Couldn't be worse this one. Can't believe it's real. Pelosi then made a speech about cooking dosa with Kamala Harris.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Oh certainly not. I don't give them any credit for that. That's all GRRM. I actually think a lot of the problems in the final season are the result of the fact that he already mostly knows how all the character arcs are going to conclude but he still hasn't quite figured out how to get them there yet. The show runners, even under the best of circumstances, may not have been up to the task of filling in the gaps but it didn't help that they basically tried to speed run all of it.
Whether selective laziness (he certainly had no issues doing side projects and making loathsome dung eaters in belden bing) or some deliberate cliffhanger marketing strategy, last I checked he still hasn't put out "winds of winter" and I'm glad the once-impossible-to-ignore pop cultural juggernaut is slowing down and gradually coming apart.
Yeah, I know. I'm not convinced he'll ever finish it either. I think he basically knows the broad strokes of where he wants things to wind up though and he had discussions with the show runners about it. Like the specifics are subject to change but I 100% also think it was always his intent for Jon to basically abdicate and go north of the wall because depending on your perspective it's kind of the happiest ending he actually could have gotten.
