    If people were upset with that then they missed a lot of foreshadowing. “When a Targaryen is born the gods flip a coin.”

    I hated it because it felt rushed. They were tying up years long storylines too quickly because they wanted a piece of the Star Wars money. This led to them rushing through way too many stories and had the end result not make sense with a lot of other storylines. They ignored personal growth of the characters we followed just to get them to the ending that B&W wanted. That was my beef anyway.


  • I agree with the “not getting all these labels” but they aren’t really for me. I’m not out trying to find someone to date or bang or whatever.

    I was having a conversation with some co-workers last week about the difference between bisexual and pansexual. I might have been wrong in my explaination. I’m a straight white man (so my knowledge is limited), but I’m usually more open than my (normally older) co-workers. They didn’t understand the need for it, or why it mattered. I said well apparently LGBTQ people had enough interactions to need a new word. If you aren’t dating or in that world then you wouldn’t understand the need for a more detailed definition of Bi vs Pan.

    For the record they just thought it should all be lumped under Bi with no need for an extra trans inclusion word since (in their mind) trans was already included.



  • I got back into comics when Hickman “soft-booted” the X-Men with Krakoa. Now they are on the “Fall of X” storyline, post Krakoa. It is indeed a exciting and great time. I’m enjoying it.

    There are a lot of LGBT characters and I feel they are treating them like real people or real mutants anyway instead of just it as an after thought. Most teams or books have at least one LGBT identifying individual on it, but most are in relationships, so they dive into that. I am a straight white man though so I probably have blind spots somewhere.

    Bro Virginia banned access to pornhub. Instead of implementing age verification at the user level. Parents don’t give your kids full internet access if you are too scared of porn.

    I say banned, but you have to provide a photo ID to verify you age, and some site (xhamster) are asking for a webcam pic/video to verify age. Like wtf is going on? Definitely not small government or policies helping VA families, that’s for sure.

    Not land of the free and massive government overreach from every single elected official. All of them voted for it because their owners (pac donors) wanted it passed.
