“Evil labours with vast power and perpetual success–in vain, preparing always only the soil for unexpected good to sprout in.” (Letters, 46)

Evil cannot conquer forever! In the end, it was not the might of men or elves that unmade the power of the Ring: it was the hobbits, in their unassuming frailty, who brought about the downfall of Sauron. Though we may feel small, remember Frodo and take heart; never resign yourself to despair.

Please don’t even talk to me in the morning until I’ve had my coffee, 27 hours of alone time, several months by the seaside to ease my agonies, and many decades to wander the earth until the fabled blade of my ancestors can finally be reforged

Oh, yeah, that’ll do it.

In fairness the resulting fire and explosion might have set off the sprinklers.

LOCAL Columbus city leaders condemn reports of neo-Nazis marching Saturday through Short North Nathaniel Shuda and Cole Behrens Columbus Dispatch Published 3:33 p.m. ET Nov. 16, 2024 | Updated 5:47 p.m. ET Nov. 16, 2024

(This story was updated to accurately reflect the most current information.) Columbus city leaders are condemning reports of armed neo-Nazis marching Saturday afternoon through the Short North, using racial slurs toward people of color and shouting about Jewish people and white power. Several videos began popping up around 1:15 p.m. Saturday on social media of about a dozen people, one with a bullhorn, wearing all black with red facemasks and carrying black flags with red swastikas on them in the Short North.

Horrifying. Not only was this my home during the nearly decade I lived in Columbus, but the Short North is, historically, one of the gayborhoods in Columbus. www.dispatch.com/story/news/l...
