I've decided who I'm going to vote for in the NC Democratic primary. Senate: Roy Cooper US House District 4: Nida Allam NC Court of Appeals Seat 3: Christine Marie Walczyk District Attorney District 10: Wiley Nickel Wake County Board of Commissioners At-Large: (Pick 2) Christine Kushner Mona Singh

The 20th anniversary illustrated edition of A Feast For Crows seems to be packed with AI art. Given that GRRM is currently in a lawsuit against Open AI, I imagine he was not aware of this. Credit to u/InGenNateKenny on Reddit for catching these examples

New York Times put the NYT Mini crossword behind a paywall This link will let you bypass the paywall and play for free: www.nytimes.com/crosswords/g... I reverse engineered their JS and found the paywall is all client-side. This URL overrides the config flag which enables the paywall

Hollywood Reporter did an article on GRRM's Sante Fe businesses. Released this morning. In it he says he's focused on Winds of Winter and Dunk&Egg. I would be okay with Dunk & Egg before Winds. I would NOT be okay with freaking Blood & Fire before Winds. #asoiaf

Fascinating. #medievalsky #byzantine #roman

@abraham.bsky.social Just finished Tiamat's Wrath. God damn!

Seems like George RR Martin is angry this morning lol. I do not blame him. Some of the comments in the r/asoiaf reddit thread about this are rancid. #GRRM

#asoiaf #adwd

@westeros.org Your automatic posts for NotABlog keep tagging the wrong hashtags lol

"They're direwolves in the same way that young griff is a Targaryen and rheagars son" lmao

He hates the progressive movement era and the New Deal era so much.

chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell have the same ideology of senate leadership, which is: yes, you have to absorb some hatred and malcontent. but in return, you get to sabotage the democrats

This new song for CK3AGOT, "The Laughing Tree", by Apollo & Roselyse is just great. The accompanying artwork by Rottinghead is so good. Depicts Rhaegar and Lyanna. #asoiaf #AGOT #GRRM www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqoy...

Tech bro CEO's wanting Techno Feudalism, Trump wanting to be King and issuing edicts, Republican Congress eliminating the inheritance tax (and seeding all power to Trump), When are they going to start spouting off about the idea of Hereditary Rule lmao

One of GRRM's minions announced on his Facebook page the release date and artist for the A Feast for Crows Illustrated edition. November 4th and Jeffrey R. McDonald. www.jeffreyrmcdonald.com #asoiaf #affc

@jeffreymcdonaldart.bsky.social The GRRM Facebook page announced that you're the artist for the AFFC Illustrated edition. Can't wait to see how you depict Brienne's journey through the Riverlands! #asoiaf

This is a good thread on plotlines in Winds of Winter. www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/s/s... #asoiaf #WindsOfWinter #GRRM

@westeroscraft.com What will be yalls reaction when Winds comes out and George adds, removes, and modifies locations lol

@westeros.org Any chance you can replace the link on this SSM Entry www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/... with this archive url that actually works? web.archive.org/web/20061214... (I just went on a scavenger hunt to find a working link to that interview) #grrm #asoiaf

Conservatives and Repubs. bitterly opposed the NLRB back in 1935, and they do so now. NLRB was the compromise between labor and government/business. I would hope that if the NLRB along with all the other New Deal labor protections get dismantled by Tump, we'd see a return of violent labor disputes

This is fucked

President Trump fired National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo. In an unprecedented move, he also ousted Democratic board member Gwynne Wilcox, leaving the board with no quorum.

I've been listening to the History of Rome podcast. So I can't help but think: the patricians vs the plebeians lol

@askhistorians.bsky.social @lollardfish.bsky.social I didn't actually think I would get selected for the free copy of Oathbreakers from the AskHistorians AMA, but I did! Thanks. Will be sure to read the book when it arrives.

Multi Millionaire Tech Bros and Silicon valley venture capitalists once again not beating allegations that they want to revert all progress made during the progressive era and FDR era

Picked up these two books at a used book store. Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, and Magic of Recluce by L.E. Modesitt. Guess I'll see if I enjoy these series

@quinnthegm.bsky.social The duality of the fandom. www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/s/o...

@mikemcmahan.bsky.social That episode was amazing in so many different ways. It seems like the series finale will be a banger episode. I'm sooo sad that there will be no more stories of the gang after this.

I'm having to argue on r/asoiaf that yes, Arya would much rather be a rich noble girl with her Mother in Riverrun or with her Aunt Lysa in the Eyrie rather than be a peasant in the Riverlands, or a street urchin/assassin apprentice in Braavos. #asoiaf #GoT

Sometimes I hate the ASOIAF/GoT fandom. No, the "broad brushstrokes of how the show concluded" is NOT how the books will end. Like yeah, Bran will be King and *maybe* Dany will be dead in the end. But everything else will be different! You cannot compare the show to the books. #asoiaf #GoT

Jon Snow for the last 13 years. #asoiaf #GoT (shamelessly stolen. Too hilarious not to share)

I have incredible sympathy for this young women. I've read online that bullying in the UK can be pretty bad. But oh my god. The Khaleesis are old enough to post on reddit now. 💀 old.reddit.com/r/TrueOffMyC... #asoiaf #GoT

today.tamu.edu/2024/12/02/a... Laughing at the idea of Cersei reading George's AFFC manuscript drafts. #asoiaf #grrm

Happy Thanksgiving asoiaf and game of thrones folk! Here’s the one and only mention of turkey in the series:

I cooked today with a comment on r/asoiaf > I actually like the theory that Brienne has to look within herself, and decide to follow her own morality rather than rely on Catelyn/Stoneheart's morality. Thus choosing to save Jamie. And I like that it parallels Jaime's decision.

@taniel.bsky.social Gov Cooper has vetoed the bill. webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewBillDocu...

Current Books I'm reading: Just completed The Dragon Waiting by John M. Ford (was very good) In the middle of Tiamat's Wrath by James S.A. Corey Trying to start The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams but have been getting distracted by other books

@westeros.org are able to contact George's team to see if @grrm.bsky.social is fake or real? (I'm betting its fake lol)

There are zero Wild Cards fans in my life Random House #grrm #asoiaf

@abraham.bsky.social OH SHIT - finally getting reeeal good

Colorado and New Mexico got like 20 inches of snow. Here's hoping GRRM is snowed in, writing away at his computer, and taking inspiration from the snows to finish the Northern plot lines. Or maybe he's just sipping hot chocolate by the fire. idk.

@mikemcmahan.bsky.social That intro to episode 4 was so visually beautiful. The whole episode was awesome.

@westeros.org I saw this on r/fantasy, I gotta recommend you read this article: slate.com/culture/2019...

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #548,823!

@taniel.bsky.social what's the latest news from French politics. I saw this: x.com/Elysee/statu... but aaaahhhhh don't really understand what it means.

Reposting this here for the ASOIAF feeds because this is hilarious. For Context: @altshiftx.bsky.social and Glidus released a 22hr video about Jon Snow #ASOIAF #GOT

@glasgow2024.bsky.social I'm curious if you guys have a statement or response to George's latest blog post. Where he claims ya'll ignored his attempts to organize some panels. You would think having GRRM at your con doing some panels and structured signings would be a draw for attendance.
