Tolkien on the creation of Orcs perfectly sums up my aversion to AI.
“The Shadow that bred them can only mock, it cannot make: not real new things of its own.”
AI cannot create something new, it relies on what is already there and bastardizes it into a cheap sum lesser than its parts. It wreaks havoc on the environment and weakens the spirit of humanity. The parallels are striking.

Sauron Called, He Wants His Ring Back
Admit it, your ego ended us
Shoed me out, a speck of dust
Longing for that one last touch
We hugged it out, it meant so much
I weep for days
Attempt to fade
My heart, my soul, my longing
Could you not see
You meant to me
Everything. My Love. Belonging.
I wasn’t with another guy
I’m flattered that you think I’d try
My Try, 🎶to keep you off my mind🎶
Was just another night
Of drinks and pool and nibling
And now, I have to wonder why
You said those things to me and lie
I called it out in real-time
All the tactics: deny, deny, deny
I see you say you say you cry
I hear you say I said goodbye
Is it even fair for you to wonder why?
When you’re the one that said goodbye
Why have I never seen you cry
Belief is hard for me to try
When I poured out and left to dry
You’re the one that said goodbye
So much disdain, so disrespectful
You stabbed my soul, you were so resentful
With no “I’m sorry” - Nothing left
But on here your pride is kept
From remorse and true reflection
No accountability - All projection
So many lies I saw from you
In disbelief I saw it through
That one day soon you’d tell the truth
Abandoned me instead – you knew
My biggest fear was used against me
Wrapped around my heart so gently
Then ripped apart and said forget me
This love I knew so well before
From other monsters with pusty sores
Brought back to life in mine in yours
I give up. Defeat. No more.
Now you say you want me back
You didn’t think that I’d keep track?
You run to win, but gold you lack
My heart is metal, yours is black
You won the fight but now you lose
All the right to me, abuse
Do you understand the words I chose?
I hope you see it; I hope you do
Now listen please, to Socrates
And just know that I can be forgiving
You must go deep inside and see
“The unexamined life is not worth living”
The journey’s long, maybe five years in fact
But Sauron called, he wants his ring back
Tom Bombadilllllllllll
“Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow! He was a merry felllloooooow.”
I read the fellowship 25years ago and largely ignored his presence, but I’m just listening to the audiobooks and Andy Serkis does such an incredible job of chewing through all the singing narrative with flair.
Did anyone listen to the audiobooks and it give them a different perspective on a character or side quest? Although I didn’t mind his casting in Rings of power either.
If you thought the animated film was a bad dream, no it wasn’t
I saw these figurines for sale, what a jumpscare!
Lord of the Rings 7-Up Throw Blanket
One of the weirdest and most awesome Christmas gifts I ever got as a kid was this throw blanket for The Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers with a giant 7-Up logo on it 😂
My uncle worked for Canada Dry for almost 50 years and got it from work for some reason. Had some friends over a few weeks ago and they were gobsmacked at how out of left field this thing is.
I'll never part with it ❤️
LORD OF THE RINGS Cast Reunion Q&As hosted by Stephen Colbert for Alamo Drafthouse in 2021
These were so much fun to put together back in the day, and I realized yesterday that we'd never shared them online in full (I think WB used them on the 4K BluRay release).
Anyway, with it being five years later (!!) and this being Stephen's final week on The Late Show, it felt like a good time to share. They're up on our YouTube and over at the drafthouse.com blog.
The Elder Days Tolkien Quiz: How Deep Does Your Lore Go? - Quizzodrome
I made this quiz, but now I’m wondering if 50 questions might be too much. 🤔 Would it work better as separate quizzes —one for each Age?
