That’s Dany in a nutshell. Great at conquering, not so great at (or even interested in) ruling. This is generally one of the overarching questions with which Martin is preoccupied - i.e., what makes a good ruler? As we’ve seen, he presents a number of different candidates, most of whom are terrible at governing…

Dany was really only able to gain power over people who had lost their leadership (often because she had killed them). She got pushback in the north because the northerners liked the Starks and Sansa was already in the trenches addressing their needs. Dany never had a plan for deposing or allying herself with good…

He’s also a big believer in quack medicine - osteopathy, homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture. NHS has a lot of problems, and he’s not likely to be of much help.

“At this point I only visit the site to see what new level of embarrassment they’ve reached.”

They might know O.J., but they don’t know Nicole’s name. Hell, when I watched O.J.: Made in America with my wife, she didn’t know any of the parties involved — my wife is 26. Margot Robbie didn’t know Tonya Harding was a real person when she read the script for I, Tonya.

I saw him on what must’ve been the same tour. At one point he went off on a prolonged misogynistic rant about his ex-wife that made everybody uncomfortable, but at least it wasn’t getting laughs and he eventually moved on. I don’t remember a single joke he told; nothing stood out.

G.I. Jane and O.J. Simpson references in 2022. I see why this genius of comedy is getting paid the big bucks!

It seems to me like subbing in “women” in place of “people who menstruate” is far more reductive. Not all women menstruate. I’m not even just talking about trans women, I’m talking about women who’ve gone through menopause, or any of the other myriad reasons a woman might not menstruate that have nothing to do with…

I don’t think anyone’s all that outraged, just poking fun at the very distinct pattern. 

I think you’re doing Amal Clooney a disservice here—she’s not just some trophy wife, or a well-bred race horse. If George Clooney said that he dated around for as long as he did because he wanted to be reasonably certain he could not possibly do better than whomever he ultimately ended up with, and that person turned o…

I don’t either. I’m wondering if having the dad in his life again has re-established the dynamic of abusive father-son: ‘I never hit you, you just bumped into walls a lot. I was always there for you.’

That was my first thought, too. This feels like revisionist history where he might be seeing his father in a gentler light, having found himself in a similar position. Wasn’t his dad known for being abusive prior to the movie?

That was my thought as well. Sweeney is complaining that people are politicizing her party. Her guests politicized it by wearing their stupid cult uniforms.

I’m not up to date on racist slogans so Idk what Make 60 Great Again means, and not sure I want to google it....... what does that mean?

Conservative is a legit political position.

There’s no reason to talk about ‘these kinds of situations’ as a generality. If LaBoeuf genuinely feels like he’s ready to own his shit, he should settle with/not contest Twigs’ lawsuit.

Normal Catholics: “So for Lent I’m giving up getting a big gulp every morning, my doctor says nobody should drink a gallon of pepsi every day anyhow.”

Catholic Reddit: “Did you guys know that according to the 15th Council of Brightenfeld anyone living in, or descended from, inhabitants of the bishopric of Pelagius VIII…

For all the amount of TV out there, this sort of monopolizing the nominations bothers me a little. Even if I liked all these shows. When we’re loving this many supporting performances, its just time for Best Cast. That way, Best Supporting Performance can really concentrate on characters who singularly enhance a…

Ill go with Midnight Mass and I Think You Should Leave being the biggest snubs.
