Link roundup

1. Shimon Peres on giving aid to poor countries: "Giving is problematic. We take money from poor people in rich countries and give it to rich people in poor countries. Aid sometimes creates corruption."

2. The US DOJ's study of sex abuse in prison apparently concluded that most of the crimes were committed by prison staff, not inmates.

3. Cute comic about Legend of Zelda.

4. Tyrion Lannister fan art by Phil Noto (NSFW).

Game of Thrones barbecue

Dinner Is Coming by Austin Madison (who has a special menu to match).

SPOILER: (BTW, if you've been watching the show, but haven't read the books, you won't miss Eddard at all. One of the delights of the books is that "major" characters are killed off constantly.)

Link roundup

1. It's not so much the sexting, but the shocking arrogance in who the congressman was following on Twitter that's surprising. I bet any enterprising journalist could have a field day looking at who star athletes follow on Twitter.

2. I love the Ned Stark is stupid meme. Seems like I've been waiting for that feeling to become popularized for years and years.

3. It's all about knowing which rules you can get away with breaking (and be willing to break).
