When my in-laws got divorced in Maryland, my father-in-law tried to get his ex to pay for his lawyers, claiming she was the one with more money so she should have to. He was the one who filed for divorce, and he was cheating on his wife, so they laughed his ass out of there on that one. He had a good paying job, and…

Season finale is the perfect way to frame this. There was a point in the middle of the movie where I thought to myself, “this movie would have made an excellent Netflix original season.”

There’s also an episode of the Behind the Bastards podcast on Raniere that does a deep dive into his life. Spoiler alert: he’s always been a liar, a scam artist, and a predator. 

Where I live, Oakland, there are thousands of people living openly in tents on the street corners, and have for years. These people literally don’t have a pot to piss in, and it’s not just Oakland, it’s everywhere these days.

George RR Martin has said that Tyrion is his favorite character, so I could totally see him acting as the stand-in for the author.

My husband’s had a beard for a few years now— at first I thought it was weird, but I got used to it, and now when I see pictures of him pre-facial hair, he looks SO different (he has a baby face, so he looks super young clean-shaven). I doubt he’ll be shaving it off fully any time soon, because it took ages to grow…

Prince was doing this for years. I saw him in 2015 and people were escorted out for taking pictures. I get wanting to get a few pictures— I usually do at most shows— but I hate when people are holding their phones up the majority of the time, taking video and immediately posting and stuff like that.  

And don’t forget Tony’s “prima notca” rape joke! A lot of this movie was a good reminder to me of how poorly Whedon’s work has held up for me. 

Does Bran just sit around waiting for people to walk by?

Ugh, I used to pass him a lot cutting through Farragut Square on my way to work. I always gave him the stink eye. Fucking goblin.

I went to Target the other day and the women’s clothing section was straight out of Delia’s— and I AM HERE FOR IT. My mom wouldn’t let me buy most of the late 90s fashion I wanted the first time around, so I fully intend to make up for lost time.

EXACTLY. I was on a work trip last month when my uncle died. When I explained this to my boss, she expressed her sympathies, and asked me if I would like a hug. I declined, and she was cool with it. And honestly, the fact that she asked first touched me so fucking deeply I almost started crying (again) then and there.

When I was in my early 20s, I got a crappy job at a law firm because my friend’s sister was the office manager there. One of the senior partners was a touchy guy, and one night I was working late, and he came up behind me while I was standing at the copy machine and started rubbing my shoulders. I was so uncomfortable…

He should regret falling in love with Tim Burton more. 

Harford County is trash. It’s where white Marylanders go when Baltimore County isn’t racist enough for them, and they don’t want to move all the way out to Western Maryland, or across the Bay Bridge to the Eastern Shore. 

Someone made a list like this about girls in my high school, and then literally posted it around town and in the school (it was the late 90s), and no one ever got in trouble for it. As far as I can tell, the school didn’t even try to figure out who it was, and took the super brave stance of pretending it never…

Thor plus Rocket was my favorite “odd couple” of the movie. I would be 100% behind replacing Quill with Thor on one condition: we also add, Valkyrie, Guardian of the Galaxy!

I’ve seen some articles that were written in the wake of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain’s deaths popping up again, and they make some really good points about why we should change the way we talk about suicide, and how to do it. 

Good point. Must be that Big Mohawk Energy that attracted Gaga.
