While more of a Melkor man myself, this sad--beep monochrome drawing of Annatar with menacing shadow of his true form Sauron is simply wonderful!

The One Ring inscription (Part 2)
Image 1 shows the second One Ring inscription Tolkien sent to the printer. But he was still unhappy with it. So he asked to send another one.
Image 2 shows the well know inscription as printed in books. The original art sent by Tolkien to the printer is lost.
The inadvertently changed tengwa is circled in blue. Tolkien became later aware of his mistake (before publication) but accepted it.
The One Ring inscription (Part 1)
The inscription on the One Ring is perhaps the best-known piece of Tengwar art (along with the Doors of Moria) that Tolkien conceived, but did you know that he made a mistake in trying to find a better style of calligraphy for it after sending it to the printer and being urged by everyone to finish the job?
_look for part 2_
Today marks the anniversary of the downfall of the Lord of the Rings (Sauron) and the fall of Barad-dûr
"In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret, a master ring, to control all others. And into this ring he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One ring to rule them all."
All shot using real lighting, figures and miniature sets.

Oh ja - #Sauron erweist sich auch via KI als feindseliger Dualist!
Weise & dialogisch-monistisch rät dagegen #Momo, digital inszeniert durch eine andere Studentin:

Wow, eine Studentin hat für die KI-Klausur einen #SauronGPT programmiert! Und dieser lehrt (nach einem höhnischen Lachen) u.a. über Konzern-#Neurohacking : „Überwinde die digitale Thymokratie, indem du nicht um Anerkennung kämpfst, sondern die Mechanismen kontrollierst, die sie verteilen – denn wahre Macht gehört nicht denen, die beklatscht werden, sondern denen, die entscheiden, wer Gehör findet.“
Würde sagen, Lern- & Reflektionsziele erreicht! 
Tech bros are getting less and less subtle each day.
"Silicon Valley start-up offering high-tech security and surveillance solutions for wealthy people's personal abodes-turned-fortresses [...] that's recently secured millions of dollars in funding, the Washington Post reports. And you know what it's called? We are not kidding: Sauron."

We can't make this stuff up: #tech companies #Palantir and #Anduril form fellowship for #AI adventures
Two tech businesses that were independently named after objects from #Tolkien 's The Lord of the Rings have formed a partnership – or should that be a fellowship?
Anduril and Palantir will work together to solve "two main problems that limit the adoption of AI for #nationalsecurity purposes."
Meanwhile, #Sauron secures funding. Really.

17/ Und jetzt kommt der Witz. Ich weiß sicher, wer der Böse ist in diesem ganzen Spiel!
Das ist das Kennzeichen des Werksschutzautos: #Sauron
Sauron ist untergegangen:
„Ob Saurons Geist nach der Vernichtung des Ringes und der Zerstörung von Barad-dûr wirklich überlebte, oder letztlich doch starb, wird nicht eindeutig berichtet. Es heißt lediglich, dass ein Schattengebilde, schwarz, undurchdringlich und blitzgekrönt emporstieg und den ganzen Himmel erfüllte: Gewaltig erhob es sich über die Welt und streckte ihnen eine große, drohende Hand entgegen, schreckenerregend, aber machtlos, denn während es noch über ihnen schwebte, wurde es von einem starken Wind erfasst, und es wurde weggeblasen und verging; und Stille trat ein.“

Ich fasse zusammen: Die Verantwortlichen sind die dümmsten Tolkienisten der Welt UND sie sind Marionetten derer, die keine guten Umweltziele haben.
