Another social media, another intro. I’m Jared. I make RPGs, write about motorbike racing and fix servers for a living. You may know me from the other social medias.

The best thing about opinions like this is that it isn't the magic rings, the elves, the orcs, the speaking trees that the poster is complaining about. No, it is because Tolkien disrespected geology.

Tolkein should have made the border mountains of Mordor more naturally curved, rather than at right angles. I don't care if plate tectonics weren't discovered when he wrote his books.

step 1: hire an elite team of international acrobats, engineers, and hackers
step 2: those guys are out of budget. find antoine and guillaume from secondary school
step 3: contract a high tech surveillance package and van. buy knock-out darts for the guards
step 4: too expensive. borrow a big ladder

Spectacular robbery of the French crown jewels at the Louvre today: three masked men climbed a ladder, broke a window, lifted nine priceless pieces from the Apollo gallery, got away on motorbikes. No one hurt.
Reportedly the most famous piece in the room, the 140 carat Regent diamond, was not taken.

Jonathan Rea’s superlative World Superbike retirement has arrived one race early. He won’t be taking part in race two as he suffered a right knee sprain and contusion in his turn four crash in today’s incident-packed Superpole race.

I’ve been writing about and photographing him for fifteen years.

You’re right. The commentators got it wrong too.

You might be right. I was distracted by what happened immediately after. Let me go check.

Are you suggesting we all make shitty Sora videos to cost them money? Shame it’s not available here yet. ☠️

It’s the last World Superbike race weekend of the year and the title will be decided tomorrow. It’s a pretty safe bet that Toprak Razgatlioglu will claim the title before heading off to MotoGP, but it’s not absolutely certain.

Toprak Razgatlioglu, Donington Park, 2025.
