This week, in the Arizona fake electors case, Rudy Giuliani was arrested by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, had his mug shot taken, and is now out on a USD 10,000 bond.
As Trump told his voters, “I have all the best people”.
I'm not a fan of the idea of a new #LOTR movie. The proposed plot isn't awful as long as they have access to Unfinished Tales material, but either they're going to have to re-cast characters whose actors I felt portrayed them perfectly in the past, or use CGI to de-age them and I'm not a big fan of either option.
Between the two I'd prefer them to re-cast characters, though.

I like the novel Dune more than I do LotR, and I think the latest Dune adaptation (both movies taken as a whole) are excellent, and mostly faithful to the book.
But the LotR movies, while admittedly taking a lot of liberties, are so monumental and innovative that they still eclipse the cinematic Dune.
That said, Zendaya probably deserves a nomination next year, for playing Chani in part 2.
Today's joke, coming out of the question 'Do orcs just think Bilbo's sword always glows?'
"Gorthak, is your spyglass working?"
"It is, and I see the halfling! I recognize the sword, but-"
"But what?"
"But it's not glowing."
"Bullshit. The sword always glows."
"Not this time it doesn't."
"No, no, it can't be the halfling, then. The halfling's sword glows. We've established this. We know this. The sword glows, it's the halfling."
"Well, I'm telling you, the sword is not glowing."
"Listen, Throgar, I am not here for your bullshit today. If the sword is not glowing, it's a different halfling."
"And I'm telling you it is the halfling, and his sword is not glowing."
"Why wouldn't his sword be glowing, then, Throgar? Tell me that."
"I don't know. Maybe he turns it off. The glow keeps him up at night."
"Keeps him up at night? How would he stop it from glowing?"
"Maybe he turns it off."
"HOW WOULD HE TURN IT OFF!?"
"Elf magic."
"Elf. Magic. Throgar, do you even listen to yourself sometimes? Pfft. 'Turns it off.' Next thing you're going to tell me is that Bombadil asshole put on Sauron's ring, thought it was neat, and handed it back..."
