Why is it called #GameofWool? Is it a pun on something?

I've used them in teaching contexts (with adults) and my approach has not been "it's OK to skip this text"...

Like, I've no concept of a yacht, it's far beyond my imagining. But being able to afford one Fancy holiday a year instead of a couple of long weekends in the UK? Green with envy
11.09.2025 11:25 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I think about this a lot, but usually in relation to myself! I was at university for 10 years and many of my peers earn much more than I ever will, even if I remain in my chosen career for a decade.
I think it's fairly human to envy things that seem *just* out of reach.
Oh I LOVED this when I saw it last year. Really tremendous acting from the whole cast, both main and supporting actors. I really believed in the character arcs, too, which is hard to do over a short series trying to cover someone's whole life

For us to leave it would not only undermine all our own rights and freedoms, it would be a completely immoral abdication of responsibility.

This was my fault for leaving a plastic bag of treats where she could reach it
She hates pooping inside (though she has two clean and good litter trays!) so it will be a battle of wills
I remember reading on like, tumblr, that Tulio and Miguel in Road to El-Dorado were intended to be lovers but it got nixed. I don't know if that's true or just wishful thinking though
