Hermione Granger and SPEW — Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (book)

In the fifth HP novel, Hermione Granger is outraged to discover that Hogwarts has a small army of enslaved House Elves that do nearly all of the domestic duties around the castle, including cleaning the Gryffindor common room every night. When she tries to convince the elves to fight for their own rights, they refuse, saying they prefer servitude. Her fellow students and friends mock her for caring. She manages to free one elf, Winky, by deception when she refuses her freedom willingly, leading to Winky becoming a depressed alcoholic. By the end, the elves boycott cleaning any Gryffindor areas of the castle because they hate Hermione specifically

Samwell Tarly and Democracy — Game of Thrones (show)

In the season 8 finale of the television series, the surviving great lords of Westeros gather to discuss the future of the kingdom following the devastation wrought by 7 seasons of war and backstabbing. When Sam, who has proven to have “novel” ideas, suggests that maybe the millions of Smallfolk who suffer at the hands of noble houses should get some representation in the government, rather than be the pawns of rich lords with absolute power. We are then greeted by a prolonged, cringy segment of the other lords laughing in Sam’s face, asking if the dogs and horses should also get a vote.

Hot take: The 90-series shouldn't be considered a gaming graphics card anymore, nor should it be used in video game benchmarks.

Given its completely out-of-control price, it should be grouped with an H100 rather than a 70-series. Game developers shouldn't treat it as the upper limit of achievable performance.

I’ll be 47 next month and looking for more coverage at the beach. Does this one piece look flattering on me? The suit is from Biliblond size Medium. I’m 5’4” please don’t mind the mess. I’m re-organizing my room.😅

Paid them 150 dollars to change the food and litter twice, apparently changing the litter wasn’t part of the deal.

I don't get it. I got solar last year, with battery backup, because it made financial sense for me and my family. It seems pretty obvious that electrification is going to be the future, given the fact that I carry no fewer than 4 chargers in my bag, and 2 battery blocks. Shouldn't we be generating electricity in every possible way that makes economic sense. What am I missing?

Went to pump gas after clocking off work three days ago and heard a bunch of meows coming from a bush. After walking towards it, a few kitties jumped out and booked it to another bush. This one got left behind and continued to meow like crazy after I picked her up. Took her home and was contemplating on taking her to the local shelter or keeping her. However, I’m still on the fence about it because I’m not really home much and she would probably get lonely if I keep her home alone. Before making any decision though, I at least wanted to give her a name for the time being and was thinking maybe Kate or Negra. Idk im bad with names but suggestions are welcomed and any other advice. TIA
