And who knows how many brilliant non-white people have been lost to history?

I mostly miss io9 being it’s own site and not just a part of Gizmodo. I really hated that decision.

The North knows no Queen but the Queen in the North, whose name is Mormont:

Shireen was definitely great. Think of her entire life. She was basically kept a prisoner locked in a tower by her parents her whole life. Yet she saw joy and happiness.

I once had a conversation with a guy who was incredibly angry and offended that I liked the show, Girls. He went on and on about how awful it was, how puerile, how infantile, how idiotic these girls were, how selfish, and what bad acting the show produced. He couldn’t figure out why anyone would ever watch that show.…

I’m going to miss his voice.
