In the books, he’s actually only been the three-eyed-crow for about 50 years when Bran finds him. He’s Brynden “Bloodraven” Rivers, a legitimized Targaryen bastard, who was involved in the Blackfyre rebellions and sent to the wall as a result, where he became Lord Commander in 233 AC. He went on a ranging in 252 AC,…

As a German speaker, this was particularly painful:

Just like it’s “wildly offensive” for a Swedish guy to play a Russian, right?

I’m always genuinely confused when the ire is more on the cheated-on for having the temerity to say something about it in public, instead of the cheater who caused the hurt in the first place. 

I’m 6'3" and have never had a problem with the person in front of me reclining their seat. These people are psychos.

I’ve never had a problem with the person in front of me reclining their seat. Fuck you.

The discomfort of sitting straight the fuck up on an airplane is >>> than the discomfort of having someone in front of you recline. Ain’t no way I’m sleeping if I can’t recline. And if you want more space because the person in front of you reclined, why don’t you just recline too??? This really only affects the people…

I think this is a question for Drew for next week.

Dude, then why the fuck are the seats DESIGNED TO RECLINE??? Can I also tell the person behind me to not use their tray table because I can feel it whenever they pick something up and put something down?

Dude, you’re my hero right now. Who the fuck do these people think they are? I’ve been asked to put my seat back up a couple of times and I’m just like ummmmm.....no? (maybe once I ratcheted back a quarter of an inch just to get them off my case) It’s a feature of the seat! And as such, it was theoretically designed…

Why is everyone so obsessed with outside actors playing political roles on SNL? Obviously Larry David was perfect as Bernie, Baldwin has been doing well as Trump, and Melissa made a great Spicey, but has everyone forgotten that SNL already has a goddamn cast of players??? If I was one of them, I would be fucking…

Nononononono. The fall of Rome ushered in the “so-called Dark Ages.” The Black Death happened at the tail end of the medieval period, just before the Renaissance kicked off about 50 years later.

Also, Qyburn isn’t a maester. At least not anymore. He was booted out of the Citadel for doing freaky shit and forced to give up his chain.

Seriously, I just responded to someone else that if my state had had this law when I was in high school, I probably would have never picked up the habit.

I’m 27, smoke, want to quit, but it’s fucking hard to give up nicotine and not have other parts of your life suffer, which is why I still smoke (though I’ve mostly managed to get it down to only in the evenings). Anyway, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that if the age for buying cigarettes had been 21 when…

She’s Peter’s dad’s sister-in-law. That’s why they have the same last name.

I’m gonna have to try this for my second viewing.

You mean turn of the last century (or turn of the 20th century). This century turned 17 years ago.

Fuck that, us nerds love Wondy. Can’t speak for the MRA crowd though.
