Beg your pardon, but there was not a groundhog consensus. Woodstock Willie in Illinois predicted a late spring. 

I found Bronn’s scene with the sex workers to be more of a satire on the show’s “sexposition” of previous seasons. Yes, the naked ladies are providing exposition, but it is exposition that no one other than those characters care about (Poor Wylliam and his burnt face!). Also, the dark, empty space of the formerly…

I’ve just started reading this book, and I am already impressed by Hallie Rubenhold’s scholarship and storytelling. Her empathy for these women especially and the working poor generally is so refreshing.

I’m still waiting for Aunt Lydia’s backstory.

“I also had a weird crush on Trent Lane.”

These guys need to watch some better cartoons.

Both play a role. Scientists call is “domestication syndrome”. Domesticated dogs (as well as other animals) have lower amounts of neural crest cells that govern the release adrenaline then do their wild cousins. The amount of these cells even varies among different domesticated breeds. In some breeds, high amount of…

I already have that. It’s called a cairn terrier.

Here is what really burns me about the insensitivity of Donald Trump during the visit of the Code Talkers:

As someone with a family legend that says I am descended from a selkie, I approve this message.

Is it possible Cersei needs Tyrion because he brokered a side deal with her to get her support against the Night’s King? Seems there were some negotiations we did not see on screen.

True, but her father was an American citizen living in Thailand at the time. That makes her a natural-born citizen under the most widespread interpretation of the Constitution. She is as eligible to run as Ted Cruz and John McCain.

Anyone else think Cersei is just starting menopause? She may be a little young for it, but it was not uncommon for doctors in the late Medieval/Ren. period to mistake the early onset of menopause for a pregnancy. Also, it could be indicative of another medical problem, like the false pregnancy of Mary I of England.

Channel 4 did a documentary on Princess Alice (Philip’s mother). Like many women, she was ground about in the gears of early 20th Century mental health care, when all she probably needed was for her family to be more considerate of the fact she was deaf. After that, she devoted her life to charity work. She also…

I’m just going to leave the job of responding to this to our Uncle George.

“... there was another famous one I can’t remember right now.”

Before the latter half of the 20th century, the common belief was that life began when the body started breathing on its own. For instance, Jewish belief holds that the soul does not enter the body until the first breath is drawn, and Jewish law holds that the unborn baby is not entitled to human rights until its head…

I have been to that particular Dairy Queen. While I have not witnessed any acts of outright racism, I can say the owner is a jerk of the first order. I have seen him pacing around the place, glaring and growling at his (mostly) teenaged staff. I stopped going there after an incident with my disabled roommate. She…

It was a joke. And thank you so much for prejudging me and my dog. You know as little about me and my dog as I know about you and your family. I don’t know where you got that chip on your shoulder, but please don’t dump it on me or anyone else.

It’s called “sarcasm”. Look it up.
