Seriously though, what is his secret of attraction? I myself am drawn to brains and humor over looks, he may have that. It may be the power thing... I just don’t get it when I look at him? Sometimes he looks like her uncle standing around holding her coat or something. And he’s the object of so many lust infused…

I thought early Rome was way more “shocking” in terms of nudity than GOT.

I don't think they've watched the show. That's the kind of cardboard cranky opinion someone has after years of seeing articles and missing out on water cooler conversations.

Ding ding ding ding. Grrm’s talents lie in world building, not in the hard writerly work of crafting an excellent story.

I cried, too! His voice is so magnificent, I wasn’t even mad when he started sing-talking during another episode. Usually sing-talking is a major deal breaker for me but if I had his voice id sing-talk all day long.

Ty. I traded living in The Bane (which proudly calls itself the biggest country town barf) for living in the Byron Shire hinterlands. I wake up to panoramic views of the rainforest and never see any Queenslanders thank god. And God’s own beaches are nearby. It was worth having to live in qld first.

I lived there for seven years and you’re truly being too kind. With the time being behind, it’s insane. I live in NSW now and we have daylight savings. Cross the (north south) border into QLD, and the time changes! It’s not even east-west, it makes no sense. I’ve had more than one old Queensland lady say things to me…

His “females” are always wearing the same colors when they go out. I have a theory that Cruz needs to do that so he can tell which humans are his humans. Maybe he's face-blind. I have to wonder if he has some kind of high functioning autism, little things like that combined with his tone deafness and weird face make…

I did, but I'm the only kid I know who grew up that way and rejected it. I was always academically inclined and got scholarships to go to college, I mean, to Libtard Training Camp tm. ;)

There’s a meditation on death I like to do when I feel very dark inside... It’s a Corpse meditation, the one where I picture the slow decay of my mortal body. It sounds really awful but it really helps me find perspective on whatever is making me dark, it's among the most potent meditations I do.

I have a dream of starting a tree pod sacred forest. A large protected site where every tree was a person, with a sign next to it to say what kind of tree it is, and information about the person. Could also be a site for other special occasions, like weddings... A sort of ancestor-wood...

You are right. UT grad here... It does have that nice vibe but there is soooooo much sketchiness in Austin, too. I lived on campus and in west and north campus while I went to school there. I was robbed several times, and stalked by a homeless guy who *looked* like a geeky engineering student type. He spotted me…

I remember that. At the time my best friends lived down the street from where that party happened... We didn't party in riverside anymore after that.

You know, there are some really great Gothic Revival tiny/small house plans out there. 1000-1700 sq ft..https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/go… . This one is my favorite, left to my own devices id build it in the middle of the woods and be sure to paint it to look very much like the witch’s gingerbread…

Well, she seems to be the type of scum who thinks rape victims get lots of money for speaking out (?). Which is crazy but it’s a thing terrible ppl seem to believe. So for kesha to “get what she wants” but say no to preserve her personal integrity (go kesha! I never knew you before but I'm a fan now), well, that…

Don’t forget/underestimate the historical cultural influence of Christianity. The bible hates women (come at me if you must, I grew up in the church and with the curse of eve hanging over my damn head). The religion is engrained in our culture, like dirt ground into the pores and cracks and crevices in the hands of a…

Not quite yet... Could be the darkness before a dawn.

This is pretty much a black mirror episode.. The foul mouthed blue puppet thing... Except this one is orange and has no larger point or creed. Or maybe Trump’s whole thing IS performance art meant to expose the rotten core of our so called democracy...

My husband has been to Borneo several times over the decade to work at an ecological station in the jungle... The first time he came back and was telling me about palm oil plantations, the way the jungle is clear cut and destroyed to make these sterile farms for oil, he was so upset he could hardly growl-choke the…

Used to do that as a barista!
