DOGE’s cuts have put vital gov't data at risk. Amid the chaos of Trump’s second term, it’s easy to miss—but the federal surveys we use to understand everything from the economy to maternal mortality to healthcare costs are under threat. My piece this week: www.economist.com/united-state...

This is actually something neat about how Tolkien, to my mind, understands and presents power and contests of power.
Supernatural characters don't have don't have a static 'power level' like a D&D character and their strength often isn't show in straight fights.

an interesting LoTR thing is how implicitly weak the Riders are at the start of the story - Aragorn holds off five of them at Weathertop - compared to the Witch-King at the end. Grip and Fang could probably fuck this dude up.
A Rider reaches Farmer Maggot’s and asks about ‘Baggins’—‘If he passes will you tell me? I will come back with gold.’
‘No you won’t. You’ll go back where you belong, double quick. I give you one minute before I call all my dogs.’
The Rider gallops away east toward the River.
