Berlin Marathon this weekend - always the focus of record attempts.  Sadly no pan-European coverage - in  it's on a pay streaming service.       https://www.bmw-berlin-marathon.com/en/  

Gil Galad is probably the most underated character in this series, he appears a little and for saying nothing important, why Elrond will comand the forces and "the high king" dont?. Its bizarre really.

Hezbollah has confirmed the death of Nasrallah  Many Lebanese people celebrating on social media.   That's another war criminal gone. Haniyeh and Netanyahu next, please.

Looks like, for now  It's odd though, this morning I checked several different threads and it was 3 all the time. Anyhow, it seems to be normal now, basically  

I’ve never seen an appeal without cancelation of results. I wonder if they have done that because they know CAS won’t want to cause too much of a mess, 

WADA filed an appeal against Jannik Sinner, requesting a disqualification of one to two years, without cancellation of results.

So you see the politics thread with only 3 posts? I guess it's because 7 posts are from bestmen Are the other threads normal?

I doubt it, because it's suddenly on every thread     Edit: huh, here it's not now. I swear earlier this morning it was on all threads. It would certainly explain the politics thread only showing a handful of posts.

Where do you see that? I think the other 7 posts of the page might be from users you ignore?

To pass that pin, they could have done a hug. I think the whole scene seems made to arrive to the kiss (why is Gil-galad there but is not involved in treating? He should be the one to decide after all), so to cater to the romantic part of the audience (again, soap opera style) and to get negative reactions from who knows that it'd be sacrilege in this world.  As for the orcs, same as everything else - they want to add something revolutionary in that world but then immediately inconsistent. One scene orcs want to be loved, the next one savagely licking blood from knives (copied from LotR of course), then back to wanting love. It's like they didn't read the script they wrote.
