Druids are so oddly specific. Cleric, Rouge, Paladin, all very general templates. Then there's "I want to play a shapeshifter" and then it became a whole core class. Such a wild ass niche mechanic to build a whole class around

Maybe an unfair judgement, but I'd bet Buttigieg would seriously court Harris to be her VP nom. He strikes me as very ambitious, and I could see him trying to parlay the nomination into a senate or governor seat in Michigan later down the line.
I can see Whitmer being patient

Books a million cashier asked me to take a customer satisfaction survey, and I did because those probably help staffers. Survey was longer than I thought, and the coupon they sent me is $5 off my next $25 purchase within the next 30 days. I'll never get back in time to spend it. RIP

Not really what you're asking for, but basically every Disney movie in the 2000s got a companion sequel show on Disney Channel. Most notable is Lilo & Stitch, which got a sequel series and 2 spinoff series

That's the crux of it. There's so many *things* going on he'd have to write the longest, busiest two books of his life to satisfyingly conclude them all. I love all the plot threads, but there's so much to handle we're probably talking about THREE books to conclude the story now

Oh yeah, I think he definitely let the showrunners take some bullets for him lol. Doesn't help that he includes things without a plan for how they'll turn out. He painted himself into a few corners with some of the plot threads

I feel like it was said at one point that the showrunners based season 8 on GRRMs notes, so we can assume evil Dany and king bran and exile Jon are going to happen. My wife's theory is season 8 was a test balloon and now he's totally reworking the whole ending lol

Kendrick Lamar teaches us that, in public debate, refuting your opponent's arguments point by point is less effective than identifying your opponent's single greatest weakness and maintaining message discipline.

Horse walks into a bar, bartender asks, “Why the long face? Are you depressed?”
Horse thinks for a sec, “I don’t think I am” and immediately disappears.
This joke is about Rene Descartes’ saying “I think therefore I am” but if I told you that first, I would be putting Descarte before the horse.

You may not consider the Stonehenge lichens important, but if under a full moon you stripped bare and crawled in a spiral toward one of the great rocks and then as dawn broke licked the lichen you'd understand.
You'd understand everything.
