Time moves so damn quickly.

i love that he sounds like he's yelling through a hospital intercom like “many, many tv channels are bad and i am 900 percent of the 20,000 million. is jasmine crockett related to davey crockett? maybe! she's stupid. i love davey crockett” and the photo makes him look like the damn Chessmaster 6000

Game of thrones rewatch thoughts: season 6 rocks.

The milky way

Great sky tonight.

I think the burning of Shireen is the most devastating moment in all of Game of Thrones.

Continuing my Game Of Thrones rewatch... Hardhome kicks ass.

15 years ago today, I received noticed that A Dance With Dragons was being shipped to my house.

How many more years until I will receive similar notice of The Winds of Winter?

Day date with my number 1.

Continuing with my Game of Thrones rewatch, The Watchers on the Wall doesn't get the respect it deserves. What an incredible episode of television.

There's buzz on Geocities message boards that the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute in New Mexico discovered a radio signal that did not originate from Earth a few hrs ago. We've heard such claims before, but this is SETI reportedly saying this.

My Game of Thrones rewatch continues. The Red Viper of Dorne kicked so much ass.

It works on two levels.

Rewatching Game of Thrones. Dany taking the Unsullied in Season 3, episode 3 is freaking great. The reveal she is speaking High Valyrian, followed by the killing of the masters... just great stuff.

LMFAO. Tremendous Thread.

and they went to the Finals the year before the trade!

While waiting on @theshaggyshepherd.bsky.social 's proofread of Book 4 in my Galactic Civilizations series, I've been revisiting Felan's Rescue (book 1), planning to release an updated version as I'm just a better writer now and while I love that story, there are scenes I am improving.

I finished Lightbringer this week. It rocked. Now which father's day present should I start next?

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

I think I'm going to be saved!

I'm very behind on Andor, but just finished the Ghorman arc... incredible television. This show is elite.

It's so fun, watching a Star Wars show that is fresh and exploring new aspects of the Galaxy/Empire/Rebellion.

Nobody writes science fiction battles like Pierce Brown. Light Bringer is already a tour de force.

Nice view. Nice read.

An underrated parenting skill is not cracking up when your 4 year old, out of nowhere, tells you and/or your wife to "F××× off".

Walter White was always an asshole, so there really was no "breaking bad." It wasn't hard for him to be selfish, it was natural. The biggest difference was that with cancer he had nothing to lose and could be his selfish, arrogant self to the fullest. The show should have embraced this more.

Thank you to Baylor, Cincinnati, Colorado, and TCU for scheduling quality Week One games.

YouTube video by L'Epoque De nos grands frères Game of Thrones (S01E05) - Robert and Cersei speak about Lyanna Stark

I've been doing a game of thrones rewatch. Robert and Cersei discussing the state of things remains one of my favorite scenes in the show. It's a compete show creation (but in the books) and it's phenomenal.

The everything app is down again. It continues to be a mess that survives on the inertia of everyone already being there.
