Hey all. Just wanted to drop in here and give a very sincere thank you to everyone who’s read the piece and everyone who’s commented below. I had to kind of talk myself into writing this, for a number of reasons, but I’m glad I did, and I’m deeply moved by the responses here—by those of you sharing your own…

You’re wrong on almost every level. Chick-fil-A is a privately held company and its profits have been used, and almost certainly continue to be used, to support anti-LGBTQ causes. Dan Cathy isn’t just a hired-gun CEO; he and his family own the company.

Also, Melisandre will be the Deus ex machina towards the end of the next episode

After the Jamie Redemption Hour, my money is on him sacrificing himself. Possibly for Brienne, but since she already knows what he is, my guess someone new. I'm thinking his legacy is not Kingslayer but Queensavior. But after a redemption episode, he be dead.

Okay, but this episode is a classic for Brienne’s knighting alone. If you didn’t at least get choked up, there is no hope for you. You’ve been lost to the Night King.

The way she progressed from dismissal and nonchalance to facing what for her was the realization of a lifelong impossible dream - and letting herself be moved and happy about it - played out so well. She really knows that character, and she took us with her through so many emotions in such a short span of time. Just…

Oh yeah, you’re right. While he and Missandei were making their plans, I was mentally preparing for their deaths. Literally everyone else in the episode were discussing their impending deaths, meanwhile these two are talking about spending time at the beach. Maybe it’s great that they are so hopeful, but idk.

Listen, all those characters, spare 3 or 4, will be dead in a week or two. Let’s enjoy every moment we have left with them, please?

Brienne’s knighting was the highlight of this episode, it moved me to tears. It struck the right tone and it was such a meaningful way to reward her. Gwendoline Christie played it beautifully. I just hope it wasn’t done to soften the blow of her death in the battle to come. *Shudder*

I loved it. It was full of perfect character beats, and no less than two moments that made me get teary-eyed. The perfect set-up for next week.

Sounds like they agreed to drop the charges in exchange for keeping his bond money. My hunch as a lawyer is that it probably would have cost the city a fortune in resources to prosecute this case and it was a strategic decision.

I am completely clueless as to what this means as far as the truth of the allegations.…

Ha. The only part of a seder Meghan McCain could play is the bitter herb.

Wow, Mr. Roth doing an antisemitism by not mentioning her frequent invocation of that traditional Jewish prayer, “I am John McCain’s daughter.”

Eh, I’ll give Bregman a pass for the sheer joy of seeing Tucker Carlson losing his shit.

Is your “/S” missing?

I’ve got a feeling the driver has short cropped blonde hair, asks to speak to the manager all the time and is named Susan, Karen or Linda.

What you see here hinges on whether you believe that “Make America Great Again” is a dog whistle meant to unite racists, misogynists, and homophobes under one umbrella, or you’re delusional and don’t care about people who aren’t white men.

careful, thats not the kid. I’m all for this spunktrumpet publicly having to account for his behavior, ideally on national broadcast with an unfriendly host, ie not fox. Hes obviously not scared to show his face on camera after all, none of them are. But lets not be too quick to publicly shame and catch collateral…

It might not be him. People claiming to be Hodge family members are on Twitter saying Michael Hodge did not go on the D.C. trip and are pointing to the difference in teeth between the Michael Hodge in the apron and the abusive little MAGA youth in the video. Hope this can be cleared up quickly.

The thing is, Republicans respect The Grift. AOC thinks a person should be able to do honest work and get a livable wage. Republicans think that’s for suckers. The grift Owens pulled isn’t “fiscally irresponsible”, it’s “smart”. Remember
