So Disney really is just gonna shit the bed with these Star Wars films.

A better turn would have been for Cersei to plant wildfire in targeted areas where Daenerys was likely to use her dragon fire, setting off a chain reaction killing civilians in King’s Landing, but making it look like Dany was responsible. I thought Cersei implied as much and that was the reason she was shielding

I have wasted a lot of time and emotional energy thinking about the way writers have failed Cersei. 

I HATE that they took a character who grew from an underestimated small player—moving pieces behind the scenes—to a ruthless leader and ended with her crying about her unborn child. The writers have always relied on her relationship to her children to humanize her and to develop her character, which is such a naive

Yeah, the knighting would have served the purpose. I thought it was fine when I thought he was going to kill Cersei, but now it seems like such a waste.

I straight up skipped his chapters in the books. So grim. So boring. 

I didn’t realize the entire first sentence was ruined by my autocorrect.

So many autocorrects: I think that one will start to pull ahead of the other... 

I’m even more weirded out by those calling for Bernie or Biden to commit to one term be ause of their age. Why are they putting their money in a candidate they don’t want in office for two terms? Their are younger progressive and centrist (and in between) candidates running, it makes no sense.

I think they one with start to put ahead of the other once the debates start. I’m so ready for it, I just hope Biden and Sanders don’t suck up all the time. 

Yeah, like anyone is surprised? 

A lot of time passes between election cycles so we should just sit on our thumbs until then? Strikes work, organizing works. When workers realize that, they can make change happen. We have to keep talking about this and supporting workers if we ever want things to improve. It’s going to take a lot longer if we wait

Companies absolutely should be expected to pay a living wage. Why are you ok with our tax money going to supplement companies that pay poverty wages?

People who are searching for work and desperate for any news of a job, terrified a temp agency will pass to the next person if we don’t get ahold of them immediately.

I grew up in bourbon country, so I’m familiar with the differences in tastes. The people I know who collect do it for the status, not to drink it. It sits on the shelf while they just continue drinking Maker’s Mark (but not one of the limited edition collectible bottles, those are just for looking at). To me it’s for

If Buttigieg is really the best candidate then he can probably survive people joking about his whiskey library. Nothing in this post is going to hurt his campaign. The only thing he really has to worry about is convincing people his experience as a mayor is enough and having some kind of plan outlined by the time the

Harris and Warren are better than the VP slot, they don’t deserve to be sidelined. 

I've seen him play lip service to certain Democratic issues without outlining any plans or specifics, which to me is the same as saying nothing. Until he starts putting out more concrete ideas he just doesn't stand out to me. He said we should just know what his values are, but I don't really get what his values are

On my way. 

This was a fantastic and fun article to read. Honestly, they’re like palate cleansers for what is going to be a long, hard campaign season full of actual hit pieces.
