The wildings had woolly mammoths when Mance Rader attacked the wall...mammoths ridden by giants.

The Golden Company utilizes elephants in their ranks. I think Cersei thinks that if they have dragons, she will have elephants? But it’s a bit of a book Easter Egg, yeah.

Apparently it is a book thing. Cersei is SUPER into elephants. 

That ending with Jamie and Bran:

Ironically, Chinese restaurants are one of the few places where I can order a big plate of cooked leafy green vegetables (snow pea leaves with garlic? practically entree-worthy), whereas most Western restaurants only offer salad. Hell, even Panda Express lets you replace rice with a ton of seasoned steamed veggies.

Rude Negro, you’ve been missed around these parts but I’m glad they let you serve as guest columnist.

There is nothing that you can put between 2 slices of Wonder Bread that wouldn’t be exponentially improved by being placed between ANY OTHER BREAD-LIKE MATERIAL. Especially a burger, because the juices will immediately turn Wonder Bread into a sodden mess.

Yeah, honestly? I don’t hate it. I’d imagine the view outside the window is beautiful, the lines of the furniture are kind of pleasant and comfortable, and it’s definitely a choice, which I appreciate. I definitely like it more than the faux-rococo styled-to-death just-so decor of most celeb homes.

. . . Well, I guess if we’re looking for silver linings, I appreciate that for once someone in the anti-abortion movement is being candid. Even accepting his logic, however (which, to be clear, I do not):

Kevin was doing really well until the butter choice. As my husband says, “Some people belong in prison.”

Thanks for the tip! (I live near a Cabela's, so I'll check there😉) 

Kelly Clarkson looks great!  She doesn’t always get it right (IMO) but this time she nailed it.

In a lot of ways the humor represented here and the conversation around defining yourself as mom, at least for me, was really helpful and reassuring in the beginning of motherhood. I was really isolated as a mother of NICU twins who wasn’t prepared and didn’t do the whole mother’s group thing. It’s funny to think that…

But also I am MORE than a mom. I think a lot of moms ONLY think of themself as a mom... especially stay at home moms. I think of myself as a person who really likes being a parent - but also likes being a normal human being! 

I am a mom, and it is obnoxious.

If you have to rely on alcohol to get you through your day, that is neither cute nor rebellious. That’s a sign of a serious problem — mom or not. If I were a teacher or a CPA or a bus driver, I can assure you no one would think I was cute if I talked about how much I needed an “ adult juice box” throughout the day.…

I’m a mom (of a 3 month old and 3 year old), and while I identify with what they are talking about, I just find this whole “mom culture” thing to be really obnoxious- especially the constant wine-swilling mom trope. While I know it is exaggerated for the sake of “humor,” and I am certainly not against the occasional…

There is an epidemic of alcoholism among mothers. It’s a really serious issue that is leading to early death among women and seems to be brushed off by such hashtags, or slogans.

The school had a responsibility to keep that little girl safe. They failed. Perhaps if they sent her to the hospital instead of he nurse’s office there would have been a different outcome.
