During a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Martin was asked about his progress on the planned sixth novel in the A Song of Ice and Fire series.

According to reports, the Queen was something of a TV aficionado and loved to sit in front of a decent series after a long day!

Former BBC Radio 2 editor Phil Jones revealed that #TheQueen told him her favourite TV show.
Phil said: "I alighted on ‘What’s your favourite programme?’ Straight away she said: ‘The Kumars at No.42,’ and recited one-liners."
The show ran from 2001 to 2006.

Are you ready for some pretty disturbing #GoT content?
Apparently most fans didn't read the books... so they're only now finding out that the hotties they were lusting after were literally meant to be 14 years old.
Yes, you read that right.

Before the epic fantasy drama hit TV, the show’s creators made the decision to make specific characters older than their book counterparts.
Daenerys begins the first book aged just 13, while her husband Khal Drogo (played by Jason Momoa) is almost 30.

Jon and Robb, meanwhile, are only 14.
The realisation has (unsurprisingly) disturbed some fans of the show.
🗣‘Reading the book and knowing the ages really creeps me out,’ one commented on social media.

DRACARYS 🔥Cuando nace un Targaryen los dioses lanzan una moneda. Dementes y con dragones que escupen fuego #LaCasadelDragon Son 10 episodios (uno por semana). Se estrena este domingo a las 21:00 (HBO y HBO Max). Mis impresiones y guía tras ver algunos capítulos (hilo)👇
Hasta ahora solo conocíamos a los Targaryen vistos a través de los ojos de Daenerys, lo realmente excitante de #LaCasadelDragon es que podemos escudriñar en la dinastía y sus dinámicas de poder y locura cuando estaban en su apogeo.
Es difícil recuperarse de la última temporada de #GOT #HouseoftheDragon llega con déficit de simpatía injusto, pero entendible. Toma lugar cerca de 200 años antes del nacimiento de Daenerys. La casa Targaryen lleva en el poder siglos y lo mantiene

EL VASO QUE SE VIO COMO LA GENTE QUISO
Este error en Games of Thrones fue mundialmente conocido en el tramo final de la serie más vista en la historia de HBO, pero además de eso dejó una gran lección comunicacional:
Este error en Games of Thrones fue mundialmente conocido en el tramo final de la serie más vista en la historia de HBO, pero además de eso dejó una gran lección comunicacional:
Resulta que lo paradójico del hecho fue que, aunque el vaso pertenecía a una cafetería familiar de la localidad de Bainbridge, la audiencia global y multitudinaria lo interpretó y lo comentó en medios tradicionales y sociales 'como el vaso de Starbucks' en la serie #GOT.
Sin duda, este pudo haber sido el despegue más exponencial de una cafetería familiar, pero que el vaso fuese conocido como 'el vaso de Starbucks' anuló todo vínculo entre el error y la pequeña empresa. Más aún cuando la cadena de Estados Unidos aprovechó el "favor" en sus redes.

Vale lembrar que aqui estamos falando de uma série da vida real que já nos presenteou com 21 temporadas e só melhora.

Ein russischer Geschäftsmann bekommt eine Million Euro, um 2750 Tonnen Sprengstoff „nach Mosambik“ zu befördern.
Das Schiff lässt er nach Beirut fahren, um Ladung aufzunehmen, die zu einer Entladung des Sprengstoffs führt.
Keiner will ihn haben - außer Hisbollah.

Le terme "Barbare" définit au départ celui qui ne parle pas la langue commune, donc l’Autre.
Mais bizarrement, cet élément sera peu repris dans la création fictionnelle du Barbare, au contraire de leurs caractéristiques physiques et sociales.

TOLKIEN E O OCIDENTE -- J.R.R. #Tolkien, o autor de "O Senhor dos Anéis" (SdA), voltará às telas por um novo seriado do grupo #Amazon, que pretende aproveitar o vazio deixado pelo fim de "Game of Thrones" (na verdade, #GoT já aproveitara o vazio anterior, deixado por SdA).
Isso nos dá ocasião de refletirmos um pouco sobre a obra de Tolkien e sua influência sobre o Ocidente. Por Tolkien não foi apenas o criador de uma "mitologia pop". Na verdade, o propósito do autor era bem mais ambicioso: criar uma mitologia propriamente ocidental e católica.
Tolkien é um dos autores do chamado "renascimento católico inglês", que conta também com o Cardeal Newman (canonizado no último 13/10/2019), Chesterton, Hillaire Belloc entre outros.

#GameofThrones calls it dragonglass but it's really obsidian. It often forms when lava instantly cools from coming into contact with water. It's been used for thousands of years in jewelry, weapons and tools. It's still used in knives because it's much sharper than steel.

A weekend thought for you.
I did a video about this a couple years ago.. but “coincidences” keep happening.
Had to revisit..
There’s a chance that the creator of “The Simpsons,” Matt Groening, is a real life time traveler...
Buckle up.

It’s all so subtle.. On Episode 3 of the ninth season, titled “Lisa’s Sax,” which aired on October 19th, 1997.
For no reason at all, in the middle of the episode Marge is holding a book titled “Curious George and the Ebola Virus”
17 yrs later in 2014, Ebola took over the world

A compra da TW pela AT&T, segundo os princípios liberais, é um crime capital porque reúne sob o mesmo controlador dois grupos líderes em setores de uma mesma cadeia.

R is quickly becoming the tool of choice for data analysis in science. Lists of excellent resources to learn #rstats have been compiled in multiple places (I will mention here the amazing work of @djnavarro @MattCrump_ and of course @hadleywickham , links below) 1/6
No matter how absorbing this material is (and it truly is), it can be a bit tedious sometimes to learn everything in a very active way, reading and trying out commands or analyses in R. One complementary approach that I find extremely valuable is with #tidytuesday videos 3/6
I am very late to Game of Thrones; I just started watching over Memorial Day weekend. I am on Season 3 — no fucking spoilers, please. I have a major bone to pick with all the full frontal nudity: there is a glaring problem. Everyone’s pubic area is very well groomed.
They’ve gone to all the trouble to create realism in some aspects of this magical world with thoughtful, meticulous sets, costumes, hair and makeup. They make the hair on people‘s heads dirty and overgrown which makes sense given the time period...
...when impeccable hygiene just wasn’t possible, even for the high born. When I see not only a well manicured pubic area, but a puss that’s clearly been waxed (I’ve even seen a landing strip on one of the brothel workers), it’s totally preposterous!
It stuns me that people purporting to be Democrats or "resisters" are still devoting their time to attacking @RepAOC. This is such a blatant embrace of GOP talking points. If you don't like change, you're in the wrong party. And if you can't Google the work she's done, be quiet.
If you claim to support @SpeakerPelosi, then assume she knew what she was doing when she put @RepAOC on major committees. Here's an example of AOC's skilled takedowns on the House floor:
Here's @RepAOC as the youngest person in House history to chair the House at Pelosi's behest:
