Moin, ihr Lieben!☕🍀

@quip_witted @CountDraculaDB Yes. That's the joke. 🙄

@CountDraculaDB *chuckles* Oscar Wilde died in 1900, some forty years before Anita Bryant was born, so there's no way his play could have been about her. What a fool Price must have felt when he realised his mistake!

If you did know... In 1977, Vincent Price portrayed the openly gay Oscar Wilde in a one-man show titled Diversions and Delights. The production drew sharp criticism from anti-gay campaigner Anita Bryant. When questioned about her condemnation, Price quipped that Oscar Wilde had already written a play about Anita: “A Woman of No Importance.”

@JuedischeWitze Ach,wäre das schön 🤩

Eilmeldung: Die #Sonderberichterstatterin der Vereinten Nationen #UN für die besetzten palästinensischen Gebiete Francesca Albanese wurde nach einem erneuten unsäglichen Auftritt in einem Kino in Berlin-Mitte ihres Amtes von António Guterres persönlich enthoben. Die Entgleisung waren selbst ihm zu hart.

@FbmLehmann @Asterix_Archiv Isch weisch nischt, wo dieschesch Aleschia liegt! 😡😂

@Asterix_Archiv Gallia es omnes devisa in partes tres. Wir sind aber damals noch nicht mal bis Alesia gekommen. 🙂

Kürzungen bei Latein als Schulfach? Na, das ist doch nicht so schlimm. 65 Prozent aller Lateinkenntnisse stammen aus #Asterix. Will nur niemand zugeben. Für euch recherchiert.

@JSamwise I'm so angry he absolutely forgets he's fighting for Tyrion's life! He had already won, but he had to go on boasting instead of putting an end to Clegane.

Oberyn's presence in King's Landing is driven by a quest for justice for his sister and her children, specifically seeking the dẹath of Gregor Clegane and an admission of guilt from Tywin. This obsession with justice over a quick kill ultimately leads to his gruesome death, leaving the Martell blood debt tragically unpaid.

@etzelbeg @HOTDNewsHBO Just cut out the tongues of his sailors 😚

@HOTDNewsHBO Euron was disgusting but was a plain old pirate. At least he was honest about his dreams and desires.

Who is the least evil?

@JSamwise Same vibes 🤭

This moment cemented Daario Naharis as the ultimate smooth-talking savage. ⚔️ While every other knight wanted a formal duel, Daario brought a knife to a horse fight and ended it in seconds. ​The way he casually stands his ground, drops the champion with one flick of the wrist. It’s easily one of the coldest, most "don’t blink or you’ll miss it" displays of skill in the whole series.

@SamaHoole I used to Tell this to my pupils, remembering it from my own English book at school. They were generally fascinated. It's so helpful for learners to be told about reasons.

1066, William the Conqueror takes England. Within a generation, something subtle happens to the English language that reveals everything about who eats what. The Anglo-Saxon peasants tend the animals. They use their words: cow, pig, sheep, deer, calf. These are the living animals they care for daily but rarely eat. When those animals are slaughtered and cooked, they arrive at Norman tables with French names: beef (boeuf), pork (porc), mutton (mouton), venison (venaison), veal (veau). The pattern is perfect. Peasants speak Anglo-Saxon to the living animals they raise. Nobility speak French to the cooked meat they consume. The language literally divided animal husbandry from meat consumption along class lines. You could be English and raise a cow your entire life while calling the meat from that cow by a French word you'd never taste. This wasn't linguistic evolution. This was linguistic enforcement of who eats and who watches. The Norman nobility needed the English to keep raising livestock. They just didn't need them eating it. The language boundary made this clear: your words for the living animal, our words for the food. 900 years later, we still use their system. You still say "beef" not "cow meat" because the Normans won and the linguistic division of labor they created never left. Every time you order beef instead of cow, you're speaking the language of a class system designed to separate herders from meat-eaters. The animals were always English. The food was always French. And the peasants always knew which side of that divide they were on.

@kexy_payn He had chances before this. But it took really seeing Sansa in mortal danger for his brain to finally break the thrall.

Everyone can feel how painful, that decision was for Theon 🥺

@GenPen08 One of the scenes I always watch a few times. 🤩

One of the most satisfying deaths in Game of Thrones

@JSamwise The way Trant meets his end at the hands of Arya is Well deserved.

I wish Cersei had delayed coming out. I would have loved to see Bronn and Meryn Trant fight deadly. There’s nothing more dangerous than a sellsword with a point to prove. Trant thought he was untouchable behind his white cloak, but Bronn would have carved through that arrogance in seconds. Cersei didn't just interrupt a fight; she saved her knight from a very messy end.

Be honest… what’s your favorite Harry Potter character? ⤵️

@JSamwise @DamnItAzriel Three-Eyed Raven or not - I wish they had made Bran more likeable.

@DamnItAzriel Yeah, it really hurt watching her sacrifice everything and just get a cold 'thank you'. Meera deserved so much better.

Poor Meera definitely deserved better 😢💔 She was the hardest-working person in Westeros with the worst benefits package.

@JSamwise Much worse: in the end, when everything should have changed, the Archmaester's book about the Great War doesn't even mention him. Again. Some Things never change 😔

While Tyrion Lannister was the only one actually working to save King’s Landing, the city chose to label him a twisted demon monkey. It’s one of those moments that really makes you root for Tyrion because, despite his family's wealth, he is an underdog in the eyes of society. ​It’s the ultimate proof that in the Game of Thrones, cruelty sells better than competence. Tyrion’s wit survived the insults, but did the people even deserve his protection? Or was the city's eventual downfall just karma for how they treated their sharpest mind? ... And Bronn didn't make life easy for Tyrion any bit🤣🤣

@JSamwise At least, this once her insufferable smug grin is wiped from her face 😈

Though Cersei was terrified of the undeåd solider, she saw the Great War as an opportunity to eliminate her rivals. Her choice was cold but strategic. Her plan was simple: let her enemies destroy each other. By staying behind, she hoped the Night King would wipe out Jon and Daenerys’s armies. This would leave her with the only fresh, full-strength military in Westeros. To Cersei, holding the Iron Throne was more important than saving humanity; she was willing to gamble the world to ensure she remained on top.

@JoshDaWay It will be worth waiting, I promise 😈

Sooo I recently started #GOT… im still in season 1…. how Long I gotta deal with this lil degenerate??? Cuz Im already over it I NEED HIM GONE NOW

@JSamwise They're beginning to become an awesome Team.

This is the moment Arya Stark truly shed the skin of a helpless girl and stepped into the cold world of a killer. Luring the Frey soldiers with Jaqen’s coin, she didn't strike out of fear, but out of a dark, visceral hunger for vengeance. While the Hound’s brutal intervention saved her life, his warning to "tell him next time" officially inducted her into his violent reality.

@JSamwise Catelyn had quite a knack for making the wrong decision. Everything she does worsens the Situation.

Stannis was the only one who truly honored Ned Stark’s sacrifice. While Renly played king for the cameras, he was committing treason against his own blood. Ned died for the law, and the law pointed to Stannis. ​The real tragedy? Catelyn was on the wrong side, too. By backing Renly’s charm over the legal heir, she betrayed the very principles Ned gave his life for. If the Starks and Baratheons had just followed the law instead of their egos, the Lannisters would have been crushed.

@JSamwise It's Bran who tells him to tell Jon about his true identity, in the following scene. Which points again to a completely different ending.

In this heart-wrenching scene, a moment of gratitude turns into a cold-blooded revelation. Daenerys thanks Samwell Tarly for saving Ser Jorah’s life, only to calmly admit she executed Sam’s father and brother by dragonfire. The shift from warmth to horror is jarring; while Sam saved the man she loved, she destroyed the family he held dear. This confrontation is the ultimate turning point. Sam’s grief transforms into a quest for justice, pushing him to reveal Jon Snow’s true heritage. It’s a tragic masterclass in irony that shatters the heroic image of the Dragon Queen.

@MonsterDeeeee @MAGACult2 Oh, dont be ridiculous! 🙄

@MAGACult2 Poor guy. He looks like he has Parkinson's disease. Probably from the vaccine. So many people have Parkinson's and dementia from vaccines😞

Jessie Ventura just called Donald Trump a dictator. “We are a Third World country now. You wanna read something? Then read your history of Germany and start comparing.” We are not joking, we are not facetious, this is not hyperbolic.

@HOTDNewsHBO Fanatic

Describe him with 1 word.
