Kind of curious if anyone was able get past TikTok's self imposed ban last night. I was able to use a VPN to install the app. (I don't normaly do #tiktok.) However, with VPN, removing sim card, turning of location data, I still got blocked by the app. I browsed Romanian TikTok, no problem.

I may be a hater here, but I really don't like how they did the origin of The Voice here. I think there might be a reason I have never read Bryan Herbert.

Thanksgiving Tips:
At dinner bring up the fact that our current, November Thanksgiving Holiday was created by Lincoln in celebration of Union victories in the Civil War.
When dinner devolves into an argument about the Civil War, ask why the South seceded and wait for someone to say tariffs.

Aeron Damphair reached within himself for his god and discovered only silence. As a thousand voices shouted out his brother's name, all he could hear was the scream of a rusted iron hinge.

So, my wife and I just sat down at the kitchen table to fill out our ballots, as we have been told by many politicians that this is where hard working Americans sit down to make hard decisions. Maple decided to poop and pee in the house while we were voting.

Earlier this week I had a weird Twitteros flashback to some rando giving me a hard time for saying I didn't think Stannis was a better strategist than Ned.
Like on what basis do we think Stannis is a better strategist? His defeat at the Blackwater where he fell into Tyrion's trap?

1/* Season 2 of #ringsofpower was surprisingly better than the first season. The performances were good in season 1, but with the exception of the Elrond/Durrin/Disa plot line and the Stranger/Harfoot plot lines, which I liked, the writing for season 1 is lack luster.

Nagging thought Mark Robinson, dude, a little opsec? I'm not talking ninja hacker stuff. I don't even sign up to social media accounts with an email that is directly traceable to my phone anymore. Just saying, if you are a political candidate surfing porn, maybe use a VPN?
