On a tangential note - anyone know what Omarosa Manigault's been up to since the NABL?

True to form, it looks like the House GOP is doing their damnedest to just keep their heads down:

Cynical, but true.

I suppose there's no glory in establishing a moral highground against Nazis.

Since this weekend, I've been struggling to see past the obvious alt-right trolls emerging from the woodwork on social media to try and get a sense of how the Great Silent Center-Right has been taking this. I'm loathe to imagine the kinds of mind-boggling apologia stewing amidst the great mass of "I'm not racist, but…"…

Vandalized:

It's a lot of puzzle pieces to put together, but adding Jon's legitimacy to his Targaryen lineage is the kind of thing that unites pretty much all the threads of the show - from contention for the Iron Throne, to unifying Westeros to fend off the Walkers.

That's a good catch. It seems extra notable, given that Maester Ebrose went to such effort to point out that Sam yet hadn't been informed of Randyll and Dickon's crispiness.

Is it clear the Maester even knew she was pregnant? If they managed to conceal it from him - with both Rhaegar and Lyanna dead, one could imagine he'd decided there was no utility in piping up about their secret marriage.

I'm going to append an asterisk here. Not because I think you're fundamentally wrong, or coming at it from an inappropriate angle at all.

We can rely on socialized national healthcare systems for large populational cohort studies. As such, for >215000 births, supporting "Advanced maternal age is associated with a range of adverse pregnancy outcomes."

Y'all are right, not uncommon. Just greater risks.

Modern times, sure.

Well, you don't.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that even among the resources available to the Queen, medieval-grade medicine makes her current fertility questionable at best. To say nothing of her ability to carry a healthy baby to term.

Walkers, yes - but the sheer number of wights seem like they could use some brute, blunt force.

I had imagined I might not be the only viewer that bellowed, unrestrained, at his television, "GURL, at YOUR age?!"

I've always had him pegged more as Duke of Fuccboi.

A bit to do was made last episode of a throwaway line that the Tyrell gold had made it to King's Landing; it was all the Tyrell grain stores that were in the barbecued loot train.

I'm still surprised when Drogon lashed out at Dany the other season, she didn't rap 'im on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.
