My wife changed her mind about being married.. and we've got two young kids. My mom keeps asking if we're coming over for Thanksgiving - I just say "yes". My wife asked if it would be OK if she attended Thanksgiving - I just say "yes". She keeps saying she's leaving but hasn't left.. it's been weeks. It's either going to even more depressing than it is now or the most Jerry Springer-esque event of the year.. actually, either of those scenarios are pretty depressing. I am become alcoholic.

LOTR just came on AMC and I thought I’d watch a bit, but holy fuck, it’s so horribly shot. Awful cinematography really ruins this movie. How did Jackson ever get approved to make 3 of these movies? (Plus 3 more after)

Twitter Offered Russian Television Network RT 15% Of Its Total Share Of US Elections

Twitter wanted RT to spend big ahead of the 2016 US election, offering a significant portion of its election-related ad inventory in return. The social media company offered the Russian state–owned television network up to a 15% share of voice ("SOV") on US election advertising — or the percent of all ads run on that topic — for $3 million. RT's share of voice was 2% at the time of the pitch, according to a June 2016 email from a Twitter sales executive to RT staff members that RT shared with BuzzFeed News. The $3 million spent would multiply RT's share of voice more than sevenfold, but still leave it short of CNN's 56% and FOX's 32%. RT declined the offer.

"We do not have any comment on our private conversations with any advertiser, even a former advertiser," a Twitter spokesperson said. Twitter did not dispute the email’s validity. After courting RT's ad dollars during the 2016 election, Twitter reversed course last week when it said it would prohibit accounts owned by the network from advertising on its platform: "This decision was based on the retrospective work we've been doing around the 2016 U.S. election and the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that both RT and Sputnik attempted to interfere with the election on behalf of the Russian government."

The intelligence report Twitter referenced called RT "the Kremlin’s principal international propaganda outlet."

Rewatching The Lord of the Rings trilogy...

and I'm pretty much fast forwarding through any scene with Gollum. Also skipping most of the Frodo/Rudy romance.

The music is so ham-handed.
