Also, you will be frustrated by further Eowyn chapters, but I have an essay link you should listen to after you get to the end.

Minas Tirith is partially inspired by Mont St Michel. It's really obvious in the movies.

Nexium has been around since 2000, so I think the branding error is 100% on the sex cult.

It is very funny to me that around 1600, the consensus of theologians was that all belief in witches or magic was pagan nonsense that had no place in the church, or simple madness. Several witch hunters were excommunicated or burned as heretics. Yet, here we are.

If it's interior trim, and there is dirt on it, it's likely to be something near your feet, either under the dash or something around the seat rails or seat belt attachment. It's also possible it's from some other car and the brake tech was carrying it around and dropped it.

The PP/PE is the kind of plastic, but it's weird there's no part number on it. They almost always mold that in for traceability.

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.

“Aella is fighting gyges about if ai safety is just a sex cult” You bolt awake. You are not online. It is 1415. You are Charles d’albret, and you have seen the future. It cannot come to pass. The English army must be destroyed.

I work in an electronics-assembly adjacent company, and at one point in the depths of 2022 disruptions, we were buying lots of critical items off of ebay.

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
