@1jcmaxwell “What was Aragorn’s tax policy?” to this day is one of the most annnoying and yet boring questions I’ve ever heard.

Wow Martin seems to have zero grasp on literary escapism.

George R.R. Martin explains how his Game of Thrones characters wielding power badly is his answer to Tolkien: "Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles? Real-life kings had real-life problems to deal with. Just being a good guy was not the answer. You had to make hard, hard decisions. Sometimes what seemed to be a good decision turned around and bit you in the ass; it was the law of unintended consequences. I’ve tried to get at some of these in my books. My people who are trying to rule don’t have an easy time of it. Just having good intentions doesn’t make you a wise king." What do you think Tolkien would have thought about such comments?

@HistoryBuffs_ Not meaning to be offensive, but can someone who has watched this tell me if it’s just 2 hours of endlessly listing historical inaccuracies despite it being a film?

@rclark98 @IGN Funnily enough RDR2 came out a few days after my eldest was born, I’ve got really fond memories of being up with her through the night, holding her while she slept while I played with headphones on.

I love this country. It is the greatest country in the world. We are tolerant, decent and respectful – and unity is our strength. But for too long, proud communities have been failed by politics and left powerless to do anything about it. Our Pride in Place programme changes that. We are giving people the power to build up their communities. We’ve already invested thousands into communities across Britain. Now, we are giving thousands more the opportunity to transform their local area. Putting local people in control and building a Britain that works for all.

In a statement, Mandelson said he had written this evening to Labour Party general secretary, Hollie Ridley. "I have been further linked this weekend to the understandable furore surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and I feel regretful and sorry about this. “Allegations which I believe to be false that he made financial payments to me 20 years ago, and of which I have no record or recollection, need investigating by me. “While doing this, I do not wish to cause further embarrassment to the Labour Party and I am therefore stepping down from membership of the party. “I want to take this opportunity to repeat my apology to the women and girls whose voices should have been heard long before now. “I have dedicated my life to the values and success of the Labour Party and in taking my decision, I believe I am acting in its best interests."

Finland had Russian children strapped to chairs so their blood could be drained and sent to the front lines for Finnish and German soldiers, particularly within the Petrozavodsk network of concentration camps. These children were forced to sit bound to chairs, eating and defecating in place, while their blood was repeatedly extracted until they eventually died.

One of RDR2’s downsides are the lack of immersion caused by non-killable NPCs. I hope Rockstar lets us shoot at every NPC in GTA 6, no matter the age.

Nottingham Forest@NFFC·
Nottingham Forest Football Club wishes to express its deepest concern and heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by the shocking attack on an LNER train bound for London yesterday evening. Many of our London-based supporters were travelling home on that train following our match at the City Ground, and our thoughts are very much with everyone caught up in such a distressing incident. The Club is aware that many individuals demonstrated extraordinary bravery which undoubtedly helped prevent even greater harm. The entire Nottingham Forest family stands firmly behind them as they recover from the events of yesterday. Evangelos Marinakis, Nottingham Forest’s owner, said: “Everyone at Nottingham Forest is shocked and deeply saddened by what happened. The courage and selflessness shown by our supporters on that train represents the very best of humanity and the very best of our club’s community. “We will make sure any supporter caught up in this incident receives whatever financial support they require to enable them to access the best possible medical care as they recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.”

@RupertLowe10 The midwife was there to provide care for my wife, who was having the baby. I shouldn’t be in the equation, I am perfectly capable of going and buying my own fucking food from the shop and sitting in a chair while I watch my wife in agony.

Giving birth is obviously an incredibly challenging experience for the mother - trust me, nobody is denying that. I do think though, that fathers should be shown more respect by the NHS during the whole process. No food provided, no basic bedding, nothing. The father is having a child too - potentially staying multiple nights, sleeping on the floor or a chair? If the NHS can find hundreds of millions for translation/interpretation and the rest of the diversity bullshit, then surely a few campbeds in each ward isn't such an impossible investment? A bowl of pasta for the dad, who does actually pay for that meal through his own taxes? I've asked the Department of Health to reconsider their approach. It would be nice if fathers weren't treated as some awkward afterthought, during the process and so often across wider society. Let's give dads the respect they deserve.

Allegations regarding Prince Andrew’s past relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein are placing growing pressure on the Royal Family. Now, a media outlet has said "the whole House of Windsor is rotten to the core” So is it time to abolish the monarchy?
