surrounded by massive highways (and it will survive). What a chance to integrate with Metrorail that they completely ignored.

@DonnaGallipeau @jeffvandermeer What are you trying to say?

As for indoctrination in Florida schools, we remember our daughter in middle school accused of being a witch for the normal Jewish Friday candle lighting, called in for counseling for dressing goth, being asked by the school counselor if she knew where she would go when she died.

Florida has no statewide heat protections for workers. Miami-Dade has been considering a local standard for ~a year. Outdoor workers are tired of waiting. “If our work is essential, pass a law to protect us... No more plans or words, we need action." miamiherald.com/news/local/env…

@MeyerRen3 @Quester111 @BasedMedical Ah yes, a survey, the most robust and scientific of all research methods. Put your calipers away bro, it’s embarrassing.

@ConservationCos @Quester111 @BasedMedical If you had any concern for scientific accuracy, you would not be able to deny that men are physically stronger than women and typically rank higher on traits like independence according to any noteworthy study on the matter.

@KMRTMoose @threechimneyss @RexKwonDo92 Oh wow. Didn’t even notice the name. TF? 😂

She’s a true Balkan woman

@Quester111 @MeyerRen3 @BasedMedical If you get a response, it’ll be something akin to him gesticulating at a bunch of phrenology diagrams and long-winded speculations about the logistics of hunting mammoths, then saying “it’s science!”

@MeyerRen3 @BasedMedical Of course, but which one of those anatomical or hormonal differences governs independence?

@threechimneyss @RexKwonDo92 Maybe you just don’t know how to cook it.

@mephjeff @MikeGrunwald @BillyCorben @MayorDaniella Eileen Higgins, Danielle Cohen Higgins, Heyman, and Garcia voted to hold the UDB, everyone else voted to overturn

@MikeGrunwald @BillyCorben @MayorDaniella Where can I find a list of the vote? No article I find breaks it down

The corrupt hacks of Miami-Dade override @MayorDaniella’s veto and screw the Everglades. They have no shame. wlrn.org/news/2022-11-1…

@cityafreaks Play as the Aldmer. How often do you get to fill the role of a Gnostic extremist?

@Mario_4411 @BillyCorben @sh3k1n4h @MayorDaniella @CommishDiaz @MiamiDadeBCC Name someone in office with a better record.

Miami-Dade @MayorDaniella secretly negotiated another $20+ million sports welfare deal for billionaire Dolphins owner that got snuck into the commission agenda at midnight by @CommishDiaz and unanimously passed with no debate #BecauseMiami is an oligarchy: miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/mia…

@Yoo_so @BillyCorben @MayorDaniella @CommishDiaz @MiamiDadeBCC How can we expect more progressive candidates to rise with a base so fickle and jaded that given the slightest pretext they’ll turn on the most consistent ally they’ve had, confidently declare every good thing she’s done “bare minimum” or a nefarious ploy, & demobilize?

@ConservationCos @BillyCorben @MayorDaniella @CommishDiaz @MiamiDadeBCC Great job on many fronts

@Yoo_so @BillyCorben @MayorDaniella @CommishDiaz @MiamiDadeBCC Bruh, did you just retweet the post we’re already on? I saw it. Doesnt thrill me, but it also doesn’t undo years of reliable support for the environment and the biggest affordable housing budget in county history, or change the fact that there’s no one better running in 24.

@Yoo_so @BillyCorben @MayorDaniella @CommishDiaz @MiamiDadeBCC pretending we have a completely different political landscape than the one which actually exists gets you nowhere. Ur premise is flawed, she’s been doing a great job on many fronts, and as someone who has very much not been complacent, I can tell u she’s the best I’ve seen

@ConservationCos @BillyCorben @MayorDaniella @CommishDiaz @MiamiDadeBCC That “this is Miami” line is the reason we haven’t been able to get proper leadership. Everyone is complacent and celebrates mediocrity. No one will come up to the stand if you keep licking her boots

@Yoo_so @BillyCorben @MayorDaniella @CommishDiaz @MiamiDadeBCC This is Miami. someone not actively hostile to the environment & working class is pretty rare already What she’s done is not only not just the bare minimum, it’s way beyond anything I’ve seen a Dade county Mayor do. Which local elected with a chance at the mayorship is better?

@ConservationCos @BillyCorben @MayorDaniella @CommishDiaz @MiamiDadeBCC You cannot celebrate the bare minimum. Get you standards up

@Yoo_so @BillyCorben @MayorDaniella @CommishDiaz @MiamiDadeBCC And yet she is literally one of the only elected officials I’ve ever seen to oppose doing so when developers start waving bags of money. She’s also focused more on biscayne bay health than any previous mayor, & massively increased the environmentally endangered lands budget.

@ConservationCos @BillyCorben @MayorDaniella @CommishDiaz @MiamiDadeBCC The bar is still very low. You don’t need to be “environmentally conscious” to understand the consequences of expanding the UDB.

@0112_R_ @BillyCorben @MayorDaniella @CommishDiaz @MiamiDadeBCC I did read it. I was agreeing with you, not arguing with yours
