Tolkien's reflection on Frodo's failure to destroy the Ring will always live with me. "Frodo undertook his quest out of love – to save the world he knew from disaster at his own expense, if he could; and also in complete humility, acknowledging that he was wholly inadequate to the task. His real contract was only to do what he could, to try to find a way, and to go as far on the road as his strength of mind and body allowed. He did that. I do not myself see that the breaking of his mind and will under demonic pressure after torment was any more a moral failure than the breaking of his body would have been – say, by being strangled by Gollum, or crushed by a falling rock."

Rewatching Avengers: Infinity War. I was never a huge fan but it's actually amazing how stupid it is.

I have in the past watched entertainment that depicted a man in front of a mobile rack of amps, wearing his mother's face while playing a flame throwing guitar and thought, "That is metal." I must admit, he now falls short. x.com/JeremiahDJohns/status/…

Just once in my life I would like to look as badass as this Iranian chick

Huh. Take that, Grok! (I tried multiple times and Grok choked.)

I have to admit this pretty impressive, @grok. #grok I mean, I still think of you as basically a large order Markov chain, but still... Good job.

Watched #plur1bus. Loved it! In the past, I would have been annoyed at the stupidity of scientists making a space virus and infecting an array of animals with it but I remembered COVID.

Just finished #silo. I am amazed at how little sense it made. SPOILER. So they project a false image of a green world to people who walk outside? Why? Just so they clean? Why can’t maintenance do it? They establish you can go in and out and be protected.

More #silo spoilers. Why is 8 hours on backup power so terrifying? Why does the generator not have an off switch? Or a bypass for the steam? Do the writers think chemistry when introducing romance between characters is somehow passé?

What is the reason for no microscopes? Or elevators? How do they get heavy equipment from level to level? I guess I could go on. It was intriguing initially but it seemed to just give up on making sense around the third or fourth episode. There were moments but mostly meh.
