Rowling is a monster. Harry Potter is pablum. This review is awful. Books lead you to read other books because when you read anything you want to read more. All books have that quality. Parents, teachers, librarians, that's how you get to the good stuff.

@alexwgalbraith.bsky.social I'm a leftist so I believe that wrestlers deserve worker protections and should unionize. Your piece, though, shows little respect for the art of professional wrestling and it's performers. It's lazy and condescending and will turn off the people you're trying to reach.

No we don’t have any presents. Or what was it you said? “Gifts”? No we don’t have those, why would you think that. Why are you being weird

Responsibility for terrorism doesn't just fall on the perpetrators but also anyone who enabled and fomented them. And America is exceptional at enabling and fomenting terrorism. In fact that's what I've been arguing this whole time. Welcome to the conversation.

This is a great point. It would be impossible for Al-Qaeda to be a worse actor than the United States even when comparing their relative influence because the United States helped create Al-Qaeda and ultimately gets responsibility for their actions.

Beard Check @beardcheck.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

That's why I said America has done it on a global scale, cause they're the ones who operate on that scale. Are you using Socratic dialogue to cover up for the fact that you don't have an argument?

Beard Check @beardcheck.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

It means when you're judging things based on their relative weight class, I still beleive America has done way worse on a global scale compared to Al-Qaeda. I've answered your riddle, now what?

When having a conversation with someone who is talking about Woke 1 vs 2, what's the point of bringing up Gamergate? Anyone who differentiates between Woke 1 vs 2 already agrees that Gamergate was bad. You're basically saying: "Wow you think Woke 1 was bad but have you heard about the holocaust?"

I think the worst thing it did was allow these people to believe that they did something without producing any meaningful change.

The backlash to woke 1 from the right, was a backlash to "woke" no "1" needed. If you're arguing with someone about woke 1 vs 2 and you bring up these cases, you've already lost the plot.

Beard Check @beardcheck.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I know writers don't make the headline but a bad way to remind people of "Woke 1.0" is by using the word "actually".

I think the easier explanation for why Spielberg got bored with Hook is that he was told he was being given 65 million dollars to make a dinosaur movie.

011

Beard Check @beardcheck.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

The argument of the essay that Hook caused Spielberg to lose his "sweetness" or sense of child-like wonder only off-handedly mentions that he made Jurassic Park immediately afterwards which has sweetness and child-like wonder in spades.

I disagree with a lot of this video essay but "Men will literally make Hook instead of going to therapy" is a great line.

I was in a parking lot for a Harbor Freight in Baltimore and the people next to me had a philosophical conversation about whether God disapproves of adultery or smoking crack more while smoking what I can only assume is crack.

After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van. His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.

@Harris CountyDAO
We can confirm the substance found in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's van tested negative for narcotics/ illicit drugs.
We are not commenting further on the test results, as the investigation is pending.

We have notified Salgado Araujo's family because we felt they had the right to know.

I've already stated my position that firing your weapon, for any reason, should be the end of your LEO career. Thanks for serving. I think going after the wrong person on a warrant should be the same result. Did both? Automatic prosecution for negligent homicide at minimum.
