Today is the 89th anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit. Here's a thread on interesting glimpses the book gave us into the legendarium Tolkien had at that stage already been working on for over twenty years but which readers at the time would have had no sense of.

In case you were curious, here’s the transcript for Emilia Clarke’s #HighValyrian speech at the #Emmys. I received the request two days prior, so she really only had a day to work on it. #conlang Jemme ilagon rīgles ezīmītsōs issa— "It is an honor and a privilege to be amongst you all—“

AUTUMN FAIRIES John Anster Fitzgerald's painting is a glorious depiction of fairies in #autumn but if you look closely the rabbit is held captive by the tricksy fairies, symbolised by a rather menacing fairy to the left wielding a hawthorn spear #GothicFairies

RIP Tim Curry, who had the range to star in the two greatest movies about a mutiny in the middle of a transatlantic sea voyage, and also the crew occasionally breaks into song

Tim Curry as Dr. Petrov in The Hunt for Red October

Tim Curry as Long John silver in Muppet Treasure Island, and also Sweetums

The word “tired” is from Old English ġetēorod, which literally meant ‘exhausted.’ Two more commonly used synonyms in Old English were wēriġ (weary) and mēþe,which would have been ‘*meethe’ in Modern English. Hēo dyde stæflīċe nāwiht tōdæġ (She did literally nothing today)

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

We should sync clocks more closely to the sun again, with permanent Standard Time.

“XKCD” cartoon. First panel, a man at a lectern says, “We all hate springing forward, but we love falling back.” Second panel, he continues, “Therefore, we are abolishing the spring time change only. We’ll gain an hour every year, but never lose one.” Third panel, someone asks, “Won’t that cause the clocks to spiral out of sync with the sun?” He replies, “Then we will meet the chaos clear-eyed and well-rested!”

Does the senate have some sort of ritual where they wack Mitch McConnell three times with a little silver hammer to see if he's dead?
