On this day in 3019 of the 3rd Age, Frodo & company confronted Saruman over false imprisonment and food shortages.

Saruman said there were no shortages, and if there were they were the fault of the Sackville-Bagginses.

He also felt his mob of sheriffs hadn’t been violent enough.

On this day in 3019 of the 3rd Age, 4 decorated heroes of the War of the Ring learned they had been detained without due process on the orders of β€œthe Boss.”

Many a hobbit was going along with β€œthe Boss” and doing terrible things.

Our heroes suggested a better way, that ignored β€œthe Boss.”

β€œThey think that they’re tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.”

Just want to reiterate that there’s no reason for this. There is no increase in crime. There are no riots. There’s no insurrection. They’re doing this without provocation. At least until they create one.

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Utah unveils a concentration camp for the homeless. The PR for this is straight Nazi ideology.

On this day in 3018 of the 3rd Age, the Council of Elrond decided to destroy the One Ring.

Almost immediately, some argued it was an empty gesture and not real action. Others said it was a provocation. Saruman issued a statement demanding the electoral map be redrawn.

On this day in 3018 of the 3rd Age, Gandalf and Elrond flooded the Anduin, drowning the horses of the NazgΓ»l.
The hobbits swore they saw horses of water.
Scholars today think elvish protestors in inflatable horse costumes drove off the NazgΓ»l.
The truth probably lies somewhere in between.

On this day in 3018 of the 3rd Age, Glorfindel drove the NazgΓ»l from Mitheithel and left a beryl to show Aragorn the bridge was safe.

There were other beryls left, inscribed with β€œHey, NazgΓ»l! Catch!” and β€œanti Ringwraith” in blue sharpie.

Aragorn ignored these other beryls as obvious plants.

Hard night for the bottom defensive pairing. Curious how we respond.
On the upside, ASP played top 4 minutes and was fine.

On this day in 3018 of the 3rd Age, Glorfindel left Rivendell in search of Frodo et al.
His quest was made easier because he had downloaded the Wraith-Tracker app before it had been dropped from the App Store.

Thank you for sharing this perspective.

My takeaway was that he was trying to get those who’ve warned of persecution to notice it happening. Though maybe that’s me reading my own sarcasm into his writing.
