Yes! I think he was Bard’s grandson though. Or am I thinking of Grimbeorn the Old?

There’s no way Wood wasn’t dreaming of having big naturals in a pink angora sweater (or even big artificials, for that matter)

Raphael’s SCHOOL OF ATHENS, but instead of Plato and Aristotle it’s Roger Ebert and Russ Meyer in the center.

Anyone else noticing the sudden surge of memes and posts about how GenAI=bad but other AI=amazeballs? Dozens of sites and pages wheeling out the same slopaganda in the same week. Trying to use the disability community as a prop claiming we need it, when it's actually gutted remote work. Gross.

One passage that will always be inherently better in a radio play is Moria, because you cannot spend a half hour on film in essentially total darkness, which is part of the extreme dread in the book.

Yeah. I get that saying “this needs to move slower and be less violent” is not a popular critique of those movies, but I have never courted popularity.

Now to be fair, you can learn a few more things about some of the Hobbit dwarves from LOTR: Glóin: father of an actual interesting dwarf Óin: dead Ori: dead, good handwriting Balin: Old, nice, and now also dead Bombur: Fatter now Dain: I think he died in battle at the end?

Just listened to the relatively faithful 1968 BBC radio version and all I can get is: Thorin: pompous ass Balin: old but nice Dori: put upon piggyback giver Fili and Kili: young Bombur: fat Thrain and Thror: dead Durin: long dead Dain: Short Fortinbras

I can sort of hear it. Though his Sam seems a bit rowdier and angrier in his reads. Though a lot of that is, indeed, script related.

"ADHD label risks lifelong harm to children." If you don't label the disorder, then what we will be labelled instead is "Lazy." "Underachiever." "Doesn't live up to their potential." "Bad student." Those labels come with pain, shame, and abuse. The ADHD label comes with a chance for support.

Yesterday I challenged myself to see how many dwarves’ names I remembered that were mentioned in the hobbit (I got to 17 off the top of my head; there might be more). A much harder one would be to describe more than a handful of those dwarves’ personalities and non-clothing defining characteristics.

Also, if you can think of a better way to rid your child of scrofula, I’d love to hear it.

Using ladders or trees to explain evolution for example, give the false impression that one animal is “more” evolved than another or is a long destined endpoint of a process.

Last reskeet: people need to be very careful about the allure of a metaphor. We are pattern recognizers who learn lessons from stories and that’s an easy shortcut to just believing things that have no actual substance.

*whispers* Metaphors and novelty will go a long way to explain philosophies of science, particularly the science to study that which cannot be studied directly.

"You're assembling tokens just like our machines are!" I dunno. Sounds like someone's humors are disrupted. Liiitle too much black bile in the system today. Here's some exercises to regulate those. More foods with fire in them to set the balance right.
