Both can be true, but Tywin’s opinion of Cesei’s intelligence (or lack thereof) was what you pointed out seemingly as a rejoinder to my saying that Cersei wasn’t stupid (contrary the article’s “cruel and stupid”) comment.

Tywin clearly underestimated what his children were capable of—which is why he died the way he did. 

Don't forget Cersei—she was evil as shit, but she wasn't stupid. 

Sure Rhaenys could have had Alicent and her son burnt to a crisp, but she certainly didn’t avoid bloodshed when her dragon burst through the floor killing hundreds of peasants. As for Alicent, sure she didn’t want Rhaenyra and her family murdered, but she did stage a coup that she absolutely had to have known was…

a U.S. district court and the Second Circuit ruled that her son had to be returned to his father in Italy because measures could, theoretically, be taken to reduce the risk of harm to the child—namely, the district court ruled, Saada could be required to go to therapy, drop criminal charges against Golan, and pay her…

Oh If I’ve learned anything since about 2016 it’s that sexism trumps all. Racism, homophobia, but misogyny runs the most rampant. Not just in the America’s but globally. I’ve been seeing it in many people in my life, even those I would not have expected. I know I’ve had to do some introspection and discovered some…

I’ve only listened to and watched the “Anti-Hero” music video, but it’s great. Good pop music, plus the interlude is hilarious - makes me wonder if Swift really liked Knives Out.

Jesus and pregnant teens are only props for people like DeSantis. The cruelty, power and adoration of rabid pious hatemongers are all he cares about.

Yeah, that great peace deal between Israel and Morocco.  That makes me feel so much safer.  If old Tangerine Idi Amin had gotten a second term, maybe Kushner would have worked up a peace deal between Israel and Papua-New Guinea or Israel and Singapore.  The world could have all lain down their arms and turned their…

You know, when people of good character step away from their party to take a stand, I usually pay attention. When Hyper-Republican Liz Cheney steps out on her own to slap DJT, that makes news. When Michael Bennet steps out to support fracking and the Keystone pipeline, I listen his point too. Not that I will end up…

Remember when Hillary Clinton called out someone as a Russian backed politico without naming names......and Tulsi delightfully proclaimed she wasn’t one when no one pointed fingers at her.

Trump literally hired a guy who has had a hard on for bombing Iran for 2 decades as his NSA. Then, predictably we were about 30 mins from bombing Iran.

Obama raised troop levels in the ME. Who put us there in the first place? Sending money to Ukraine. Can you name another situation under a Republican president where we gave aid and support to a country that was invaded by a foreign power? I sure can.

It’s the nature of the empire. Always has been.

Right, elite universities teach students to hate rich people. Visit Stanford, Harvard, U Chicago, Yale, Princeton, etc. and tell me that they all hate rich people.

My gripe with this guy is, when I hear the name Tesla, I think of this preening ass instead of the decent, gullible inventor.

I guess he’s right, whenever my students bring up Elon Musk I point out that for all that money he doesn’t seem like a happy person.

Ignoring the fact that communism isn’t actually being held up as a good thing in American schools, he seems pretty happy about Chinese communists building his cars! So good in fact that he suggested that capitalist, democratic Taiwan cede control to the Chinese communist party that has never ruled Taiwan for even a…

American neo-Marxists and their “takeover” of “elite schools and universities.”

For somebody who regards himself as extremely intelligent, Elon Musk is a surprisingly lazy thinker. Pronouns too hard! He might have to think about somebody other than himself! Oh, the suffering!
