I have a sunny disposition but I also like to rain on your parade. Working in DC. Living in Virginia (by way of Michigan).

@_fat_ugly_rat_ My first vote was for Romney (I missed eligibility in 2008 by like two weeks) but I was young enough that I hadn't really developed my political identity yet. Now, it's no question. I am sad though that I never get to say I voted for Obama.

@Zprtr1 I mean technically, Aegon III marries Jaehara, uniting the two sides, but once their son-kings die, it passes to Viserys II, now an old man, and it's from there that we get the Kot7K line. If HOTD4 mentions this somehow, it could maybe help connect the dots in the show.

@tbonier In fairness, looks like a decent chance they got her percentage right, it's just that everyone else consolidated behind Crowley last minute (not surprising, given the legendary level of twists and turns in this race, and how much of it happened while voting was beginning).

@housethedragons 3>7>2>4>1>6>5 (5 still a solid 3.5/5)

@hifromgrace Just FYI, Baela is not killed at Dragonstone (her dragon is), she survives the Dance. Just thought I'd reset your expectations since it's come up in a couple recaps now.

@AMikeBloomType 90% chance they play it on the episode and cut to the gym with either crickets or dodo music.

@MrUnionYes My guess is if they were allowed to continue with 10 episode seasons, this ep would look much different and be spread over two. But doesn't matter, I loved it anyway.

@Sam_Phalen The Wire is just a work of art. Season 3-5 are some of the best tv ever made (I know lots of people love 1 and even 2, though most of my favorite storylines, and many fav characters, are in 3-5). Sopranos is good but the characters can be exhausting.

[Stephen Drabek @SteveDrabek]

@TVietor08 Maybe it's the editing, but this is so weird that it legitimately sounds like an SNL or Onion bit.

[LeisureTime TV @Leisure_TimeTV]

Shocker. Graduates dont love AI as much as the boomers using it to replace their jobs.

Some people argue that keeping an open-mind makes it easier to believe in conspiracy theories.

But we found the exact oppposite in our newest paper.

Open-mindedness was the strongest predictor of *rejecting* conspiracy theories in a sample of 46,745 participants around the world

In particular, participants who were threatened by people who disagree with them were the most likely to believe conspiracy theories.

@admcrlsn Have we ever had a case where the "informed vote" in a poll ended up being closer to the final result than the flat horse race? All I ever hear about these is that they're worthless (other than maybe helping campaigns pinpoint what aspects to be promoting).
