Tim explains he can only be friends with people who accept society is doomed, then returns to Game of Thrones criticism, lamenting how Tyrion has been written into a stupid, sentimental shell of his former scheming self.
- Tim won't have lunch with optimists who think the ship can be turned around; he considers them mentally ill if they ignore the evidence of decline.
- Twitter activists claim compassion but haven't spoken to their own brother in a year—full of performative nonsense.
- People believe they are who they claim to be on social media just because they retweeted an article or posted something virtuous.
- Modern mob culture tries to destroy careers over a single mistake or flaw; no one is allowed to be human anymore.
- Social justice warriors are like the zealot faction in Game of Thrones—a purity cult that took over the city.
- Tyrion is Tim's favorite Game of Thrones character, but the recent season has completely destroyed him.
- Tyrion used to be fun to watch—a smart, scheming dwarf who drank wine and slept with women—but now he's stupid and boring.
- Tim wants Tyrion's head kicked off because he suddenly cares about people and makes terrible decisions instead of scheming.
