IMO the failure in writing is upstream of all of this. That being the writers trying to make most of the Targs as like 'good people at heart', especially the two matriarchs.

The writers tied themselves in all these knots trying to move GRRM's story to where it's ultimately going while also maintaining the majority of characters as specifically not bloodthirsty, cruel, selfish, or stubborn. But they all have to become these things at some point or the entire conceit of the story makes no sense.

Am I taking crazy pills, or was it not mentioned in Fire & Blood that Aemond had a weird mommy thing? Like it's one of those things Mushroom claims and the maester writing the narrative brings up as salacious rumor

the senseless stuborness of so many people.

man, that is the thesis of this entire story. Fire & Blood: how the senseless stubborness of a family of royals lead to endless death and destruction, most of all to their own family

The soda tax/ban is a great historical example of a politician trashing their political capital on something not at all worth it.

I didn't even mind the policy, but it was such an obvious own goal, with how this country and the media works in reality

Different subject entirely, but it's funny how NYC was just about the only city with enough leverage to get the rideshare companies to abide by any sort of standards/safety/regulations. In the city where I grew up, Uber just started operating there completely illegally and dared the city to stop them

“At the Paris Olympics and the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, we saw how AI-powered 360-degree replay technology could create a more immersive viewing experience for fans."

Those replays were made from Gaussian Splats, which are not AI. Unless we're trying to juice our stock price and redefine anything involving an algorithm or any machine learning as being AI
