I’m not scandilized by people engaging with dumbfuck Ben Shapiro, but I do find it annoying that they invite him on without being prepared to deal with his shot-gun blast of nonsense.

Come on, dude. You think Iggy and Curry both escort Durant back to the locker room if they think he’s fucking with them?

I listened to the game, so it’s tough to say much, but it sounded like (1) Kawhi’s knee was bothering him which, fuck you, universe, and (2) they were swarming and trapping him when he had the ball.

She just thought her awesome power as an influencer was being leveraged to break into the incredibly lucritive rower demographic.

Man...I’m cautiously optimistic.

Boogie on the floor also means Gasol and Ibaka can absorb minutes without getting roasted in Steph-Draymond pick and rolls...

That first season of Jessica Jones is by far my favorite Marvel production.

George over Durant is silly. I know George played well, but Durant had a good year by his standards, and that should be enough.

Man, I love anything that makes a baseball game longer!

Watching Giannis, this is the exact scenario I was worried about coming into the playoffs - the Raptors are clogging the paint and getting underneath him. Giannis is awesome, so he’s still doing a little scoring and moving the ball around, but he can’t just dominate.

Guys, turns out Eaton was for Bernie and Frazier was for Clinton.

And also...what millionaire has an adjustable rate mortgage?

Nice to have someone recognize it. Thank you. The collar on my leather jacket is turned up.

Ha, I’m not the disappointed one. I didn’t spend a bunch of time theorizing about Azor Ahai and pouring over the carefully developed lore only to watch all of it dashed on the rocks by a couple of showrunners that clearly hated every fantasy element in the story.

I think people were surprised how quickly it happened and with such little seeming motivation (compared with what she’d already gone through in her life) to cause her to toss aside her prior commitments.

Yes, that’s why she was interesting.

Yeah, or a Khan. The Dothraki were clearly modeled on the Mongols (without the brilliant strategic combat and logistics), so I suppose it would be consistent if she eventually when Genghis.

I’m not a fan, so take the following with a grain of salt - at least the portion of the story that followed the books made an effort at being unpredictable and attempting to undermine fantasy tropes.

Shows like this are much more fun to hate watch. Imagine being one of these people who spent a bunch of time thinking about the lore and the history of the world, considering the mysteries and how they would be resolved, only to watch it all be shat into an outhouse.

Among other things, the early portions of the story put a lot of effort into being unpredictable, undermining (some) fantasy tropes.
