While they are not directly adjacent, since Brienne has sworn a vow to Lady Cat to find her daughters, hmmmm. I like this thought, but don't know how to answer.

Dog gone it! I looked him up and still screwed up! Thanks for the correction!

17 September 1849 Harriet Tubman and her two brothers Ben and Harry escaped slavery. Her two brothers went back into slavery and Harriet went with them, only to escape again a couple of months later and used the Underground Railroad to gain her freedom.

If one looks at who Sansa did not 'kill outright', it's quite a long list of 'Sansa adjacent' deaths. There are several of these deaths around her, shall we take a look? Mycah the butcher's boy. One might say the situation that caused Mycah's death was a team effort of not just the Stark girls, but Cersei and the Hound. Joffrey's showing off for Sansa and Arya's attempt to get Joffery to leave steamrolled into a situation which later caused Mycah's death by the Hound. While Sansa did claim she forgot what happened, even if she remembered it didn't matter, poor Mycah would still have been murdered. Sansa didn't kill Mycah; she was part of the incident that led to his death. Ser Hugh of the Vale. Ser Hugh managed to get Ser Gregor Clegane's lance shoved under his gorget, killing him and he fell right in front of Sansa and Jenye Poole. Jayne when into hysterics, while Sansa remained cool as a cucumber. She did not kill Ser Hugh, she was however, there and Ser Hugh's death was Sansa adjacent. Time passes for Sansa without any deaths that I can remember, until the death of King Joffery. As mentioned above, she did not directly kill Joffery but unknowingly supplies the poison that did. Next up, or perhaps down, is Ser Dontos Hollard. This complex death starts first with Sansa saving Ser Dontos from death by convincing Joffery not to kill him for being sloppy drunk at Joffrey's name day tourney. Later, she seals his fate by meeting him in the Godswood after he sends her an unsigned note. During their meetings, Dontos occasionally plants sloppy kisses on Sansa which she allows. Is she being wanton? He helps Sansa escape King's Landing to Littlefinger's ship, but alas for poor Dontos, LF kills him after Sansa is safe on the ship. Another Sansa adjacent death. Time passes and snow falls in the Vale. In that snow, Sansa, with the help of Littlefinger, builds a snow castle, Winterfell. LF can't resist himself and kisses Sansa, which is seen by Lady Lysa. Lysa gets upset by this and tries to throw Sansa out of the Moon Door after calling both Sansa and Cat 'wanton'. Meanwhile, Marillion plays and sings to cover Lysa's loud accusations and Sansa's screaming. LF saves Sansa, then throws Lysa out the Moon Door. He has Marillion arrested and put into a sky cell which he falls out of to his death. Two Sansa adjacent deaths. While Sansa is not directly lethal, death happens around her. Will there be more Sansa adjacent deaths? With a tourney coming up soon in the Vale, there might be.

Happy Birthday little birdie!

Towards the end of the video she's turned around it looks like she is telling someone to shut up. Oh, what class!

Of course they work hard @Tywin et al. here's what they work at: Roughly 150,000 auto workers are preparing to launch what may be the biggest strike in decades this Thursday over their employers’ refusal to provide adequate pay and job security. Meanwhile, in the past twelve months, the Big Three automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis — have authorized $5 billion in stock buybacks, effectively giving billions of dollars to shareholders that could have gone to autoworkers. On top of the stock buybacks, the Big Three have reported $21 billion in profits in just the first six months of 2023. Despite the enormous gains, the companies have cried poverty in response to union demands for wage increases to make up for decades of pay stagnation. Automakers Hand Billions To Shareholders While Stiffing Workers (levernews.com) edt: missed the money quote: In a statement released last month, General Motors (GM) claimed that the United Auto Workers’ (UAW) demands “would threaten our ability to do what’s right for the long-term benefit of the team.”

Now that this photo is on X he's most likely to be doxed and harassed. Don't disagree with his sentiments though.

Schweinsteiger @A Horse Named Stranger has thrown a shoe; I wish he'd stop that shit. Once put back on and now ready, Lizzy @Fragile Birdis nowhere to be seen. Whistling and calling doesn't bring her back to us. Oh, wait, there she is, she's.......

Thanks for posting this video.

When 911 happened, I was spending most of my online time on an equestrian list that had posters from many folks from all over. One of them, Tracey from South Africa, made a great post talking about the attack, by telling us about how awful apartheid was and the trauma at of the end of apartheid, which included her brother's death. She mentioned to not let the attack lead us into bitterness and deeper darkness. "Don't give into hate." she said. Thank you, Tracey, for saying that and I wish you well. "Don't give in to hate." Tracey, from South Africa

Brutal! The both of ya's, brutal.

Tyrion was a suck up to Mormont and got rewarded with delicious crabs. He ate and drank well before sending Slynt to the Wall. Perhaps he should have stabbed Mormont in the eye instead of sending a quarrel into the Tywin's guts.
