The good news there was that we could watch the show together, bond over it, grow closer through the weekly gauntlet of gore and dragonfire the show put us through. The problem was that pretty much every week, my future wife would ask me some version of the same question: "Who do you think is gonna die?" The question hit several variations along the way of course, whether we were talking about the siege of Winterfell or the razing of King's Landing or that final, massive episode where the future of the kingdom was decided. But every time a version of the question came up, I'd get agitated, dismissive, even bored. When I finally figured out what was wrong, I had to explain to the future mother of my children why I was being such a grump: I hate predicting what will happen in a story.

Girl, RUN.

Hegseth takes another step backward, scraps Pentagon policy on flu vaccines For nearly 250 years, U.S. military leaders have prioritized inoculating the troops. It’s a lesson the current defense secretary hasn’t learned.

During the Revolutionary War, smallpox took such a brutal toll that George Washington decided to inoculate the troops in 1777, ensuring the survival of the United States.

This came to mind watching Hegseth scrap the Pentagon’s policy on flu vaccines for no reason.

A single mum eating free in a relative’s restaurant and living rent free in a cottage on her family’s estate.

I'm reading it now. 😔

Congratulations!

What a despicable human.

That's the point. Without consequences for efforts to undermine and frankly destroy the social fabric necessary to deliver things like healthcare, the social fabric will continue to crumble and we won't get those things.

This place (and all the other concentration camps) needs to be shut down.

Deaths in ICE custody hit record high under Trump admin, agency says Since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, USA TODAY’s tracker shows at least 48 people have died in ICE detention facilities.

It's 2026, and the United States of America is killing people in concentration camps. How many of them are children? How many are there that we don't even know about?

And as awful as this is, it is still not as bad as what we are feeding the detainees in the concentration camps. 😡

Donald Trump bragged about grabbing women by the pussy.
He was credibly accused of sexual assault by 20+ women.
He is alleged to have raped at least one child.
He was found liable of sexual abuse.
And Republicans made him president.

Twice.

They don’t get to pearl clutch now.
