Some thoughts on The Hobbit now that I’ve finished it. Background: I hate the LOTR movies and before this I’ve never read any Tolkien books. (Some spoilers maybe, but the book is 85 yrs old and I just assume most of you have read it) Image
It was pretty good, and overall 4/5 stars. The last 15% was very weird in that Tolkien takes the lead character off the stage and so much of the action is relayed to him after the fact.
I really disliked the poems/songs. For one I don’t like poetry but also they come outta nowhere and don’t add much.

Action and overall story was good though honestly I don’t get Gandalf. I don’t need everything spelled out but he’s written like he knows “the plan” but maybe not?

ive been on about this since 9/11 and bush days when it was the right who went into a complete meltdown about every possible "terror plot" they were willing to curtail rights and pee the bed when it was the supposedly namby-pamby left that was far stronger in response.
back in 2014 @mmfa did a story about how scaredy cat nra was like "ISIS MIGHT COME TO YOUR HOUSE SO YOU NEED A GUN" -- that is the real weakness not the hippie left. mediamatters.org/national-rifle… Image
the right says we're a bunch of wimps because we think its bad how climate change creates super hurricanes and giant tsunamis but theyre the ones who see one black or brown person or a non-gendered potato toy and lose their shit.

Rounding the corner to the end of the Hobbit. I had assumed it was all about a showdown with the dragon but now some crazy shit is happening. (Please do not spoil - I’m almost done, I know the book is super old and there’s been movies but I legit don’t know how it ends 😂)
The way the dragon is dealt with is very… abrupt.
I’m gonna end up watching the Peter Jackson Hobbit movie now btw. I watched the first trailer and I’m like “was any of this in the book???” I know I’m like 15 years behind 😝

the party of the best rhetoricians in american politics (fdr, jfk, clinton, obama) lets the dudes flipping knobs and levers take control of things for some reason
even when the gop was handing over power to knob-fiddlers like karl rove, they still understood that while not a great speaker, w bush was really good at talking to the gop gut and trump really gets it.
a lot of these guys think politics is simply a matter of getting gas prices to a certain level, getting 3 out of 5 arcane policy points, and then you win. they have no clue how someone can just go "emotion emotion emotion" and blow all of that out of the water.

Yes, they do for the foreseeable future so I think it makes more sense to act accordingly instead of lecturing, no?
Liberals have not built a culture for their core voters to plug into and be motivated to vote like the right has. It simply has not been done.
Conservatives have spent the last 50 years telling their base everything bad in their lives is liberals fault and they can solve it by voting. Liberals disappear after Election Day then show up a couple weeks before the next one telling everyone to wake up.

My mom was a much nicer and gentler person than I ever could be, but she was also extremely direct and I think I get that from her. When I was screwing up in school she didn’t dance around it. She would just say “you’re messing up.” I don’t see the sense in the dance.
I often feel like an outlier in this because so much journalism/politics dances around stuff. Just say it!
Maybe it’s also cultural too? I can’t say but feels American to talk all around it, and Jamaican to *just say it*.
