I really appreciate that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episodes are around 30 minutes long!

Knight of the seven kingdoms latest episode had me screaming at the tv… thanks a lot #grrm we can’t have anything nice

Unfinished joke.
HBO should make a deal with Dunkin' Donuts for the new Game of Thrones series for a menu item called Dunkin' Egg. Someone will figure out what is being dipped in what.

I see that GRRM is having a laugh, claiming that those complaining about the Winds of Winter delays have given up on him. Nah, mate. That happened after the first decade of 'the book is almost done.'

CW: Live toot announcement - Beauty and the Beast (1987) S2E4 "Dead of Winter"
Approximately every week on Mondays at 1PM EST/EDT (~1 hour and 44 minutes from now), I live toot an episode of a television show from @HabitatRing . Now, I'm live tooting Beauty and the Beast (1987), an urban fantasy show placed in and below the streets of New York City. Beauty and the Beast is an award-winning show starring Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman.
This week's episode, Dead of Winter, was written by George R.R. Martin. The Movie Database's episode summary is:
Winterfest is a celebration of great importance to those who live below. This is Catherine's first Winterfest. But this year Winterfest is interrupted by Paracelsus.
The phenomenal Tony Jay reprises his role as the villainous Paracelsus. Joseph Campanella returns as Dr. Peter Alcott. Beah Richards returns as Narcissa.

I refuse to watch anything #GRRM related until he finishes those damn books.

Some people cite J.R.R. Tolkien as the opposite of George R.R. Martin when it comes to finishing books. Which is funny if you actually know anything about Tolkien.
These people mistakenly think that Lord of the Rings is a trilogy just because it often gets printed in three volumes. LOTR is of course the sequel to The Hobbit and there were seventeen years between these publications.
The rest of Tolkien's Middle Earth books were published after his death, many in a series appropriately titled Unfinished Tales.
If you actually want an example of an author of a fantasy series with an impressive output then Robin Hobb should be on top of the list. Between 1995 and 2017 she published 16 books in her Realm of the Elderlings series.

TIL that George R. R. Martin has a miniature collecting web page that covers lead rot.
https://georgerrmartin.com/for-fans/knights/comments-on-collecting/#lead
He summarized Bert Caldwell’s article in TOY SOLDIER AND MODEL FIGURE #13.
Causes; humidity and poor air circulation
Solution to stop it; 50/50 turpentine and mineral oil
I mixed some up and doused some recent eBay buys that had a light white dusting. Now I wait a week for them to dry and I'll try primer on them. -
Wait a second, are they really making a tv show out of Dunk and Egg?!

I learned to type on an actual typewriter. One of the things I got used to was putting two spaces after a period. I think I got rid of that habit in around 2009.
As I was reading George R.R. Martin's latest blog I got distracted by the number of spaces he uses after periods. He isn't satisfied with just one extra space like I was used to do. At one point he uses five spaces after a period and twice he has two spaces after a comma.
I wonder if he adds an extra space each time he stops to think about how to phrase the next sentence.

A few days ago #GeorgeRRMartin promised to address what had been bothering him about season 2 of #HouseOfTheDragon. In a blogpost from earlier today he did just that. Now that post has been removed.

Oh no, George had to FILL OUT A FORM? To propose a panel? And he might be rejected? Golly gosh. What a terrible thing for him to have to go through. Thoughts and prayers, George. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/17/game-of-thrones-writers-dismay-as-he-is-frozen-out-of-glasgow-sci-fi-event-worldcon #worldcon #grrm

Hey #GeorgeRRMartin, what are your thoughts on parents giving twins cute matching names?
Oh, I see.

Well, “Sean” (@flyingwalruss.bsky.social) spotted this on #GRRM weblog and thinks that GRRM may have finished “Winds of Winter” (I assume “book 1”).
A reply to his post notes the _W_ords _O_f _W_isdom bit.
I’m gonna say I’m half amused/curious to see how different the ending is from the clusterfuck that was the TV show, which was so bad that it pretty much destroyed the entire cultural impact that GOT had achieved.

There are regular posts on #Reddit about whether #LLMs (so-called #AI) could generate the last (long delayed) two books of #GeorgeRRMartin's #ASongOfIceAndFire. It is a nonsense idea.
Once I wrote a reply outlying some of reasons this was impossible. These guessing machines have no understanding of plot, character, motivations etc. It simply makes no sense.
I got a reply from someone who claimed I was using "magic words". I checked their profile and they seemed mostly to be arguing about this subject. I think one if their sub-Reddits was called "Artist Hate" or something similar. They did not seem to be a reader +or an enjoyer of art in general).

There is a rumor going around regarding the longawaited sixth book in the #ASongOfIceAndFire, the original books that #GameIfThrones is based on.
The claim is that #GeorgeRRMartin (or an assistant) ordered a dragon shaped cake and casually mentioned that this was to celebrate the publication of the much delayed book.
I do believe that #GRRM might order a dragon cake. But...
a) there are numerous reasons he might do so
b) and I don't think it likely that he (or anyone close to him) would casually mention the new book. -
Whoa, I had no idea Dunk and Egg short stories are going to have screen adaptations.
Apparently GRRM is very excited about the two eponymous characters having been cast: https://georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2024/04/09/casting-dunk-egg/

Hey, the Global Operations Team could really use some help with the fan effort to keep the A Game of Thrones card game running after the company ended publication.
If you could be of any help please apply, even if you don't know the game well, we could still use more folks in organization and communication.

GRRM provides a few more details about the KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS adaptation, including the fact that a full season (likely 6 episodes) has been ordered by HBO. He also calls attention to one of my big concerns: the Dunk and Egg stories aren't finished yet!
Check out everything GRRM has to say here:

I've started watching #Nightflyers on #Netflix. It's clear this #ScienceFiction series is based on a #GRRM novella; I'm 2 episodes in and already several characters have been killed off 🤔🤣
