It’s a great episode and the Ragman’s Harbour (ie. us) is in the spotlight & we get a shoutout by name so it’s a truly lovely listening experience for at least for 2 ppl + Sam meets another undercover Stark sibling and we’re cooing over that & it’s delightful he doesn’t reproduce the Bran meet cute

This week in Westeros...well, actually, Sam has finally escaped Westeros, only for his problems to get worse. Gilly is grieving, Aemon is dreaming of dragons, and Dareon is betraying them all. But Sam slew a white walker, he can handle a singer. Our episode is up for everyone!

NOVEMBER 3, 2025
THE ART WORLD
RECONSTRUCTED
In "Monuments," the Confederacy surrenders to nineteen artists.
By Julian Lucas
6:00 AM

Picture is the statue described in img 2

•he hirst thing you see is a horses
- ass, protruding, upside down, trom the thorax of a monster. A man's arm descends from the beast's stomach, his gloved hand clutching the blade of a fallen sabre. There's no sign of a rider's face, but a head of well-coiffed hair dangles from the creature's eyeless muzzle. Every part of the work comes from a statue of the Confederate general Stonewall Jackson that was removed from Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2021. It was subsequently given to the artist Kara Walker, who carved it up in accordance with a butcher's diagram. The finished sculpture, "Unmanned Drone"—on view at the Brick, in Los Angeles, as part of a joint exhibition with MocA called
"Monuments" —is at once an act of carnivalesque retribution and a recognition of the Confederacy's zombie-like persistence. A rebellion defeated more than a hundred and sixty years ago refuses to stay dead; between the creature's legs, a horse head emerges from a gape in the bronze, like a new Jackson already foaling.

Frodo wakes. ‘Where am I?’ ‘In the House of Elrond. It is ten o’clock in the morning. The morning of October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know.’ ‘Gandalf!’ ‘Yes, I am here. And you are lucky to be here, too, after all the absurd things you have done since you left home.’

I really do think “Bart’s Comet” is the single best Simpsons episode. Some of the best gags, tremendous animation, leverages the entire Springfieldianite cast, and has a nice touching ending (except for Ned’s children who should be deeply ashamed of themselves)

Shadow Ticket is so great. Thinking it'll replace Inherent Vice/Vineland as my recommended intro to Pynchon. Streamlines all his pet themes/tones/images into their most accessible form

PoorQuentyn @poorquentyn.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

Favorite part of Shadow Ticket so far is how it builds on all the "there's submarines hidden in the Great Lakes" rumors I was told as a wee Buffalo boy

This week in Essos, Arya starts her education at Murder University. It's a dreamy, abstract chapter, but it's grounded in ritual and routine, and finds catharsis when Arya refuses to sacrifice Needle (and all that goes with it) to the god of death. Our episode is up for everyone!

We have arrived at the introduction of Euron Greyjoy, who kicks things off with the ultimate supervillain monologue: framing his lifelong commitment to violence as a mockery of every god who fails to answer prayers, allowing him to dominate the world in their place.

PoorQuentyn @poorquentyn.bsky.social · 23/08/2025

There's no character in the story quite like Victarion Greyjoy, whose POV is a giant joke on him. GRRM gleefully pokes holes in Vic's worldview, showing how it's made him miserable and connecting the dots to what's gone wrong with the Old Way as a whole. He's his own worst enemy!
