Fun LOTR Fact for July 4th:

Tolkien wrote that the reason Gandalf used fireworks with the Hobbits was because he was the bearer of the ring of fire (Narya) and that was the most “child-like” way to express his power around them.

If you're “pro-Ozempic” but “anti-vax because fetal cells,” I have news for you:
Semaglutide was tested using HEK293 cells, yep, a human embryonic kidney cell line. Funny how the outrage vanishes when the drug melts pounds instead of viruses!

Every day on the internet makes it abundantly clear that some people have never had a single person turn around and say to them, ‘Cite your sources’ because, and I say this with every ounce of love I can muster as a teacher: while you are entitled to your opinion, that does not make it fact.

Many people want to imagine being a “hobbit at heart” as sitting around eating strawberries in the grass. But they forget how hard-won those strawberries are.

We think of Hobbits as quaint, but there is strength hidden within them that would rival the greatest elf-lord.

Rupert Murdoch's NGN issued a formal apology to Prince Harry and acknowledged its private investigators/journalists hacked his phone, surveilled him, and misused his private information, & acknowledged the "intrusion" of Princess Diana.

They "agreed to pay him substantial damages."

Bravo, Harry!
