I didn't know that JD Vance is a Tolkien fan, though it seems Rachel Maddow is aware.
I did know Stephen Colbert is another big nerd; not sure what that says about conservative conspiracy theories, but is reflective of how multi-facted good art can be. In the '60's LOTR was beloved by the counter culture, and now by the new right. Nobody's right if everybody's wrong, and vice versa. For his part, Tolkien staunchly denied any metaphorical intent.

RIP Naomi Pomeroy. She was a friend, hard to believe she is gone.

finally succumbed to twister yesterday. an impending reboot/sequel, a podcast and the desire for a mindless movie were the motivating factors. wasnt quite as insipid as it might have been. what i found most laughable were the ancillary characters who existed only to give the impression of bon homie, that this rag tag bunch were constantly cheerful, a little ribald and fearless in the face of natures wrath but wholly committed to the project and had no interior life otherwise. then they beat you over the head with the nobility of their scientific pursuit of predicting tornadoes to give the common folk more time to seek shelter. they had to hammer this home by destroying part of a town and in the process nearly killing the quirky beloved auntie. she made them all steak AND eggs just hours earlier!!!
anyway, further proof of my cognitive decline and in the interest of all americans i am bowing out of the race.
