@earthshine I would, oddly, be more sympathetic to a company called Eye Of Sauron LLC, than I am to Palantir I'd feel like EOS were the sort of baddies that call a shovel a shovel.

I'm guessing the Anduril crowd were told they were fighting Orcs, which is a derogatory term for Russian soldiers that came into common parlance after various rather monstrous practices were revealed on their part circa 2022. Just a guess, though.

Anyway, the weird thing is that I don't think LoTR enters public domain until circa 2050, so I don't see why they haven't been told to change their names yet. I'd chip in for a case against Palantir just to damage their share price.

Had a very rough month involving a very painful decision, which I'm not comfortable sharing so publically, so hence the radio silence. Instead, here are some recent positives. Not pictured was finding a bird nest of blackbirds in my yard, I did not want to disturb them.

They would have used the expression “prepare to loose” as “fire” applies to firearms, not bows

My ret-constellation for the #constellation #sagitta was to align it with a modern archer (rather than random assorted Hercules stories or an Apollo killing cyclops story) -- some options I considered:

Kate Bishop Hawkeye
Merida from Brave
Robin Hood

... but ultimately, who would be better than Legolas?!
