I scrolled through 100 pages of my dash (about 16 hours worth of posts) without xkit or any form of blacklist, and I have come to the conclusion that tumblr really doesn't show you all the posts from everyone you follow if you scroll back a significant** number of pages. **I'm not sure what "significant" actually is in order for tumblr to leave things off your dashboard. 100 pages is certainly significant. The post I was looking for that was omitted was around page 70, so 70 is definitely significant. More experiments would be necessary to determine a minimum significance level.

lol me neither. it’s weird because I feel like it wasn’t that long ago that I would go to Warped Tour but I guess 7-8 years is a long time in that scene. everything is 100% different.

yeah! i mean theres a band called Front Porch Step. how is that a band name? that's not as cool as Taking Back Sunday or Good charlotte, haha. I feel like fueled by ramen bands being huge was yesterday but i guess it's sorta over.

I’m 21 and I’ve never heard of any of them either.

I guess Warped Tour just kinda isn't what it used to be. i don't know if the bands headlining are even very big. I'm guessing not because I probably would have heard their name somewhere, at least one. But it's weird when i used to care a lot about bands and now I just listen to what I've always liked.

About a week ago I questioned why the World Book described Stafford Lannister as “the eldest son and heir of Lord Tytos’s late brother, Ser Jason” when Jason’s son Damon by his previous marriage was obviously older and went on to father children.

bethablackwood was kind enough to answer my question!

[The] question was asked by someone else, here. Elio responded, saying,

Hrm, usage is straight from George, but you’re right. It seems when he went through the family tree — the final family trees were the very last thing George provided, after a lot of the text (including the Westerlands) had been locked down — he tweaked stuff, such as having Jason’s child by Alys survive and go on to marry and so on.

So what I’m taking away from this is that Stafford was not Jason’s heir, at least initially. GRRM seems to think of Stafford as Jason’s heir, though, and Damon only had one child, so I’m guessing he died in one of the wars. He probably fought in the War of the Ninepenny Kings, but if he was born in 244 (or 242), was he too young to have fathered a child by 259? 15 (or 17) years old sounds reasonable? He could have gotten his wife Ella pregnant before going away to war… hmm… you know, that would actually explain the Stafford being the heir comment, so it might not be in error. I guess I need to ask this question of Elio too?

ETA: I asked my questions here.

'the zenith of adulthood' future bestseller. Did Judith know her cheeses?

I've met few people who care enough about cheese to have as much cheese knowledge as i do...but Judith was a refreshingly competent conversation partner on the subject
