listen to your fucking mother
#seriously #if robb listened to catelyn #and if joffery listened to cersei #basically everything would be better #for everyone
And if Jon Snow listened to…
…oh.

Seriously considering inviting these folks back into my life. I have it on good authority that there’s an excellent new leading character in the new season, and I think I could just about handle this show now.
Main concerns:
Thom Shanker for the New York Times:
The suspect, Sgt. First Class Michael McClendon, faces charges under four articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for indecent acts, dereliction in the performance of duty, cruelty and maltreatment, and actions prejudicial to good order and discipline. Sergeant McClendon, who had been assigned to the school since 2009, was transferred to Fort Drum, N.Y., after charges were filed on May 14, Army officials said.
During his tenure at West Point, Sergeant McClendon served as a “tactical noncommissioned officer,” described in academy personnel documents as a staff adviser “responsible for the health, welfare and discipline” of a company of 125 cadets. The person in the position is expected to “assist each cadet in balancing and integrating the requirements of physical, military, academic and moral-ethical programs.”
I comfort myself with the idea that we’re hearing about it more not because it’s happening more, but because it’s becoming less acceptable and so it’s reported more. But I may be lying to myself.
I’m not obligated to respect Moffat just because I like Doctor Who!
(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
I am allowed to say I think his writing is repetitive and full of plotholes with poor development of characters and relationships! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
I am allowed to say I think his writing is terribly sexist! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
It’s because I am a fan of Doctor Who that I am so upset about Moffat’s lazy, sexist writing! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧*:・゚✧

ATTN SciFi Hall: does this man look familiar to you?

Over the last decade, as companies chased after an effective chemical, there was fretting within the drug industry: what if, in trials, a medicine proved too effective? More than one adviser to the industry told me that companies worried about the prospect that their study results would be too strong, that the F.D.A. would reject an application out of concern that a chemical would lead to female excesses, crazed binges of infidelity, societal splintering.
“You want your effects to be good but not too good,” Andrew Goldstein, who is conducting the study in Washington, told me. “There was a lot of discussion about it by the experts in the room,” he said, recalling his involvement with the development of Flibanserin, “the need to show that you’re not turning women into nymphomaniacs.” He was still a bit stunned by the entrenched mores that lay within what he’d heard. “There’s a bias against — a fear of creating the sexually aggressive woman.”

Gee, you ever think that might be part of the problem? That there’s a societally acceptable level of lady-boning?

I mean singling out Daisy as The Worst Character in Gatsby is kinda weird when her husband is a white supremacist who beats his mistress.
Plus there’s all the criminals.
