Oh sure but that's not how they presented it. I think Bran on the throne would make complete sense if GRRM finishes the books. But in the show the argument is that his personal story is just so darn compelling, he wins

Seriously. When in the history of Westeros was the strength of a narrative arc used in deciding questions of succession? It's just so silly

she sure picked an interesting online discourse week to make this statement (though I doubt she'd be aware of any of this tech world stuff). Peak privilege, peak white capitalist feminism. I can now purchase things; the rest of you bitches should stop complaining.

I was registering people to vote at an event yesterday, and a boomer woman came over to proclaim that while she used to be a feminist, it's no longer necessary because women won the fight and now have it better than men; no longer do we face harassment at work. And we can get credit cards.

i do tech things & went to nerd school in the 90s. the sex/creep stuff is not surprising but: if you think you are creating a demon god that will consume you, stop creating it. v obvious. these ppl (even ones that aren't as smart as they think they are) should see it, right?

We are not going to get out of the fascism problem by accepting just enough fascism to turn the heads of the fascism-curious.

I am a fan of Meszcla bars. They are crunchy (but not enough to hurt my mouth) and contain lots of pea protein. I do eat protein powder but I hide it in a breakfast smoothie - it's super gross on its own.

I thought of the heads in Geneva too, and wondered what other bizarre economic structures exist of which I might be unaware... (Stuff and Money is a fascinating book - recommended)

I don't know the stats but it has to be a huge % of Americans that either work in healthcare or have friends, family or acquaintances that do. And we were there and we know he's lying

as an American: are you saying that you have never had food poisoning ever? 😮 it is definitely part of life here. it's not always super dramatic though, might just be some diarrhea for a day or two. often it's hard to tell if it's a virus or food poisoning.

i went nuts with the lists of people to follow in the early days. for a while i saw a lot of mockery of folks following over 1K people but honestly the more people i followed the weirder and more fun my timeline got, so i kept it up.
