Also, love the username. Though i feel it should be TheLopensLeftArm

I was not. Thats awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Most of the bad things to happen to elves and men (of which the events of LotR are kind of just a blip on the radar) are because a long time ago (even by elven standards) an asshole jewel-smith named Feänor got too obsessed with Galadriel’s hair because it looked like the light that came from two magical trees.

Edit: Feänor is Galadriel’s Half-Uncle.

Tolkien Lore Quick Fact:

Technically speaking Aragorn married his first cousin 65+ times removed.

WWI Quick Fact:

While thought of as a defensive struggle that lead to stalemates, generals at the time weren’t necessarily wrong to keep up the attack. Both sides were able to capture ground. Including enemy trenches. The issue was that neither side could bring reinforcements or supplies up to support those breakthroughs and keep the offensive going faster than the defenders could.

Tolkien Lore. And WWI.

“Tuna Salad.”

“i want you to blow up…the ocean!”

For nothing? No we forgave them because of oil.

Thanks for the breakdown!

With the surge in AI usage and using that in media to bring back dead artists i cant wait for the drop of the new Tupac single featuring Janis Joplin

Damn. I was hoping for Cock-Pain.

Is it Japanese i am think of that has an exclusionary “we” form? Almost as in “We(all of US but not YOU) were invited to the party.”

A lot less than lawsuits and payouts to victims families though if it keeps the cops from thinking they can maim/kill with impunity though.

I second all of these. I will also recommend the Pirate History Podcast, Fall of Civilizations, and The Ancient World for history podcasts.
