If that’s your takeaway from TLW’s post perhaps you should read it again.

Can you imagine the MSM dealing w/ images and reports like the above, but coming from Iran? Or China? And so many others… And thinking about Iran’s response to the protests b/c of the killing of Mahsa Amini and how the US is responding to these now, well, seems to me the US could get there, to Iran’s level of oppression - if the christofascists manage to take power. Because Iran’s method of dealing with protesters is oppression + repression + religious zealotry. And the US has, like many other countries, its chunk of religious zealots who would, if given the chance, repress protests just like Iran does.

Sounds like a brilliant idea! /s #LandOfTheFree

I don’t think it would… because Bran would understand that those were someone else’s feelings. It happens throughout the books, instances where Jon or Bran are aware of what Ghost and Summer are feeling. Their bonds with other animals will be different, sure, the relationship could never be as it is between the boys and the direwolves. Still, I’d find it extremely odd if all of a sudden Bran develops some weird anti Jon feelings that he “caught” second-hand from an animal he skinchanged into w/o realising those are not his own feelings.

I think the Varamyr prologue does just that, but I don’t see it as a set up for an artificial Jon-Bran estrangement or something. You mean skinchangers, right? Anyway, I’m not so sure about the emotional infection as you put it.

Moral of the story: vets can be arseholes too!

FTFY. You jest, but just the other day I read something about a lawmaker somewhere say - I can’t remember where but it was some country w/ a loud and obnoxious anti-woke gaggle of politicians) that he was going to propose a law banning vegan meals in any public school menu b/c “everyone knows veganism is a dangerous arm of the woke left. WTAF. Has trying to deal with and solve issues for your electorate gone out of style or what?

I think it goes beyond the fact that she bragged about it but also how happily she narrates that yes, she is a proud puppy killer but only after botching it first, leaving the wounded dog there, going after more ammo, coming back to finish that bastard dog off. Then she realises there's a bunch of people watching this spectacle, her daughter's school bus pulls up and the daughter's first words are "where is 'Toto'?".

Will this be the one time when “puppy killer” is a plus on a VP resume?

Is this meant as a serious question?

The above is a thing of beauty.

That makes a lot of sense. I was more commenting on the irony and insanity of the situation.

Indeed. Which means that Biden is helping Trump's campaign. That's how bonkers things are atm.

Israel’s government officials now actively campaigning for Trump. And it won’t change a thing, it won’t matter in the least. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-04-24/ty-article/.premium/netanyahu-minister-says-he-would-vote-for-trump-biden-strategy-hurts-israel/0000018f-104e-d70d-a58f-d9ffb9d20000 “Netanyahu Minister Says He Would Vote for Trump: Biden 'Causes Real Damage' to Israel Relations” https://m.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-798396

Not much to say other than I agree. I find the [over]reaction of law enforcement has been… quite telling actually.
