Because it's Christopher Lee...

I don't actually know anyone who has ever been shot at. Coincidence? I actually have been shot at. By people with slingshots. Hm, oh, I did have some form of AK-47 knock-off pointed at me once, but I was in Egypt at the time. And about 13. And climbing a pyramid. Which is apparently a no-no.

Since this is the random game thread, I'll just skip the politics and philosophy to throw this batch of webisodes about Vampyr. We've got the first somewhere here, but I don't think the rest have turned up just yet , so here ya go... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-JoQ3Vqzcc&list=PLzQNCgQ0GV7biShXITgZctYvEF6xoVD7e& https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJYxRXhyxdg&list=PLzQNCgQ0GV7biShXITgZctYvEF6xoVD7e&

I think some of the complaints are that he visited on the way to his vacation home in Mar-a-lago, and spent about 6 minutes with the actual victims, so that after being able to say to the press "yes I have met some of the victims" he got back in the motorcade and was off. I believe the timing i saw was motorcade arrived at 18:55, Trump entered. 19:15 The motorcade was pulling away and heading off. In between, he walked from the entrance up to the victims, praised the first responders, smiled, gave a thumbs up, had a small press conference, took pictures, gave more thumbs up, then moved onto the sherriffs.

And surprise, surprise... WInter is NOT coming... George R R Martin says the Winds of Winter may be delayed even further I wonder if he's decided to just troll all the audience who keep nagging at him to finish....

The Obituary that made strangers miss a man they never knew

Also, since we do tend to focus on American politics here... I did see "Very quietly today while we grieved, the House passed a bill to gut the Americans with Disability Act." Washington Post - House passes changed to Americans with Disabilities Act over activist objections
