I’m finding Game of Thrones to be majestically dull
Even the music is turgid.

It sounds like gngghghghgjgh gngghghghgjgh gngghghghgjgh
Can’t remember when I last found it emotionally engaging

Dany and Jon Snow are so 😴

It’s like Game of Thrones Assemble - every character gets their scene but nobody gets time to develop
Honestly I’m watching it out of duty but I have no idea to who or what
I wish formally to apologise for the offence caused by me contributing to the ‘why I don’t like Game of Thrones but am watching it anyway’ Twitter genre

You didn’t ask for it, nobody wanted it and I shouldn’t have done it

I am checking myself in to grumbling re-education

This is quite a story - a Holocaust denial film was apparently written, edited, produced and published by Al Jazeera before a public outcry led to it being taken down. The two journalists are apparently being ‘disciplined’
The full statement is linked here
Here is the tweet which accompanied the video (was in Arabic so I’m relying on others’ translation)

If you are worried about free speech implications of Islamophobia the best thing to do is the carefully define the term, with illustrative examples, and agree that definition.

That's what @APPGBritMuslims is admirably trying to do. The govt should work with not against them
@APPGBritMuslims I have tried to see this from govt's perspective - perhaps they are genuinely worried about free speech implications of the @APPGBritMuslims definition, of the wording ("Muslimness" perhaps not the simplest expression), of the association with racism (which for me makes sense...)
... but the way they approached @APPGBritMuslims's work seems disrespectful and high-handed. Why not go back with comments and concerns and see if they can work together? Why appoint their own experts? I can see why people in the Muslim communities see it as a kick in the teeth

I’ll be honest, I can’t sing in tune when walking down the stairs either #Eurovision
Or up
Or on any flat surface

THREAD: As #GameOfThrones is doing a less than stellar job of executing their endgame, I just want to revisit all my favourite #ASOIAF metas which, unlike the show, manage to successfully examine the complex stories GRRM is trying to tell with his characters. #GOT
UNTANGLING THE MEEREENESE KNOT by Adam Feldman who, according to GRRM, “gets it” - This essay takes you through #Daenerys’ entire journey — from the politics of Meereen to “Dragons plant no trees” — towards her fully embracing “fire and blood”: meereeneseblot.wordpress.com/2013/09/27/unt…
DAUGHTER OF DEATH by @arhythmetric - #Daenerys as a tragic Shakespearean hero. This essay is pretty dense, but draws AMAZING parallels between #Dany and the likes of Macbeth, Hamlet, Lear and Othello: themanyfacedblog.wordpress.com/2019/04/19/dau…

salon.com/2019/05/13/gam… Don’t be shocked by the latest turn from #Daenerys on #Game of Thrones. They’ve literally been signaling her heel turn since the very first season.
Remember back in season 1, when Khal Drogo said he would "rape their women, take their children as slaves and bring their broken gods back to Vaes Dothrak" and Dany looked at him like she's never been hornier?

I mean, you can't say this wasn't coming.
Remember how the dragons were born, by burning Mirri Maz Durr alive? That's who Dany is: Someone who takes a slave and when the slave resists, she literally murders them horribly. She has never apologized for that or shown any regret.

Super interesting piece in l'Équipe on how men's tennis is on the brink of implosion and open warfare between Slams, the ITF and the ATP (sub only) - I'll try and translate what I think is most interesting - Tennis abonnes.lequipe.fr/Tennis/Article…
"According to our information, the 3 million (US millions, milliard or thousand millions in the rest of the world) from promised by Piqué are only guaranteed up to 52 million. ... worrying."
"Until otherwise proven, there is a hidden war between the ATP and the ITF. There's no love lost between the ITF and the Slams. And the Slams aren't a united front: Wimbledon has always done what it wanted and Tennis Australia finances World Team Cup for its own financial gain."
