George R. R. Martin & Stephen King at the Kiva Auditorium, Albuquerque NM (June 2016)
"You just have these sick ideas - and George has written his share, believe me - and instead of going to a shrink and paying the shrink we write them and you pay us. Pretty good deal."

Samuel R. Delaney - Racism and Science Fiction
"I believe I first heard Harlan Ellison make the point that we know of dozens upon dozens of early pulp writers only as names: They conducted their careers entirely by mail—in a field and during an era when pen-names were the rule rather than the exception. Among the “Remmington C. Scotts” and the “Frank P. Joneses” who litter the contents pages of the early pulps, we simply have no way of knowing if one, three, or seven or them—or even many more—were not blacks, Hispanics, women, native Americans, Asians, or whatever. Writing is like that."

NASA | Thermonuclear Art – The Sun In Ultra-HD
"It’s always shining, always ablaze with light and energy that drive weather, biology and more. In addition to keeping life alive on Earth, the sun also sends out a constant flow of particles called the solar wind, and it occasionally erupts with giant clouds of solar material, called coronal mass ejections, or explosions of X-rays called solar flares. These events can rattle our space environment out to the very edges of our solar system. In space, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, keeps an eye on our nearest star 24/7. SDO captures images of the sun in 10 different wavelengths, each of which helps highlight a different temperature of solar material. In this video, we experience SDO images of the sun in unprecedented detail. Presented in ultra-high definition, the video presents the dance of the ultra-hot material on our life-giving star in extraordinary detail, offering an intimate view of the grand forces of the solar system."

Test Dept./Brith Gof - Gododdin (Act II) - Gwyr A Aeth Gatraeth
Warriors went to Catraeth with the dawn,
Their ardours shortened their lives,
They drank mead, yellow, sweet, ensnaring,
For a year many a minstrel was joyful.

Why We Shouldn't Hate The High Sparrow
"People seem to hate on the High Sparrow, mainly because most of us today don't like religious zealots, as this has been a main issue of controversy in past decades. But if we judge the religious leader of the Westerosi church by our own standards, we should judge the other characters the same way. And which of the noble heroes of the realm is just by 21st century morals? Ned? Jaime? Tyrion? None of them.
"We should understand the Sparrow movement as a result of a corrupt feudal system that is built on violence and exploitation. So in that regard, the High Sparrow is more just than most - if not all - the other characters."
