R. Martin definitely has. Yeah, baby! Woo! Winter is here, it’s kind of a mess now, and I’m ready to get it the heck over with!!! Let’s do it!!!

Elsewhere, we explained Marvel Studios’ five-year plan, Facebook bumbling around trying to determine why white nationalism is bad, and interviewed the team behind Shazam.
