And they want us to think Roman soldiers carving dicks on Hadrian’s wall was a fertility ritual rather than a bored Roman soldier having a laugh carving a dick into the wall

is it more embarrassing to *survive*, or to be *killed* by an ancient sling bullet that reads "get pregnant with this"

“I would fix all the world’s problems if I had more power.”
You have to really work to show this level of self aggrandizing pride while also showing such a painful lack of understanding of the world.
This is the way a child thinks. It’s embarrassing.

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible.
Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness.
I just don’t get it.

The thing leftists never understand is both one thing and two things at the same time.
The one thing is that no amount of human power will ever fix the problems of the world. You cannot force human nature to be better. You cannot, for example, spend enough money to end homelessness. The problems that lead a person to become homeless are buried in the human heart and mind. You can help people but only those who will be helped. But you will never be about to impose a better nature on a person from without.
And the second thing that is really the first thing is that the problem exists in your heart too. You imagine yourself empathetic, kind, wise, understanding. You think you would make all the world’s ills go away if you just had the power. You can’t even see yourself clearly enough to try to root out the greed, envy, hatred, and biggest of all, the pride eating away your soul.
I hope you figure it out. It’s the only way you can actually begin to solve the world’s problems. But it goes completely against human nature.

If she wanted it not to get canceled then she and the other people behind the show should’ve had more respect for the source material.
I have and always will make fun of WoT. It needs real changes to become more than an intolerable slog. But those changes are ones to enhance what’s there, not to discard and actively disrespect it.

Rosamund Pike, star and producer of The Wheel of Time, in her first public comments after Amazon cancelled the series in May 2025 following its third season, which had received the best reviews of the show's run:
Pike told reporters the cancellation left her with "anguish and rage," said the show "deserved another chance," and called on another streamer to rescue it.
Amazon cancelled The Wheel of Time. Then it greenlit Stargate. Then it cancelled Stargate before filming. Is Jeff Bezos the most destructive force in science fiction television?

Maybe same thing I tell my sons?
You’re responsible for your actions. You’re a tall large human male and for that reason alone you need to be extremely mindful of your energy, your anger, and your reactions. You need to understand that being a good man essentially means any room you’re in should automatically safer for women, children, and the elderly. When you walk in a room your demeanor needs to communicate this fact. If you are violent there better be a damn good reason. You’re allowed to defend yourself if attacked, not if you’re provoked. If a man hits you you’re allowed to make that man sorry he did. You are not to be the aggressor because there will be consequences. You don’t get to decide that isn’t fair. You don’t get to avoid those consequences because you really don’t like them. You’re a man. Act like one.

GO BUY A SWORD 🗡️ FROM ELIJAH, WHO IS OUT OF WORK THIS WEEK TO BE WITH HIS KID AT THE HOSPITAL. ❤️ Also, SHARE THIS TWEET to help him advertise for free.
Not yet. I get paid whenever people order a sword, but I never feel like I can advertise for them unless I’m getting orders out.

As a failed Palpatine clone Snoke sucks.
It had the potential to be be brilliant though. Snoke sucked as a character and we didn’t need a Temu emperor character. Snoke dying as a stepping stone for Kylo Ren to become the true big bad would be an excellent way to distinguish him from Vader.
But that would’ve required three seconds of thought and that’s three more than Disney was willing to give this series.
By far the dumbest decision in the sequels was to introduce this new big bad guy - Snoke - and then kill him off with absolutely zero explanation of who he is or why he's important.
And then re-introduce the same big bad guy from the original trilogy because they ran out of ideas.

Look I wouldn’t mind more Qmir so long as any connections to the Acolyte are downplayed as much as possible but the knights of Ren have zero aura or interest after getting used as fodder in the worst Star wars movie.
Would you like to see a TALES OF THE KNIGHTS OF REN animated series on Disney that would cover stories from Qimir to Kylo Ren? 🤔💡

Looking out over my vast assortment of kids with special needs, medical needs, mental health needs, did drugs, went to rehab, got a record and had to go to court about it crew of kids I didn’t give birth to and I am just wondering who the f*ck you’re talking about because I know for sure it isn’t me.
My credentials would suggest otherwise. When I say I’m pro-life I mean *willing to spend my entire adult life and all my time and money on these same kids you’d straight up murder and expect applause for your benevolence for doing it*. My money, time, energy, love, resources, and legacy are EXACTLY where my mouth is.
Oh but Lu if they’re gay? Oh you mean like the two who told me they were gay?! Like those two? What like I’m a boogeyman from a shitty indie film where the mean right wingers kick out the precocious gay kid? Except we didn’t and just didn’t care and loved them anyway and they both just grew out of it and ended up with men without a single word or side eye from me. What was I going to say? I married one of their moms once. Pot meet kettle. It ain’t that serious.
You can always tell liberals who have no real friends on the right. Like we are all Voldemort. BOO! Like we are characters in an angsty teen YA novel. Jump scare!
Pro life republicans are really funny.
"Disabled children are a gift from God. You should accept them"
Okay, I clearly can't so will you adopt the child? No? Will you donate to children with special needs? No? Do you donate to orphanages? Free food for kids? No?

I keep coming back to this post. Inconvenient, difficult, unwell children saved my life. I remember the day I met each of my children. The intention of this post isn’t cruelty. I have made choices in my life that would bring me to my knees with grief if I didn’t know we have such a thing as redemption. Just hear me out. I’m not casting a stone.
My youngest was having a baby meltdown. She was in severe distress. I remember finding a chair and just letting her wail on my chest. Inconsolable. So I sat with her in her inconsolable moment. There for damn sure wasn’t fixing it. At least not then. I will spare the details for her privacy, but killing her in the womb would have felt merciful to the people who imagine death for unborn children could be a mercy.
So she wailed. I rocked. I explained the situation to her. So listen this is a bullshit situation we find ourselves in. You’re in foster care. This is confusing. I don’t smell right to you. My heartbeat is unfamiliar. My voice is unrecognizable. You also feel like dog shit. Like proper bad. I’ve got you. I’m going to just be right here. So she lived. We lived. We navigated that particular stormy sea as we have all the others.
My son was so sick when he came to me I had to put him in a warm bath to remove the clothes adhered to his wounds. This isn’t hyperbole. He wasn’t speaking. Hell I wouldn’t have talked to people anymore either. I’m like boo I would keep my mouth shut too. You don’t know me I might be plum crazy. Let’s go to Denny’s and get waffles and think about this relationship.
There are four more. All different in their own ways. My reactively attached kid. My kid we sent to rehab. Listen none of it is a nicely wrapped package like a hallmark movie. I didn’t snap my fingers and things were just cool. Hell things still aren’t cool. My kids have court dates. They make messy decisions. So do I. We fight. Sometimes we have to repeat classes because we can’t get our shit together and math is hard.
But see the promise isn’t easy. You get the road to travel. It’s proper hard. But my blessings come with actually participating. In showing up. I’ll go to court with you, babe. Want to get coffee on the way I’m thirsty. I mean maybe he had it coming.
Our children are not going to be perfect regardless of their genetics. Your sweet angel will meet the wrong man and develop a pill problem. Your healthy child will get a rare disease and need around the clock care.
All we can do is show up. Allow each unique human life to unfold. Participate in the absolute wonder of it all.
If you should so happen to try again, and that child has Down syndrome, consider this an opportunity for grace. This season will be hard. Your critics will inform you of their feelings. Reflect. Allow some to love you and allow others to speak truth to you. It will be a lifelong grief. But that’s the road you’re now on.
Be well.
This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.
The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.
I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.
She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.
Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.
When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.
Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):
50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.
I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.
The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.
We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.
This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.
You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.
To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.
As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.
It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.
Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

Tension/ambiguity about exactly who's in charge among the Emperor's favorites is pretty true to life, esp given that the Republic has just been overthrown & they're actively debating how much of the official chain of command still applies
High-ranking officials talking down to Vader in the beginning, & then Vader teaching them not to do that, is not a plot hole
Grand Moff Tarkin clearly is Vader's superior in A New Hope - it's he, not Vader, who orders the Death Star to fire and Leia's execution.
Yet, in the other two films Vader is clearly second in command to the emperor and always was.

Everybody liked this part.
It was the other meandering 90 minutes that people rightly complained about. (The podrace is fine but overrated.)
The previous generation watched this in theaters and really said George Lucas ruined Star Wars. 😭
