Amazing.  It’s almost like Dany was being built up as a savior this entire time only for her to fall into the madness of absolute power in a deliberate deflation of the standard savior trope in fantasy novels.  It’s like GRRM delights in dashing readers’ hopes and dreams.

GRRM is going to die and leave behind a bunch of half-finished ideas.  At best, some time years or decades from now, another author will finish those ideas.  Personally, i’m not holding my breath.

At this point, we already know (thanks to the show) that probably 90% of one entire book is pointless and that dozens of fan theories out there are wrong. We don’t care about the red herrings after they’ve rotted on the platter waiting for you to present them to us. The fact that Lady Stonyheart, Young Griff and all…

This isn’t too dissimilar to GDPR, it would be pretty simple for most companies to implement it.  Basically just turn on GDPR controls for US customers.

I know, I mean he’s paying her well!

There’s a theory that it was a fake made, not as a joke, but as a way to fool people (making books in the 15th century was incredibly expensive).  Essentially a way for someone claiming to be a mage or an alchemist to read from a “magic tome” to find answers to a mark’s problems.

As much as Theranos is a classic example of similar bullshit, at least she didn’t lie about things besides the fact that her company didn’t have a product.

This wouldn’t be such a problem if Facebook didn’t recommend “content”. If I accidentally click on one of my relatives dumb hate or conspiracy bullshit videos, I’m going to get ads on Facebook and other sites for similar bullshit for days, even when I flag it as inappropriate.  Maybe if Facebook actually regulated and…

I mean...that’s kinda the not so secret secret of horse racing in America isn’t it? For the rich people it’s about funny hats and dressing up in pastel suits like it’s the 70's, but the real money is made on the local hicks who will lay down their last $100 on a horse they know nothing about while they’re blackout…

It is a succubus from the Witcher video game series.  You encounter a couple of them as I recall, I think this is the one from Witcher 2.

Erm...yes they do...it’s literally their job.

There is a solution: these towns will cease to exist.  Most only came about because of some sort of temporary manufacturing boom or because of white flight from cities.  They’re dying off as the trend towards increased urbanization continue.  There’s no fix here, other than realizing it is over.

A Deadspin post about MLS in which they aren’t shitting all over MLS?  Did I step through a portal into another dimension?

Interesting thing to note: Florida has a much higher standard for culpability for serving a drunk than most states.  Basically you need to know that they’re an alcoholic when you serve them; that’s why the lawyer’s statement is so heavy on emphasizing that they knew he was an alcoholic.  Honestly though, it’s a really…

It would help if Lil Rel was actually funny.

The last truly successful tech IPO of any note was Facebook, a platform that already had a huge audience and had made a ton of money. The last pharmaceutical IPO was last week, Milestone, in which they sold off only about 25% of their stock; at about the midway price they were looking for of $15/share. They raised…

I mean, anyone that has an understanding of the market knew Uber and Lyft’s IPOs were vastly overvalued. Investors like certainty and a history of making money in an IPO and the exact opposite is the case for Uber and Lyft. Neither company is making money, really they’re both hemorrhaging money for starters. Even…

It’s just a toddler man, one punch and he’s knocked out cold.  What’s the big deal?

There’s always been goofs like this in the show:
