You've got quite a way with words. You should write books or something.

Anduril, anyone?

He definitely wants staff fitted with shock collars in said dome.

Although …

Same reason they go tradcath; they want all the high church ritual. And then they bounce off it when they discover that unlike some radical Evangelical preacher in Texas the Catholics actually have standards.

Tom Bombadil they're not

"chittering skinwalker" 🤣

Well said.

Give it time.

Not wanting it to be too obvious. Because of what it alliterates with…

Today's lesson: Author level shade

The global mob tied to Semion Mogilevich have some derivation of Alpha in their name. Similar broken people.

They're all the Nazgul....

my Wikipedia handle has been “Narsil” since 2003 but it looks worse and worse every day

And one of these stains on the legacy of Tolkien has been giving some quasi religious talks on the apocalypse and the Antichrist, which he seems to be obsessed with. There is something very wrong with these "chittering skin walkers".

youtu.be/pBbDxDOV6J4?... this one is recent and felt almost overly on the nose

Amazing prose!

It truly makes one wonder if they ever read any part of the books.

Meet our new AI agent, Morgoth, you totally can trust it

Icarus Airlines is actually sick

Nikola Tesla must also be pissed his name is attached to a car running on DC, his arch rival's pet. And Heinlein must be confused on why Grok was attached to an AI, when it nothing remotely it. At least he didn't use Mycroft Holmes.

When I was in middle school, a friend and I fantasized how we would split NZ and each take an island and live there in James Bond styling. Here I am in 2025 and thinking these guys stole our notes and actually thought they could do it. Seems there's never an original idea.

While NZers suffer.......

Let’s give them aluminum chain mail and tell them it’s mithril? 👍

New Zealand, of course, because you do not simply walk there.

"chittering skinwalker fingering his own taint" 👏👏👏👏👏

No punches pulled here.

IANAL, but my understanding is that you can't copyright a name. You can trademark it, but trademarks are contextual. If Anduril Industries started selling swords or Palantir started selling crystal balls, the Tolkien estate might want a word.

It's very strange and anti-everything Tolkien was about.

Pretty much this.

Or the Eagles of Manwe

At least they’re not hiding it with this latest one.

Thanks.

"a chittering skinwalker fingering his own taint" thats the stuff.

But so far has not been given the go-ahead from local council for huge resort in Queenstown.

those NZ domes might not be as safe as they imagine. we're over billionaires here, too.

It’s absolutely crazy how many of these tech dweeb edge lords claim to loooove Tolkien and miss the entire fucking point of the stories.

RIGHT?!?!?!

That is a fantastic burn.

And as a huge Tolkien fan who isn't a POS, this makes me extremely angry.

There are nine uh, "legal persons" on the Board of Directors and the current CEO has been running things ever since the previous CEO got (checks notes) "thrust through the Door of Night" and left the position.

At first I thought the “Sauron” name inapt, until I realized he is essentially selling a product that exploits the terror of people in whom he has instilled fear—thus causing them to be the agents of their own demise. So yeah, totally appropriate.

Joe Hill makes such excellent fun of this in King Sorrow.

And it's almost always a bad item. Stupid wannabe edge lord vibes

I’m hoping that when they get here they’re greeted with torches and pitchforks.

I mean, the last couple of decades, yes

Well THAT was an epic burn……went straight for the kill. Awesome…..

Hmmm. In hindsight, I guess I might have workshopped my brand a bit better. 😔 ____________________________________________________________ P. Janus Reed Gríma Consulting Group "We whisper, you wither"

When reached for comment, Sauron the Deceiver reportedly said: “Wait a minute! You mean I could have just told everybody what I wanted to do and they’d have not only let me… they’d have paid me for it?”

We don't need no stinking dome here in NZ unless we get to lock the door.
