Green Lung is a very good band. The Ancient Ways is a very good song. youtu.be/-yoXz7jDgeE?...

Ich lach mich wirklich scheckig, dass der KULTURSTAATSMINISTER der Nationalbibliothek sagt, sie solle halt digital sammeln und die darauf verweist, dass sie gesetzlich angehalten sind, analog zu sammeln, das ist so bräsig von Weimer.

Aragorn reaches Pelargir, on the fifth day since setting out from the Stone of Erech. Fifty ships of Umbar lie at anchor. Aragorn orders the army of the Dead to attack. They run directly across the water to the ships. The Haradrim start jumping overboard in terror.

Why, Admiral? Why?

Happy day

I've been out of work for seven months now, and I could use your help. Here are six ways you could give me a hand: graemedavis.wordpress.com/2026/03/11/h... Thanks in advance!

Sonst würde ja die Europäische Kommission keine neue Förderprogramme für Atomkraft aufsetzen. Das wäre ja komisch.

Find ich gut, dass die Endlager-Thematik jetzt europaweit gelöst ist. Etwas überraschend, aber ich finde es gut.

2266 years ago, on the 10th of March 241 BCE, the Romans sank the Carthaginian fleet at the Battle of the Aegates, ending the First Punic War. Sicily changed hands from Carthage to Rome. This consolidated Roma as the dominating military force in the western Mediterranean. #otd #history 🗃️

From the walls of Minas Tirith, Pippin and Beregond watch Faramir and three other men race desperately towards the city under the shadow of five Nazgûl. What looks like a bright star on the fields is Gandalf riding south. Light flashes from his hand. The Nazgûl retreat.

While Gandalf attends councils of war, Pippin has befriended Beregond, a guard of Minas Tirith. Now he meets Beregond’s son Bergil. They walk down to the Gate to watch men from the south march into Minas Tirith—only three thousand, because of the corsairs that threaten the coast.

"No living man may hinder me!" "But no living man am I! You look upon a woman." Happy #InternationalWomensDay! #Tolkien #BookSky

Frodo and Sam wake. Faramir returns their packs, which he has had filled with provisions, and gives each hobbit a staff of polished wood. They are blindfolded with Gollum, lead out of Henneth Annûn, and released into the forest. They start walking south.

Aragorn and his Grey Company reach Dunharrow at dusk. When Éowyn can’t dissuade him from his plan to take the Paths of the Dead, she asks instead if she can join him. Aragorn refuses—reminding her that she promised King Théoden to serve as the people’s leader until his return.

The emergence of Hattie the Indefatigable:

Merry greets King Théoden at the ruined gates: ‘Welcome, my lords, to Isengard!’ Gandalf leads the king away to meet the Ents. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli sit down with Merry and Pippin. They share lunch, stories, and a welcome smoke of Longbottom Leaf (for all but the Elf).

Sumerlands is a very good metal band. That's it, that's the skeet. sumerlands.bandcamp.com/album/dreamk...

Perfektes Wetter für einen Metal Health Spaziergang 🤘🏻🎶 (Idee ist aus einem Vertipper entstanden und ihr wisst ja, wie sehr ich flache Wortspiele mag 😄).

Die gute Nachricht des Tages ist diese: #phoenix, mein tapferer kleiner Spartenkanal, wird auch zukünftig linear senden und das wie gewohnt mit dem Schwerpunkt #Politik- und #Parlamentsberichterstattung! Danke an alle, die sich für uns eingesetzt und engagiert haben. Bleibt uns kritisch gewogen!

Ich hab da ja mal so nen lukewarm Take-Video zur Verbindung "AI-Art" und Angst aufgenommen. Leider hab ich einfach keine Zeit&Energy mehr, um Videos zu produzieren, aber der Ausflug hat Spaß gemacht. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZcf...

The Second Battle of the Fords of Isen ends: Grimbold and his men are forced to abandon the Fords, leaving Rohan open to invasion. He himself is surrounded—but forms a shield-wall, breaks out thanks to a few of his men on horseback, and starts retreating southward in the dark.

Mini of the month - what’s wrong with you? Entry 11 by @grumpykiltpin.bsky.social WTF is Wrong With You, Brother? When I said we were Terror Troops, this is not what I meant. #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth #JHBackdrops

The early medieval burial from Gammertingen, 6th century AD. The high-ranking warrior died in his early 30s and was buried with a Byzantine helmet (a so-called Spangenhelm), his weapons, and his mail armour, which consisted of about 45,000 iron rings! 📷Landesmuseum Württemberg 🏺

Der Video-Streaming-Dienst der kommunalen Bibliotheken ist noch viel zu wenigen bekannt, oder? Zu unrecht. Guckst du! 📺 👇

Deezer sends me down a rabbit hole of 70s / 80s cover songs by obscure (at least to me) power metal bands. And that's just because I'm a little bit fond of Rage's (not ratm) cover of Paint it, Black (XIII, 1998).

Dieses Buch hätte mir gerade fast ein blaues Auge geschlagen weil es mir beim Umräumen ins Gesicht gefallen ist.

Éomer, fearing that Mordor and Isengard are now in league, leads his éored north—without permission from King Théoden—to pursue the Orc-band that’s been seen running from the Emyn Muil towards Fangorn Forest.

Too little, too late, my liege.

Aragorn reaches the top of Amon Hen. He can see little from the high seat. But he hears Orcs, and the sudden clear call of a horn. ‘The horn of Boromir! He is in need! An ill fate is on me this day, and all that I do goes amiss. Where is Sam?’ He races back downhill.

Strider runs uphill, hoping to look out from the high seat of Amon Hen. Sam stops to think: where is Frodo? ‘He can’t fly across rivers, and he can’t jump waterfalls. He’s got no gear. So he’s got to get back to the boats. Back to the boats!’ Sam turns and races back downhill.

This is basically Dark Forest's "Oak, Ash & Thorn" - the Campaign. #SilverBayonet

Am 22.02.1943 wurden Sophie Scholl Hans Scholl Christoph Probst in Stadelheim hingerichtet. Vor ihrem Beispiel gebenden Widerstand, Mut und ihrer Zivilcourage hatten die Nazis solche Angst, dass sie sie sofort nach dem Schauprozess am gleichen Tag aus dem Weg räumen ließen. Niemals vergessen.

As the Company are packing, the Elves bring them not only lembas but also grey elven-cloaks—woven by the Lady and her maidens. They are the first garments of Lórien ever given to strangers. The Company start walking the ten miles south to where their new boats are waiting.
