It’s a good way to weed out the boring and ignorant, anyway. 

I think he’s much weaker than people make out, because he’s basically the kind of center-right neolib icon the voters rejected in 2016. He doesn’t have her baggage of being the target of 25 years of right-wing propaganda campaigns, but he’s got a lonnnnng track record of being a status-quo guy. And people are fed up…

I just assumed sarcasm on your part. 

Of course it’s Boston.

Your headline is probably the only thing about this project that’ll prompt a laugh from me.

Problem is, it predates the current administration; it’s why 2016 happened the way it did. The feeling that the dice are loaded is what turned off a lot of voters. Whether the current occupant of the White House is impeached, voted out, or strokes out on the toilet during a late-night rage-tweet episode, we still need…

Greil Marcus, in the Sly Stone chapter of Mystery Train,referred to the mood of the country at that point when “Back Stabbers” rode the charts, and a creeping sense of paranoia and powerlessness and just-don’t-wanna-know bleached out the energy of the 60's civil rights era: “These are the politics of the freeze-out.”…

Also, there’s the classic-but-dull Trump Bingo option. But better, Trump Mad Libs. There’s two ways to frame that: Have a normal speech and players slot in Trumpisms into the gaps.

But the more interesting idea to me would to be take some Don rant, and pull out all the actual things and references that he manages to…

I like the way you think.  Because this is how my brain works, too. 

Ten-minute webisodes of Brienne, Bronn, Davos and Sam sniping and bickering while everyone ignores Tyrion until it’s time for someone to make a decision.

It’s a pity Varys and Jorah didn’t make it.  They would’ve filled the empty chairs as War and Espionage. 

I would watch many webisodes of the series “Meeting Minutes Of the King’s Small Council” where we get 10 minutes of Bronn, Brienne, Davos, and Sam bickering and sniping at each other, while everyone disses or ignores Tyrion until a decision needs to be made.

“ the license taken by the powerful to reach down from the heights and journal their personal issues across the world in the blood of commoners”  

Apparently the movie’s better than the book. I tried reading the book over the winter and gave up a little after halfway though - and it’s a very small book.  Then a friend mentioned he’d re-watched the movie recently and it was a favored comedy.  I think I’ll watch it. 

After re-reading the blog, I realized that every thing person, and circumstance involved with this story are to some extent gross and bad.

That encounter kind of changed the direction of my life and those involved in a very necessary way that seems, a dozen years on, to have been very good for us. 

“Just because what you say is true and and funny doesn’t mean it can’t be hurtful to us.”  

The plot just seems to be improvised riffs to move characters around so they can have really excellent scenes together.  

It did.  I enjoyed it but a number of commenters were confused or angered. 

My impression is Jizyah Shorts always comes on strong at first but ultimately shoots their wad prematurely and won’t last.
