What’s interesting about the “Night King taking King’s Landing” theory is that it leaves Winterfell the only remaining seat of power in Westeros, making the whole “What happens to the North?” question moot: the North BECOMES Westeros, being all that’s left to rule.  That sets up some interesting dynamics between Dany,

And air resistance. At 35k feet, you’re above 3/4 of the atmosphere, which is a not inconsequential reduction in drag.

It’s as though they haven’t seen what the HOT lanes did to the beltway around the Legion Bridge, turning a rush-hour traffic nightmare into all-day gridlock on the Virginia side.

Getting really dangerous? Ask Steve Scalise what he thinks about that.

Which is also why gun violence correlates to car ownership more strongly than gun ownership: most gun violence is with stolen guns, not legally owned ones.

Well, not having it already kills people, and no one wants to do anything about that.

That’s pretty good for a private equity firm.

That’s an interesting mix of things I didn’t say and things EF21 doesn’t say.  But okay.
