Galadriel encounters Sauron 3/7

They are not children any more.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER // EP II.VIII

Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn ❤️

Just wanted to share some reassurance for the "Rings of Power" fans as I saw some getting worried about us still not having the official season 3 announcement though we've gotten so many things indicating that it has been and will start filming in early 2025. It's still on course for a 2026 premiere too and this goes along with some rumors that season 3 will be more of a political drama with less CGI, no battles planned (and if there is not to the scale of season 2), and that they did some budget cuts before season 2 aired due to normal long running shows doing this and Amazon Prime/MGM Studios doing layoffs back in January of this year.

The show hired writers from political shows like "The Crown" and "The Great". Those shows also filmed much faster and usually premiered yearly ("The Crown" only took longer breaks when they did the recasts every 2 years). The spoilers and hints we've gotten about the s3 storylines suggest they could film a lot of this faster and similar to those other political drama shows (even current ones like "The Diplomat" so far has been back to having yearly seasons again). We'll be getting more of Númenor's divide with the Faithful and the King's Men and their colonies in Middle Earth, Sauron recruiting the 9 men and their followers likely as King Halbrand again and at least 6 were from other parts of Middle Earth, the elves building Rivendell and banding against Sauron, Durin's brother coming back and liking fighting over their crown, and possibly seeing the other Ishtari joining Gandalf against the Dark Blue Wizard. All of these plots can be done like a normal political drama with using CGI when needed. Even if we're also right in the speculation that Galadriel and Sauron's bond is going to grow stronger from her stab wound, that too can be done without that much CGI and they can use more practical effects.

So all of this is pointing to them actually filming season 3 much faster than both s1 and s2. Season 2 took 9 months, but season 1 was longer due to the Covid break. That all still seems fine for the show still airing in the fall of 2026. Plus, the destruction of Númenor and Sauron actually being there again isn't supposed to happen till s4, so a more subdued season 3 makes sense too to build up to that.

huge carrot recall affecting canada and the united states, including puerto rico, due to shiga toxin-producing e. coli

november 16, 2024

this recall may expand. see below for details.

Grimmway Farms has issued a recall of select organic whole carrots and organic baby carrots that should no longer be in grocery stores but may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. These products may have been contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) O121:H19. E. coli O121:H19 is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and those with a weakened immune system. Some infections can cause severe bloody diarrhea conditions, such as a hemolytic uremic syndrome, or the development of high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, and neurologic problems. Symptoms include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea, and/or vomiting. The incubation period for E. coli O121:H19 in humans can range from 24 hours to as much as ten days. The average incubation period is 3 to 4 days.

The following recalled products were shipped directly to retail distribution centers nationwide in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada: - Organic whole carrots, which do not have a best-if-used-by date printed on the bag, but were available for purchase at retail stores from August 14 through October 23, 2024, - Organic baby carrots with best-if-used-by-dates ranging from September 11 through November 12, 2024.

formatting on tumblr is difficult, please see the FDA outbreak investigation page for the affected ranges of best-by dates for baby carrots, and pictures of the affected carrots.

as of time of posting, the main FDA recall page and the CDC investigation page have an error and do not list Kroger or LIDL baby carrots, while the FDA outbreak investigation page does. I am assuming that this means they are part of the recall and that this error will probably be fixed soon.

the recalled carrots are thought to be associated with an E. coli O121:H19 outbreak. 39 illnesses, 15 hospitalizations, and one death have been linked to this outbreak so far.

as always, these numbers are expected to be lower than the true number of illnesses and deaths, and will likely rise. not everyone seeks medical attention, and even when all testing and reporting procedures go as smoothly as possible, it can take weeks to officially link an illness to an outbreak.

noteworthy from the FDA investigation page:

FDA is working with the firm to determine the source of contamination and whether additional products are affected. This advisory will be updated as information becomes available.

in short, there is a possibility this contamination may affect more than just the recalled carrots. keep up to date with these pages to stay on top of this outbreak.

the recalled carrots are no longer on shelves. but if they are in your fridge or freezer, destroy or discard them and clean anything they may have touched.

do NOT eat these carrots! this strain of e. coli is dangerous and at least one person has died.

if you think you got sick in relation to this outbreak, please seek medical attention, even if just to get your illness officially associated with this outbreak.

Never say never when it comes to an update. More than a year later, but here is a Nicest Parts of Hell sequel fic chapter. Thanks for the questions about if this would come back! I intend to have it finished by Christmas since that will fulfill the anti-Hallmark vibes of this monstrosity.
