This is a comment on Youtube, but close enough: the title of one of today's Breakfast Club videos is "Lil Baby Doc Set to Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival".

One of the comments is 'I was thinking Lil Baby Doc' was some new rapper" and I feel vindicated because I thought the exact same thing for a sec.

I really want to post goatse. Instead I only have these🍄.



GRRM will never finish ASOIAF. He realized probably 20 years ago that it wasn't possible to actually finally resolve an epic series of fantasy novels that revolve around sudden hard shifts in plot and unpredictable changes in fortune in a way that will be satisfying. He punted the issue until it got turned into a TV show, and allowed the writers of that show to "finish" the plot because the TV series had a schedule to keep. Everyone hated the GoT finale, because of course they did, but now there's an overall sense that the series is finished, even if GRRM doesn't publish another book. Which he won't. Ever. He made the GoT writers take the fall for his lack of foresight in structuring his series and now he'll just blog about Tony Hillerman TV adaptations until he dies, at which point his notes will be published. It's a masterful troll, and I have immense respect for the man for pulling it off.

He didn’t make them take the fall, we know what happened. The show runners got a deal offer and hastily wrapped up GOT to take it. HBO offered them another season and they declined

As someone who stopped caring about ASOIAF like 12 seconds after I saw the last episode of Game of Thrones, this was just a really fun way to find out they're making a TV show of the Tony Hillerman books. For people unfamiliar with the source, they're about a Navajo reservation police detective. And even though I hate cops in real life, I love detective stories and I love when they aren't about white people

I still subscribe to the idea that someone spent the years between books connecting all the dots he'd foreshadowed and predicted a bunch of upcoming plot twists, including the ending, and he got so annoyed he no longer wanted to write it.

My grandfather got a laugh, and said the ones with those little armrests would normally belong to like a secretary or school official or some other professional that was on the phone constantly, and because they were on the phone constantly they had the skills to get almost anything done like magic.

e: I actually had to ask him when it was first posted, because didn't entirely realize that it was a phone from the thumbnail in the tweet.

The most cursed part about this is that I stay logged out of Twitter and usually if I try to read threads it's a safe bet I won't be able to scroll too far before Twitter logins block me. This is healthy and good because it keeps me from going down Twitter holes.

I scrolled right the gently caress down to the bottom to see every single one of these stupid ads without a single login prompt. Twitter and Dan Olsen know exactly what they're loving doing. Bill Hicks is overrated as balls but his bit on marketing was on-point.
