Ehh, Jaime loves his sister and is trying to make it work, y'know? His motives and thoughts aren't always clear in the show, but he's clearly come around to wanting to be better, rather than just the Kingslayer who doesn't care what anyone thinks. He doesn't feel the enormity of shame that the Hound does, but he's not

I thought a friend was joking when he said it was under 2 hours. I was still skeptical after he sent me a link with the runtime.

The TED talks are great. Really funny stuff with a good range of their humor.

And amazing power move by the boys. On Tuesday they take "I Was There Me Too" for themselves, and on Wednesday the podcast is part of a Jeopardy question.

It stinks.

Why is HanAssholeSolo responsible for these people's threats? You don't see that you're calling for him to suffer out of spite and hate? But you recognize that publicizing his name will lead to severe harms against him, so that's a start.

Now I will make a playground taunt: you're being intentionally obtuse and dense. There is a very specific, very well known conspiracy theory that I am calling bunk. You've said it's obviously true, by pointing to evidence that does not advance the theory. This is not a complicated disagreement.

And that did not actually stop funding until 1985. But fair point.

Should I take that as a no? As far as I've read in the past, this narrative of active CIA involvement traces solely to Webb's largely discredited expose series. If I had missed some critical sources, I'd certainly like to know about them.

A day later, still haven't answered the question.

I'm not, you're just not understanding or misrepresenting what I'm saying. Stick to the question in my previous post. I did not ask it rhetorically.

You… you did use an example that is defacing property…

So we agree that this story amounts to "BREAKING: Private citizen is embarrassed of social media posts." If you think that's of public interest and worthwhile journalism, the conversation has reached its end.

I agree, in that it's clumsy because it looks like blackmail.

What does "behind it" mean? Because I don't think what I've said qualifies. I don't think what you've said here qualifies, either. And my understanding from reviews is that this show leans hard on the idea that the CIA and Contras in Nicaragua were desperate for funding and turned to cocaine, in 1984. I say nuts to

Just so we're all clear, remember that extortion usually involves the extortioner threatening to do something he is otherwise perfectly free to do. CNN is free to broadcast this guy's name 24/7. I'm free to shout from the rooftops the incriminating information I discovered about someone else. It's all information I am

No one's talking about sending him to jail.

Yes, I am assuming that the redditor posting stupid pics under the name HansAssholeSolo is not connected to power. The same assumption every outfit, including CNN, has made about similar users in the past that have been retweeted by Trump. I see no reason to think he is anybody worth investigating, unless people are

Some Contra affiliates trafficked drugs to raise money, as did other outfits in the region of all ideological stripes (Kerry report). That does not mean the CIA made them do it, promoted it, designed it, or facilitated it beyond looking the other way (Noriega).

The Guardian already accomplished that when they found HAS's reddit account and his other postings. CNN had to dig further to find the person behind the stupid name, because… somehow that's in the public interest.
