    The little girl was really cute.

    When the same backlash occurred to Cheerios’ mixed-race family commercial someone started the www. wearethe15percent.com website of real mixed-race families, the name coming from the statistic that 15% of American families are mixed race. How abhorrent that some still consider it wrong.

    Royalty, both of them.

    I’d like to believe that but usually they put the BEST stuff in the trailers.

    For me it’s that it seems racist. The white women are brilliant scientists* and the only black woman is a “sassy” blue-collar worker?

    Yes, I remember reading about that. I was wondering about his relative who served but NOT in wars.

    That’s right, thanks for the reminder. Does Princes Charles and William count as veterans? They served in the Navy and RAF respectively but not in wartime.

    Canadians are better at hockey, and Americans are better at making money, so they hire Canadians to play hockey for them and that’s why American teams win Stanley Cups.

    Being a Targaryean, she’d expect to marry him herself!

    He’s one of my favourites!

    Oh please please please please...

    Who else is a fan of Varys? He seems like the only one except for the recently departed John Snow who might (MIGHT) care more about doing what’s best for the people of realm than about personal power or vengeance. Note I haven’t read the books.

    Plus laymen AND doctors are only taught men’s heart attack symptoms, so when we get heart attacks we don’t realize that’s what they are because they don’t match men’s symptoms.

    I saw someone on Twitter speculating on how she died - not being mean, just wondering - and someone scolded them for it: “What does it matter?”. The person replied it mattered because she herself is 46. It’s none of our business what the cause was and we don’t have have any right to know, but it’s still human nature

    There was an article recently, in the New York Times maybe? A woman this age or younger. She woke up in the night with nausea and her husband insisted she go to the hospital. She thought he was overreacting, it was just nausea, but it turned out she was having a heart attack - the type that’s fatal unless detected

    I had a cat that did that, would like on my chest and knead and drool on my shirt, except she’d then SUCK her freshly deposited drool out of my shirt. She took nursing simulation to the extreme.

    Yes, she’s shown prepared for burial.

    I keep WANTING her to turn into a badass, a Margery kind of badass, but it hasn’t happened yet. Speaking for myself, I want it because I want to see a woman being a badass “for good” (or, not for evil) that doesn’t involve wielding a sword. To show a woman can be a badass without acting like a man (within the context

    That was my take. “Jon Snow IS dead” doesn’t mean “Jon Snow STAYS dead”. This article doesn’t mention that the episode title is “The Red Woman”, meaning that Melisandre must play a pivotal role, and she’s a) at the same place his newly dead corpse is and b) has the power to bring people back to life. So my guess is

    I don’t know which surprises me more, that a paper prop can cut someone’s neck that badly (the actor playing Sweeney clearly has talent as a murderer) or that a high school is putting on Sweeney Todd. They couldn’t get the rights to The Book of Mormon?
