Agree 100%. Where was this “Kyrie is a poison” narrative after the Celtics handily swept the Pacers or after the Celtics’ Game 1 domination? What we saw here is the Celtics solving the Giannis issue with a perfectly constructed and perfectly executed game plan in Game 1, followed by some perfect adjustments by…

spoken like a true Knicks’ fan!

Ah, I see.  My work PC blocked the website hosting the actual motion.

Good post. I’m not sure I get the angle here. Vilifying the stock market? I mean, that’s weird. The objective of going public is typically to raise capital by way of shared ownership in your business. There’s nothing particularly nefarious about this. And, to your point, you don’t have to be a “rich, amoral lunatic”…

I think here it is actually used properly (for once, right?!). FL Rule of Crim Procedure 3.830 permits a court to (i) find direct criminal contempt and to (ii) punish the wrongdoer to a sentence to be announced in open court. I think the prosecutors, in their prayer for relief here, are specifically asking for a…

But why would either side give a rat’s ass about Bronn? He’s one freaking guy. What was Tyrion’s motivation in promising him anything? To save his own ass in that moment? It didn’t seem to be the case that Bronn was going to kill them at that moment, but rather at a future date. Was Tyrion just kidding? And why would…

Spot on.  Great post.

I don’t think Lord of the Idiots was being sarcastic. I took his (or her) statement as genuine, because it’s exactly how I feel. In other words, I am willing to embrace ice monsters and magic and dragons and zombies, but if you’re going to show me a crossbow then let’s have it function like a normal (but larger)…

Euron is truly the cartoon villain twirling his mustache.

“A group of 30 people can build a fully functional house in less than a day right now. Imagine what you could do if you have 100,000 people all working towards one thing, even with only using hand tools.”

Fragile AND delicious!

Why would Varys tip off Euron? That makes zero sense. He’s a pragmatist and an opportunist. He’s backed Dany because, ya know, dragons. He may be waffling in favor of Jon, but still ... dragons.

Wasn’t the dragon stalking around in the background, or am I crazy?  Also, if the answer is yes, why didn’t Euron shoot at it with his super crossbow?

KING Geedorah?

I recommend the cover to back cover method. 

That’s fantastic.  My father did indeed fall asleep during Empire.  I think he survived Willow.

oh ABSOLUTELY!  I remember my dad saying to me “ya know ... the book you read was based on the movie ... not the other way around?”  I was unmoved.

I was 14 years old in 1988. I bought the novelization of the movie, which was released a few months before the movie was released. I read it cover to cover and then begged my dad to take me to see it opening night.

is that you, dear?

The problem, in my view (and I also read the whole story) is the dean’s confirmation that he was aware of the problem but “parents are allowed to visit their kids in their dorms.” And, later, his apparent sigh of relief, when daughter graduates, that they will finally be rid of Larry. First, how is this “visiting”?! I…
