I know exactly what you mean. Cognitively, I get that such evil and scumbaggery not only exists but is much more deeply-rooted in humanity than we normally (want to) acknowledge; emotionally, though, it's just such a difficult thing to process and fundamentally I just don't want to accept its existence. /sigh

You're thinking of Lukewarm Lincoln from LinkedIn.

SkyAtlantic in the UK just released a few more GoT promo videos. Countdown to each of them getting their own GJI articles in three… two… one…

I guess it's possible, but I can't imagine that people weren't using the abbreviated form well before then.

Also, they atrribute "deconstruct" and "deconstruction" to '73 which has to be wrong. Derrida's Of Grammatology was 1967 and I know (a) it didn't take 6 years for it to be translated into English and (b) English-language academics were using those terms well-before '73.

One of the words for '73 was "C-section" which seems really, really odd, considering (a) that seems way too late; and (b) I was born by C-section in '73.

Upvoted for "and her boobs…" /LOL

Quite a lot have over the years. Leonardo DiCaprio, Roddy McDowall, Mickey Rooney (before age really started getting to him), the Astin boys (Sean and Mackenzie), the Bateman kids (Jason and Justine), the Jackies (Cooper and Coogan), Ron Howard, Clint Howard, Abigail Breslin, Jeff Bridges, Kurt Russell, Jodie Foster….

Er, uh, no. The blather Tr*mp spouted during his statement today was a sop to shut people up and nothing more — and something which he contradicted not even two hours later by suggesting he may pardon Sheriff Joe Arpaio. That's only slightly less obvious than if he's shouted through a megaphone to his racist,

And with that 1 million new jobs horseshit….

:-) I tried to find a link to the scene, but I couldn't find one, sadly.

Then, not even two hours later, he goes on F*X and says that he's considering pardoning Joe Arpaio.

There also seems to be a fair amount of shade aimed at Finn Jones, almost personally, which I think isn't quite fair. After all, Buck and his Buckaroos couldn't be bothered to settle on a consistent sense of Danny Rand's character, so no wonder Jones couldn't quite get a complete or integrated sense of how to handle

There does seem to be a perpetual snide on Iron Fist to make sure it gets bashed at every opportunity. After all, how many digs got taken in this review alone? Yes, it's a flawed show, in many ways very flawed, though that had to be expected as soon as Scott Buck got attached to it. But the relentless digs do seem

Not weird at all — and, in fact, a pretty huge mistake on the part of the reviewer which even a basic Google search would have remedied.

Yes, but I doubt we'll see him again.

She needed to punish Dad Tarly; she didn't need to punish Dickon— well, at least not with death. She could have given force to her previous words by burning the father and pardoning (from death) the son. It was clear Dickon was simply following his father's sense of honour and not acting strictly out of opposition

True, true. But it is weird when you can find ones written both before and after it.

FWIW, it doesn't help that Disqus often makes it impossible to see some comments. I know I made one earlier which I just couldn't find again, even after going through all of the comments Disqus will bring to the screen (yes, even after endlessly "load more comments"-ing).

Simple: she could have punished Poppa Tarly and simply imprisoned Dickon Tarly — a show of resolve in the first, a show of grace (like that she promised the Lannister troops) with the latter. Wasn't that uncommon in the Middle Ages to do things like that. But the writers, I think, buggered that up because they're
