The important thing in this report is that there is a tape. Someone wanted to obstruct justice in the case of Michael Flynn and is now in a Nixonian He-Said-He-Said bind. And the judge in this case clearly knows it. Watergate taught us that tapes makes a difference. We may now be in a very different place.

In the books and in the TV show, it's made pretty clear that no one on Euron Greyjoy's ship, The Silence, can speak because he's cut out their tongues. Often referred to as "mutes and mongrels" in the books, Euron cuts out the tongues of the men he's spared during his pirate raids and makes them part of his crew. He does this so they can't challenge him or attempt to mutiny against him. This is mentioned in the show in both Season Eight and Season Seven. But that's not how things seemed in Episode Five.

Or maybe someone who just wants some cool new shoes, and is ready to see what's on offer? Any which way, there's a lot to love. Check it out.

It's not exactly cheap: The 14 oz. version, which holds the two-cupper she makes every morning, costs $130. The smaller, 10 oz. mug costs $80 (and it comes in white, too). But Ember uses patented tech to keep coffee heated until the very end. To her, that's worth it.

I knew it had been accused of Hollywood gun pornography, yet I still accepted it as it was: entertainment—nothing more than a popcorn action film. But, in this viewing with the very real-life effects of gun violence fresh on my mind, it was impossible to treat this film as escapism.
