Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

When pondering about the causes behind the rise of the Far-Right the mainstream press always forgets one cause: The promotion & normalization of Far-Right by the press. "Populists" was a term invented by the press to avoid calling Far-Right politicians Far-Right. A new package for an old product.
