Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Kristi Noem couldn’t get to Twitter fast enough to use the Dallas ICE shooting for political points. But local news now says it was detainees who were shot — not ICE agents. She played politics, and three human beings are dead. We need an investigation into how this happened now!

It is a poster of Samwise Gamgee holding a Palestinian flag. The top right corner of the poster reads Tolkien Creatives (in black color) For (red color) Palestine (green color). In the top middle corner are the words "A Tolkien Palestine Solidarity Fundraiser. Below that are the words taken from The Rings of Power score "The Sun Yet Shines". Also in the colors of the Palestinian flag. Underneath Samwise Gamgee are four hearts that are also in the colors of the Palestinian flag. The first heart states "Raffle Ticket = $5, win exciting prizes." The second heart states "Join Tolkien Trivia Stream." The third heart states "Date: 25th Oct 2025." The fourth heart states "All Donations Proceeds To: The Palestine Children Relief Fund." And underneath the poster in the bottom left corner are the words "Unite For Palestine" in the colors of the Palestinian flag (black, red, and green).
Happy Hobbit Day to all who celebrate! We creatives in the Tolkien community are holding a special fundraiser to support the people of Gaza on Saturday Oct. 25th, the weekend of Durin's Day. Our fundraiser is comprised of a livestream w/Tolkien trivia, auction, and raffle. 1/2

I want our young people to know that there is a path forward, that a better world is possible. I don't want them to give up, to become cynical. They deserve to be young and full of optimism. They are owed a world that supports and sustains optimism.
Technically cottagecore but they had LOTR events. There were like 50 hobbits, a dozen Gandalfs, and Elendil.
Cheese curds
Akallabeth 2.0 please?
I was wondering about that
I cleaned house at Lord of the Rings book trivia at the ren faire during freaking Hobbit weekend but apparently I know nothing about Tolkien and am a fake fan because I like Rings of Power.
To Alaskans:
Do I watch Midsommar before going to a Midsommar festival tomorrow?
I’ll never understand people cheering on shows being cancelled. Especially ones they didn’t even watch.
Lake Superior sunset.
I think it would be REALLY fun to go to the ren faire with a fanny pack full of cheap rings and hand them out
Episode 8 of Andor- we’re starting to get some Rogue One vibes.
Why is it up to @rollingstone.com to write the most honest and direct headlines?

Exactly. And the 2019 economy was still largely modeled by his predecessor.
Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.
Dear god let this man cook.
It's obvious that things are very, very bad in the natural world when what was not that long ago a widespread, seasonally common occurrence can now only be observed by a select few at a single location in a national park. 🌏 #shiftingbaselinesyndrome
Amethyst shooting star at Wyalusing State Park
A guy was pulled over in Georgia. He shot two cops, killing one with an illegal fully auto pistol (likely a modified Glock). After killing him, cops found bombs and a remote trigger in the vehicle. Despite the numerous federal weapons violations, Pam Bondi has said nothing. Bad guy was white.

Do you ever sit and think about how Mordor probably had plumbers?
Woohoo!
