Don’t worry i’m sure you’ll get the chance to dismiss the accounts of many more women!

He’s also acknowledged repeatedly how phobic some of his standup material was, and that he cringes now when he hears it. It was such common humor at the time that few people who weren’t themselves gay thought twice.

My fuck-you-very-much trigger:

“...but we’ve yet to see its best.”

Presumably she means citadel in the traditional sense, i.e. fortified part of the city, not ‘the Citadel’ the place

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. And for avoiding book spoilers.

No, she’s real and her deal will be explained later. I’m not gonna say anything from the books but when Daemon entered the dining room and the Strongs surrender she was in the room and the only one who didn’t kneel.

Actually, I think she 100% planned to engage but they made it into the woods before she got them in range. She even kind of realizes that she slipped up in letting Rhaenyra and her council know just how close she got to them when she was only sent to scout. She’s definitely her father’s daughter.

Partying with a petty and cruel drunk sucks.

I don’t think I have commented here since the last episode of GOT but...good god this episode was brilliant. It was everything GOT could have been but failed because of Dumb and Dumber.

I think he’s trying to drive a wedge between Aegon and Alicent. It wasn’t about the actual result of it - it was about making Aegon think that Aemond and Alicent wanted him out of the way, which I read as the reason for Aegon’s later humiliation of Aemond.

the Brackens and Blackfoots were so easily goaded into annihilating one another, weren’t they?

I only recently found out she was born in the same town as the Sandy Hook school shooting and donated money to the families. This was on Wikipedia I never saw her make a public statement on the matter.

I am not a psychologist, but I think this goes back to her first husband who was abusive and her father who died young. She’s had hang ups concerning men, hence her obsession with “womens spaces”. She clearly sees trans women as men, and thus the only reason men want to be seen as woman is abuse.

Every now and again, I hear a new Hunger Games book or movie is coming and I just think “good for Suzanne.”

Everyone should be Suzanne Collins.  Rich, no social media, never a word.

The books are good! Rowling has a very good ear for dialogue, her settings feel lived-in (even if her actual worldbuilding collapses under even the slightest scrutiny), and she cleverly made each book a little mystery rather than a straightforward fantasy narrative. There is a reason the books are/were so beloved.…

There are things to like about the books. Unlike about her 

How many great works are truly original, though?

Definitely nothing intolerant about slandering someone for their gender, age and national origin lol.
