Three days have passed and I have gathered what I believe are the most well thought out answers to the question:

Would JRR Tolkien, if alive, AGREE or DISAGREE with the latest portrayal of Aragorn in Magic the Gathering?

READ ON for the full thread of answers and my thoughts 🧵 ImageImageImage There were thousands of replies and ENDLESS amounts of anger and emotion from both "sides" of the argument of agree / disagree.

It is clear that 'identity politics' is a very touchy subject in modern culture.

Today is 9/11, and it marks 18 years since the World Trade Towers were destroyed in a terrorist attack.

Every year I take some time to reflect on it, how it affected this country, and what it all means.

This year I read the heartbreaking story of a man named Rick Rescorla. Rick Rescorla, born Cyril Richard Rescorla, was from Hayle, Cornwall. During his youth his hometown was the headquarters for the 175th Infantry Regiment. They were preparing for the D-Day invasion of Normandy. He idolized the soldiers, and joined the British military at age 17.

I am terrified. I am scared. I am anxious.

The "unthinkable" is no longer that. Despicable & vile acts of terrorism are now a daily, weekly, monthly occurrence. So many innocent lives have been taken away by radicalized terrorists, and we're not doing enough to fix it.

THREAD Today I am calling on EVERY SINGLE ONE of us - every human, creator, influencer, actor, politician, teacher, firefighter, etc - to work together to heal the world around us:

We must stop people from becoming radicalized, isolated, and violent.

We can only do this together.

How many narcissistic, ego-fueled, sociopathic men have we had to endure in 2018 alone? How many instants of abuse, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia?

You know what it feels like? It's a LANDSLIDE, but we're stuck here trying to grab individual rocks and toss them out. x/ We have a problem with celebrity, ego, & narcissism in our world. It makes sense that the entertainment business is where we've seen it the most - it's front facing and fuels tons of gossip and rumors.

But this issue is widespread. Turns out it's dominant in our politics too.
