I don't know who besides the White House needs to hear this, but spraying cheap, Chinese-made foam wall decorations with gold spray paint isn’t classy, it’s tacky as hell and prodigiously embarrassing Right now the Oval Office looks like the dumpster behind a Michael’s

This week on the blog! We are talking Tolkien, particularly his moral vision, by a study in contrasts of 'failures' - and why Celebrimbor falls whereas Boromir 'conquers' (and how Peter Jackson gets this right, but Rings of Power gets it wrong). acoup.blog/2025/04/18/c...

This is what supporting Harry Potter does. No hyperbole: if you buy anything Harry Potter related, you are actively funding systemic transphobia. Find another book. Preferably one that does not suck.
