Everyone and their dog watched the premiere episode of House of the Dragon, HBO's Game of Thrones prequel. But did you (or your dog!) catch the not-so-subtle references to the original series? Focusing on the "Age of Dragons," a period of time in Westeros when the Targaryen family reigned, House of the Dragon occurs roughly 200 years before Game of Thrones begins. The series makes note of the chronology in the opening, stating that our story begins "before the death of the mad king, Aerys, and the birth of his daughter, Princess Daenerys Targaryen." However, some fans believe that the nod wasn't meant to connect the new series to Game of Thrones, but to George R.R. Martin's original novels, A Song of Ice and Fire.

Star Trek has predicted it all: Resistance is futile; then I, Robot simply finishes off the prophecy: Artificial intelligence has won, and the age of analog is behind us. Let everything you own—and possibly even yourself, in a dystopian cyberpunk future—be enlisted in the Internet of Things. We've already started easy with smartphones and wearables like smartwatches and smart glasses. But now you're comfortable, and have likely already taken it to the next level by connecting your kitchen to the Internet. Next, you'll be ready for the final stage: Digitizing your whole house with a slew of smart home devices. |

People keep telling me not to worry about the fact that a Trump-appointed and Rick Scott-endorsed judge in Florida seems to be taking a part of the former president*'s shabby defense strategy far more seriously than its arguments warrant. At this moment, anything that throws sand in the gears of the investigation into the Pool Shed Papers is to the advantage of the former president*. And this has been his strategy toward legal accountability in both his political and business careers. Commit the act, stiff the tradesmen, pay off the porn stars—and then distract and delay the legal processes until either those processes exhaust themselves or the plaintiffs/government decide the game is not worth the candle. Anything that smacks of this M.O. sets off my weary Trumpian alarm. |
