this very blog network has an issue with the way it treats kids. it is not unusual to see kids made fun of on deadspin (for one), their faces and humiliating moments broadcast into the faux-eternity of the internet.

i’ll take this advice and hold onto it.

yeah, this feels like a resolution of Rich’s general arc. his career was to take way more than was advisable, to become way bigger than was advisable. mission accomplished, in a perverse, unfortunate way. i feel for his family and friends, but damn dude, this was pretty much always the goal. to find that limit.

Funny enough, the thing that Piana did which actually did hurt other people is:

you don’t see the state of fear until the threat of humiliation is upon them. some people have a nice cocoon, maybe they’ve adapted to having and handling the spotlight, but they may well react like cornered vipers if the wrong spotlight falls on them, or if they falter under its glare.

McGregor is 3-1 now, but these are not the odds anyone thinks he has of winning. McGregor opened at 25-1, and though most of the money has gone to Mayweather’s side, McGregor is garnering an obscene number of small-fry bets to his name.

“I support you guys, and it’s not about me. I’m not 100% how to handle that, is it cool if I stand behind you?”

didn’t realize how much i would be looking forward to those unpublished pages until just now.

basically going to laugh and start his username everytime i see it.

lmao right? i was just having this discussion myself the other day. the further we get from the end of his source material, the more the show feels like fan fiction. it’s not just the architecture that’s missing, it’s the characters and their voices. we’re getting tormund and hound fan-service because they burnt out…

nobody knew GRRM

IMO That’s not the worst of it. Though the timing of Dany arriving there and Benjen showing up within what I assume is hours (who knows, time is dilated severely in this season) is the worst part of his involvement. Benjen was acting on the communications of the original Three Eyed Raven beforehand, and though Bran…

lovely floofs you have there

not true. as i mentioned in a previous response, there’s no movement now, and frankly i don’t know that i would be fighting against it even if it were the here and now. more to the point, this is someone i liked (though i hardly know them now), and i can’t/don’t really consider their belief on the subject to be…

I’m not about to DOXX anybody, but there are activists I know saying that yeah, that’s what they’d like. Not that there’s a movement being organized to do it at present. I imagine that fight is for a much later day, given there are confederate monuments and KKK flag bearers to deal with today.

People are calling for the removal of the monuments for people who helped form the country, you can see them with the beauty of social media. Washington, Jefferson, whomever. They all owned slaves and people would like to see all monuments to former slave owners brought down.
