If you ask me, using Twitter/X is as ethical as using Bluesky/Mastodont/Facebook etc. But I think it would advantageous if Signum made accounts on those platforms too. Personally I don't like Discord, but that is due it's interface.

I think this forum is the best place for Mythgard and Signum stuff. X/Twitter is the only some I'm on, to follow bands/youtubers/podcasters/Liverpool FC (and some others for entertainment and politeness) for messages.

When Azaghâl is carried off the battlefield at the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, the dwarves should sing "Diggy Diggy Hole".

Yesterday David Attenborough said on TV that elephants don't like tea (bushes at least), contrary to Prof. Tolkien's claim.

The North Polar Bear did go full Beorn on the Goblins, when they invaded Father Christmas' workshop. I think Father Christmas call his helpers Gnomes in the letters he sent Tolkien's kids. Don't have the book at hand to check, so maybe some can do this.

The Portuguese and Spanish Inquisitions were the main reason for the low number of executions for witch-craft in those countries. Often the accusations were dismissed, because they couldn't be proved.

Re-reading LOTR. Recently had my 51st birthday, and think I will not be very bendy when I reach the age of Treebeard either.

A friend of mine worked with office-machines for a while in the 90's. A white T-shirt was stuck inside. Somebody wanted to have an image on their shirt...

Just finished "J. R. R. Tolkien, Author of the Century" by Tom Shippey. What an excellent book.

It is a collection of stuff found elsewhere. With some commentary from Sibley. Finished it Wednesday.

Vend i tide, det er ingen skam å snu.

Watched "Lord of the Beans", the Veggie Tales adaption of LOTR yesterday. It was, eh, intresting.

Ok. Don't have any of the streaming-services, so I haven't seen any of the resent series out there.

Can one answer this survey, if one hasn't seen Rings of Power?
