I pray I marry a man who actually wants to be married. An honest, hardworking, loving man. I pray he has morals, goals, and boundaries. Even when things get tough between us he won't give up. A man who isn't out here embarrassing the family we created.
🇦🇹 Austria has supported excluding Spain from the Schengen Area
“Spain is putting the entire European Union and its credibility at risk. People are fed up with this, and honestly, so am I. Scenes like those unfolding in Ceuta must finally become a thing of the past on European soil. Otherwise, we will have to move the Schengen borders again,” said Austria’s Minister for Europe and Integration Claudia Bauer.
EPISODE 3x6 of House of the Dragon proves what I have been saying from the very beginning: the writers of this show do not give two fucks about Fire & Blood. At this point, this is not even the Dance of the Dragons anymore. I genuinely don't even know what story they're telling now. 🤦🏾♂️
In my opinion, this episode was boring, terribly written, and filled with plot developments that either had no setup or actively made the original story worse.
1. Baela and Alyn are suddenly in love with each other... but how??? 👀When did this happen??? When were these feelings even established??? 😕 Things simply happen in this series because the writers want them to happen, regardless of whether they have actually done the work to develop them. This relationship is just the latest example - it comes out of nowhere and makes absolutely no sense.
2. Ser Criston Cole’s death is more underwhelming than I ever thought it would be. 🥱 I mean, why would Ryan Condal remove the most iconic line from the entire scene??? “I’ll have no songs about how brave you died, Kingmaker... There’s tens o’ thousands dead on your account.” Why are powerful, memorable lines like this constantly being removed from the adaptation??? Criston’s character had already been ruined since the beginning, but I think this death scene was definitey the final nail in the coffin. Even when the writers are handed a brilliant conclusion directly from the book, they still somehow find a way to make it a lot less interesting. It's truly astonishing.
3. Rhaena’s storyline being merged with Nettles was also exactly as terrible as I expected it to be. They removed a unique character, gave her story to Rhaena, and somehow managed to make the entire plotline more boring and stupid. I mean, how is Jeyne Arryn casually slapping the rider of Sheepstealer in front of everyone??? 🤔 Rhaena is now bonded to a massive, dangerous dragon, yet Lady Arryn still treats her as though she's still a powerless child. Ridiculous.
4. Then Lord Roxton apparently teleports across Westeros, arrives in the Crownlands and captures Corlys Velaryon?? 🥴 How did any of that happen? Why is this storyline even taking place when it does not exist in the book???
5. And Alicent is apparently an assassin now??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seriously, what the fuck is this story??? What are we even watching anymore??
6. The treatment of Lord Ormund Hightower may be the most insulting part of all. In Fire & Blood, Ormund is a courageous commander who fights valiantly beside his men. In House of the Dragon, he cannot tolerate unpleasant smells and vomits at the sight of blood. The show seems determined to humiliate every Green character it touches, turning capable and respected figures into pathetic jokes. Fuck off, Ryan Condom. 😤😤😤
This episode was terrible. It was boring, incoherent and completely disconnected from the story of the Dance of the Dragons. The writers are no longer adapting Fire & Blood; they are using its characters and names to tell their own fan-fiction... and it sucks ass.
No wonder George R. R. Martin wants nothing to do with this nonsense. 🙄
HOTD is terrible. i mean, i knew that going in and my expectations were already on the floor, but i’m still amazed by just how bad it is. the actors, the dragons, the big set pieces are all great, but the writing and dialogue… god
The fans got Deadpool off the ground so many years ago. Yesterday, 10 years after the first film and exactly 2 years after Deadpool & Wolverine, I felt so lucky to be on the #SDCC floor with everyone whose unapologetic devotion brings so much joy to this world.

Amazing clip of Elon Musk shutting down a journalist who uses the term 'Far-Right'
"If you go back 10 or 15 years these were completely normal policies"
Secure borders
Safe cities
Sensible spending
"These are not far right, these are normal people"
🚨 REPORTER: Your interventions risk making Europe worse
ELON MUSK: How?
REPORTER: You support people who are proto-authoritarians...very clear fascist tendencies
ELON: I think you're just completely MAKING THINGS UP. What you're saying is TOTAL FICTION. I am merely saying Europe needs to have SECURE BORDERS. It should not let in vast numbers of people with views antithetical to the accepted views in Europe. This is common sense.
🔥🔥🔥
He's on a roll!
Director Park Si-young talks about NewJeans:
"I don’t give a damn about Min Hee-jin or Bang Si-hyuk. But targeting one young person and trying to destroy them, how is that justice? It’s so unbelievably idiotic. There should be a limit. HYBE is seriously disgusting. I hope this gets as much media coverage as possible."
"If you’re making money off kids and building a business around them, then at the very least, act like responsible adults."

🚨🇦🇷 | JUSTICIA: A diferencia del escándalo de la FIFA, que le entregó el premio a Rodri pese a no haber marcado goles ni dado asistencias en todo el Mundial, la Federación Internacional de Historia y Estadística de Fútbol eligió a Lionel Messi como el mejor jugador del la Copa del Mundo.
