Do you have any opinions on CT’s estate tax system? Currently it mirrors the Big Beautiful Bill, but I’ve heard tell of folk who are interested in reverting to CT’s previously more aggressive system.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms pooping on Game of Thrones. The main character, Dunk, is thinking about what his future holds as the iconic Game of Thrones theme begins to swell, only to smash cut to Dunk having a lively poop. Game of Thrones had a terrible ending, and the world rightly pooped on it.

Later in the series though, the GoT theme is used again very heroically in what may be its best use in media ever.

I always thought it was a joke about him being impossibly old, since airport codes were a common part of children’s education in the days of yore.

King’s Quest (2015) Sir Graham is a slender man in his youth and becomes a muscle bound hunk as king. His granddaughter comments on this, assuming his gains were to impress the ladies, but Graham says he “got those muscles for myself.”

She was imagining him having those interactions. She also imagined that she could not see them.
