This confirms the prophecy that was foretold right now by me

He’s written a lot, it’s just that it’s 2,872 pages of descriptions of meals, clothing, heraldry, and chapters about viewpoint characters who have nothing to do with the main story, including a Braavosi certified accountant and some guy named Steve.

Moon tea. Fuck that little embryonic shit.

I wanted to watch her stab him in the heart

I was freaking out when Tormund was fighting that guy. I actually told my husband “he can’t die, he hasn’t slept with Brienne yet”. This whole episode Tormund was cracking me up, I was very concerned he wasn't gonna make it.

I was including force multiplier.

You catch it from tampons.

“My next song explores how profoundly unfair it is that black people can use the n-word, and I can’t.”

And the difference between “infer” and “imply”

He claims it’s because of death threats. Is it true? Unknown.

That sounds low to me. I demand a recount.

It could be much worse than you suspect. He may have about 500 pages worth of sumptuous banquets, elaborate silken brocades, repeated character tics, travel scenes, and florid equivocation, all sprouting adjectives like one of those mushroom farms that comes in a box, without even a single plot point worth mentioning.…

Nah, he’s got pages.

I think there’s a difference between viewing children as an object one possesses and believing that a prepubescent child doesn’t have the right to absolute privacy. What does that even mean for children? “Where did you go after school today?” “None of your business!” “I’d like to speak to Casey’s mother about this…

I really wouldn’t call monitoring the activities of prepubescent children “spying.” I’d call it “parenting.” And some common sense applies. It’s not necessary to read your 10 year old child’s diary. It’s a good idea to know what websites your grade schooler is looking at while you’re busy with dinner. Etc.

Yeah, and I went through this already with my 15-year-old, and that approach didn’t work. He’s a bright, responsible kid, and he had all the education at school about online safety and talks with me and my wife about how to behave, so I trusted him and didn’t spy on him for a long while.

As a parent, you can try to cover as many topics as possible, but there is always something you missed. And kids see and do way more than you can cover.

It took me a while to realize that a borderline-autistic lack of social awareness was the only thing that kept me sane during childhood.

The Republican candidates are disingenuous shit-slingers. Do we really want to behave the same way?

Dear WB,
