Don’t really think the presidential vote is instructive at all at this point, but should be noted Pitt’s rep and squad member Summer Lee cruised to victory. AIPAC considered funding a challenger, but ultimately realized it was a lost cause.

I'd say you've just demonstrated why burning down ONE weirwood tree would NOT be effective. The very nature of a network is that taking out one 'hub' does not significantly damage the whole system. That logic stands on its own, but I actually suspect the entire Westerosi weirwood net is connected by a root system that goes extremely deep into the earth and reaches throughout the continent (Dorne probably excepted). None of which is to say I support the wider premiss. My working hypothesis is that once Bran fully realises himself as the Three-Eyed Crow (who is NOT Bloodraven), he will rebel against his conditioning.

Who packs their phone? It's a fucking prosthesis at this point.

Told ya'll there was a reason the Wolves overpaid for Gobert. They weren't willing to give up McDaniels. Dude's a monster 3 and D guy. 2-0 baby!

Your mother sounds like a cool lady. What’s annoying about traveling these days is I’ll have both my laptop and my iPad in my carry on, and going through security every airport has different procedures for whether and/or how to take them out. I swear they do this just to fuck with people like a perverse social psychologist. So I’ll just ask the TSA agent when I get to the bins what I’m supposed to do, and they always look at me like I’m an idiot. Fuck you TSA.

It's disrespectful to laugh at a corpse.

Thank you. I'm 55 now but I really don't feel like an old man. In many, many ways, I am still a boy. You should have heard the sound that came out of me when I unwrapped my Captain Picard and Miles Morales action figures at the weekend. They're in my Pantheon TM right now, having a laugh and a dance with some of my brother's Doctor Who crowd. I'm not even sorry.

I literally need my phone, computer, chargers for both, sun hat, SPF 50, a bra, and my medication. I can buy pretty much anything else on the streets of Naples (Italy). And, in fact, this has happened. I can tell you that nowhere in Italy can one find a decent lingerie shop or even an indecent one with a size 30E brassiere, though I’m pretty sure that one could find such in Brazil. Or perhaps Germany. The Germans are generally….well. MY MOTHER said, “Germans. It’s either two twin beds or an orgy.” MY MOTHER.

It's just a few interchangeable outfits. I'm not packing very much. The goddamn stuffed animals that are bribes for the kiddo took up a lot of space, but that part is done. Look, I get you Brits aren't allowed to have nice things anymore or fun in general, but this guy goes to a lot of resorts. Wrong. What kind of weirdo travels without their phone?

Jota injured again. Of course he is.

Happy belated name day!

Did I want a battle or one more fight sequence? Sure. But this was a strong finale nonetheless. I liked the way Toranaga finally revealed his plan. I don't know if the book ever mentioned the game of Go, but the way events unfolded for Toranaga reminded me of a way of playing Go where you can allow your opponent to take your pieces all the while you position the rest in a way that you gain the positional advantage on the board until it becomes clear you've won without needing to continue to trade pieces.

Thanks, Bird. I'm having cake with the family at the weekend! My baby sister is flying in from Geneva and it will be lovely to see her. We've not been in the same room since the Beforetimes.

Happy birthday, Spocky!

It was my birthday the other day. My brother got me my first ever cordless drill (it's a beauty), a laser-beam measurer thingy (OMG WE LIVE IN THE FUTURE), and these socks, which are absolutely lovely. I am blessed.

Isn't it written into the city charter that NYC's Mayor WILL be corrupt, no exceptions ever?

Vote Binface!

Man, we looked good. Nice to see us so fluid after how slow we were during the Wolves match.

O yes, here we go again with that tired old canard. Stupid lazy ignorant dumb corrupt mayor all in with real estate, finance and cops insists its all outside agitators on the city's campuses. There is no way these students could actually care about, in their hearts, about the issues about which they are protesting the schools which are profiting directly from them in the millions and millions of dollars.

In my defence, it was a frantic packing of bags and last minute dash to the airport once I realised I had no real reason to attend the last night of Spannabis.

Well, ya know, stop smoking so much weed.

Mate, I had a fucking spreadsheet for my trip to Barcelona. And I still ended up paying the hotel to ship the five pairs of trousers I left hanging in the wardrobe.

No, its a mental one for me, but I always run through it before leaving the house and before checking out at a hotel. For non-Americans, everything else indeed can be purchased, but not prescription medication. There are some emergency vacation supplies you might be able to wrangle at the holiday destination, but I want never to be in that position.

Waiting on the results of the PA primary to see what lessons we can learn. Again, its going to be the number of Haley voters (she's still on the ballot I believe) and 'uncommitted' write-ins against Biden.

I mean, yes, I suppose I have a mental checklist for toiletries and chargers - and frankly that’s even more important to go through when leaving a hotel - but are y’all saying you actually write this shit down?
