Unrelated to anythng y'all are talking about - watched the first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms because I remember liking the Dunk and Egg stories maybe more than ASoIaF and certainly more than Fire and Blood and whatnot. It was pretty slow, I hope it picks up
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Thanks.
Also, Mayor Mamdani's message to the people of NYC, telling them to stay home and not risk going out in the snow unless necessary, included a suggestion to borrow the ebook of Heated Rivalry from the library and read that at home.

KotSK ep 2 got better
I’m torn between wishing I remembered anything of the plot of the books and being sort of pleased that I do not so it will all be a surprise.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Has anyone watched Paradise? I saw an impressive disaster movie-style clip from it that might scratch an itch that's gone unrelieved for me since Godzilla Minus One, but if it's 99% a political thriller with the apocalyptic stuff just being the sizzle for trailers I don't want to waste my time.

I really liked Paradise! I’m not sure it’s what you’re looking for, although I haven’t seen Godzilla Minus One to really compare. I wanna say Paradise is more of a political thriller but it’s really well written and performed and definitely has apocalyptic elements.
Eta: also didn’t realize there’ll be a season 2.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I enjoyed Paradise a great deal and am looking forward to the next season. I feel like the plotting and acting are particularly well executed.
