@MaxTGoodman Weaver has replaced RA Dickey as the clubhouse thinker and masterful articulator.

@lanechanged I live alone in a very rural town of 300 people. I feel this.

[ᒪᗩᑎE @lanechanged]

I was just out front & an elderly woman out walking stopped to ask me if my dad still lived here. I had to tell her that no, he passed away a cpl yrs ago & that i lived here now. I introduced myself & thanked her for stopping to chat. She laughed & said i would prob be her only interaction today & possibly all week.

That made me sad cuz as much as i hate people in general, we are losing our sense of community. Everyone's turning to online for their communities & i don't think that's a good thing. Elderly folk will end up even more isolated than before.

Please check in on the ones you know. Tell them a weird-ass chick on Twitter named Lanie told you to.

@tcboyle Terribly true today. *sigh

Tis why good literature (well, all. good. art.) is essential (both for consumers and creators) during these trying times.

We (and fellow bugs among) us keep us going and give us reason for hope if/when this passes.

Write on, @tcboyle.

@Uc_heyy02 I was disppointed w the Sand Snakes on the show
My instinct suggests they were miscast, but like many on the show, they werent given enuf screentime to fully give the characters enuf depth or substance
Of course GOT could have been 5x longer and still not satisfy me, so IDK 🤷‍♂️

@FNburneraccount @Tim6992 @PTSportsFix @S_U_Network True, but availability is a valuable ability.

That said, it doesnt make a player elite.

Comparison could be Eli Manning in NFL. Top ten w many statistical categories (and two rings), but never an elite player. He was a compiler who stayed healthy w two great playoff runs.

[Frederick Doot @dootthewriter]

@PTSportsFix Depends how much you value a pure hitter.

Gwynn was the better pure hitter

Jeter was clutch in the postseason and compiled stats with so many opportunities never given to Gwynn in the postseason

Gwynn was a much better defender at his position, but tis hard to compare SS w RF

@Super70sSports "Who do you think you are? I am!" Never got the respect it deserved.

@HunterBiden @samc00ke Another truth-bomb by @HunterBiden

Good to see you taking the high-road with all these toxic twitter replies.

@nascarcasm It's Bobby V in the dugout shadows!

@Uc_heyy02 Do you consider Arya's ending a loss?

Felt to me like it was her preferred destiny.

[King Targaryen 🐉 @KingTargaryenn]

Hay una teoría sobre los Stark que, cada vez que la pienso, me vuela la cabeza.

Y es que George R.R. Martin podría haber escondido el destino de cada uno de ellos en sus lobos huargos desde el principio.

Lady es la más gentil de todos, y la primera en morir tras cruzar la frontera hacia el sur. Su sacrificio presagia a la perfección que Sansa jamás estaría a salvo en Desembarco del Rey, donde perdería su hogar, su libertad y la inocencia con la que dejó el Norte.

Viento Gris crece junto a Robb. Cuanto más temido se vuelve el Rey en el Norte, más feroz es su huargo. Parecen imparables, hasta que lo enjaulan y comienza a llorar, presagiando la Boda Roja.

Peludo es salvaje, agresivo e imposible de controlar. Igual que Rickon, un niño sin guía en un mundo que se derrumba. Ni su nombre es casual. Shaggydog es un término literario para una historia larga que no lleva a ninguna parte.

Nymeria sobrevive cuando nadie lo espera y lidera la mayor manada de lobos de Poniente. Igual que Arya, que siempre encuentra la forma de resistir y seguir adelante.

Verano acompaña a Bran mientras este se aleja de la vida que creía que iba a tener. Juntos se adentran en el Norte y en la magia antigua, y Bran va dejando atrás al niño que fue, y es ahí donde realmente comienza el Invierno.

Y luego está Fantasma. El único albino. El más silencioso. El que siempre va aparte, como Jon Snow. Sus ojos rojos no solo recuerdan a los Arcianos y a la magia antigua del Norte, sino al fuego que complementa su hielo.

Los huargos nunca fueron solo mascotas.

Eran profecías escritas en pelaje y colmillos desde el primer capítulo.

@RealCandaceO @LauraLoomer is gonna have a field day with this one.

Hope she films herself doing the victory dance. Perhaps the Prisyadka in your honor, @RealCandaceO
