Tolkien fought in the Battle of the Somme. He saw the horrors of war, and the moments of bravery and fear within it up close.
And after all that. ALL that. He wrote Lord of the Rings. He declared true bravery and masculinity to be love, friendship and humbleness.
Musk is everything he hated.

I'm watching Spain vs Germany in the women's Euros. Spain decided to go to war so they subbed on Athena. Germany's response was to add some magic by bringing on Cerci. I'm hoping the teams have players called Hera and Artemis to bring on later.
