I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s forgotten who a lot of people are. Mental health doesn’t seem to be his strong suit.

This is a really good example of what’s wrong with liberal identity politics. Essentially, when it comes down to her beef with Kanye West, she’s wrong because she’s white and he’s black. If she were a black artist going after Kanye, you’d be celebrating her. But she’s not, so she’s “problematic”.

Sure. I don’t doubt that “look what you made me do” is a defense used by domestic abusers to rationalize what they’ve done. That said, as you indicate, it’s only one use of the phrase. There are countless other contexts when someone could say “look what you made me do”. There’s nothing intrinsically tying it to…

What’s the connection to domestic violence? It seems like a (stupid) song about her getting about at her (largely imagined) enemies. I don’t see the connection to domestic violence, and yes, I think you are reaching.

1) Their plan literally consisted of them jumping on top of the damn thing. If it was their plan from the start, it wasn’t a very good plan. You’re going to go all that way, and can’t be bothered to think of something that doesn’t rest almost entirely on luck? Kinda ridiculous. (Good thing it’s the only one that…

what’s a book wanker? you jack off books? you jack off to books? you jack off on books? that’s weird man.

Emphasis on “the general gist of it”. I bet the show and books only have the huge plot points in common at this point (like who lives/dies and who ends up on the iron throne).

Yeah, this episode was super dumb. I hope this isn’t how all of the remaining episodes aren’t going to be. It’s like Benioff and Weiss are fast forwarding through the conclusion because they want to move on.

He looks like a younger version of Bale from the Terminator movie he did.

Robert wasn’t really a bad guy. He was just a bad king.

I assume you also apply this thinking to Islamic fundamentalism and Islamic terrorism.

Nah...Jaime killing her would be so much more poetic than Arya or Tyrion.

It’s medieval warfare (with a dragon). I don’t know what you expect.

It’s because people are dumb. Life has made a lot more sense since I’ve started keeping that in mind.

“At any rate: that is dumb as fuck? Like, really lazy writing.”
 

Why exactly do you say that? It’s not like criminal punishments are routinely harsher in the US than in Europe...oh wait, they are.

Has anyone pointed out that two of the creators of Confederate are black?

that’s worth a star.

“uh, like, wouldn’t jezebel publish about 30 essays on cultural appropriation if nonindigenous folks started learning and using these languages more than native/culturally-connects speakers.”

I think there’s a big different between the douchebaggery you’re talking about and thinking that PETA just isn’t that great of an animal welfare organization, even if the cause itself is great.
