It’s great when dystopic defense contractors take names from the things I love! Palmer Luckey started one called Anduril, and I just can’t tell you how much I love these fucking shits co-opting Tolkien’s words in their endeavors to profit on oppression and murder.

Tolkien estate usually doesn’t like their words used in random products. Sometimes I think they’re bordering on control freaks, but in that particular case, yeah, nuking that shit and forcing them to change their name wouldn’t seem unreasonable to me.
If they’re not aware of it, maybe someone should tip them.

Unless you do it yourself right now, no one will.
