How is Bran going to get his parents to kiss at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance?

can we talk about the ongoing symbolism related to environmental issues and climate change, tho?

Brianne i love you but never question ser davos true king of westeros’ honorable intentions EVER AGAIN

Yes, exactly. Especially when they then try to lecture you about corruption. It is a good question though. These people are newly politicized, generally. So it comes with a level of really naïve enthusiasm. I think a lot of it will wear off by the general. But I wonder, is this because of the Internet? I mean, when I…

And besides, that implicitly blames Nader for Gore losing, which is false. Gore lost because he didn’t earn enough votes, not because Nader stole them.

comparing one of the two candidates in an undecided democratic primary to third-party general election candidate Ralph Nader is pretty ridiculous

I just got back from National Library Legislation Day (a day in which a bunch of us librarians go nag the hell out of some Representatives/Senators). This was actually snuck into the bill that contains it, so close to NLLD, that emergency handouts had to be printed out for all of the delegates.

LOC headings are wildly inconsistent.

I swear though, sometimes I’m sure someone had a liquid lunch for their retirement party, came back and said “Fuck it; imma add all the weird shit for subject headings!” It only took them 70 odd years to add “Superheroes” as a subject heading, and now they’ve gone crazy and put in “Extraterrestrial beings”. Still no…

The one that always gives me side eye is ‘man-woman relationships’ for romance novels. I always imagine Fabio sweeping a heroine off her feet for an epic man-woman relationship that will echo down the ages. Or a little old lady asking where the man-woman relationship section is please.

“Hopefully this bill will give Washington the push needed to stop thinking up the most politically correct ways to describe illegal immigration and start thinking about solutions to address it.”

The “common practice” was/is actually the “socialist fraternal kiss” which used to be a ritual to show a close and binding relationsship between two communists leaders (and their countries) when greeting each other. Only if leaders wanted to show they were exceptionally close would they not kiss each other on the…

To be fair, ambitious young warrior Robert was probably more appealing than fat drunk complacent Robert. But still not as cool as Rhaegar, or Jaime for that matter.

Why would any lady want to marry Robert Baratheon?

Finally seeing how Varys works his manipulation magic was one of the highlights of the entire show. Seriously brilliant.

I had a prof who would mark you down a point if you said or wrote “I think.” Unless you were directly quoting someone, she expected your paper to be made up of your thoughts and she did not need to be told that. You were also allowed one “be” verb per page. She had a private war on lazy writing. She was one of those…

As a TA, I hear these kind of statements from my students a lot, but I don’t see it as a big deal. They’re just using “I feel” as a replacement for “I think.” And despite what Worthan argues, it’s not impossible to correct or build upon these statements. If I can do it with less than a year of teaching experience…

Yeah, the one episode where they were chatting and being kind of friendly before she found out that his father had her mom and brother killed was nice. I wouldn’t see them as a romantic pair, because she’s a baby. But he could maybe be her mentor advisor or cool uncle or something.

Yeah, it’s irritating for sure. Especially since all the things they quit are SO AMAZING. Hannah got into the writer’s program in Iowa, an extremely prestigious and respected program. Shosh had an amazing apartment, contacts, and ticket back whenever she wanted. JUST STICK IT OUT THO FOR REAL. I would kill for the…
