All 30 "Game Of Thrones" Episodes Ranked From Worst To Best
Dragons and death are a plus! Torture and tedium are not. SPOILERS ahead!
“Dark Wings, Dark Words”
Season 3, Episode 2
Directed by: Daniel Minahan
Written by: Vanessa Taylor
Watching Game of Thrones is like drinking wine — even when it's not that good, it still does the trick. That said, the "bad" GoT episodes are the ones that are preoccupied with checking in with all the disparate characters scattered across Westeros and beyond the Shivering Sea, advancing each story barely an inch in the process. When the the show's critics call it a sprawling tangle of too many characters spread far too thin, these are episodes they're talking about.
The worst offender of this lot is the second episode of what was otherwise a sterling season. Over the course of an hour, we keep hopping from Sansa to Joffrey to Cersei to Margaery to Tyrion to Jon to Samwell to Bran to Theon to Robb to Catelyn to Arya to Brienne and Jaime, and there are exactly two mildly compelling scenes between them: Sansa's introduction to the Queen of Thorns (the perfectly cast Diana Rigg), and Catelyn's confession about her feelings toward Jon Snow. (Until they got caught, I found Brienne and Jaime's bantering to be mostly just annoying.)
But neither scene can make up for the grind of tiny setups, especially of my two least favorite GoT story lines ever. The first: the endless mystery of Bran's three-eyed crow and introduction of the obnoxiously cryptic Jojen. The second: the seemingly senseless captivity and torture of Theon. And so it plops with a thud at the bottom of this list.
HBO
"The Ghost of Harrenhal"
Season 2, Episode 5
Directed by: David Petrarca
Written by: David Benioff & D. B. Weiss
Again, soooo much tedious setup of so many story lines, including Jon Snow's endless trudging through Iceland/I mean the land beyond the Wall; Daenerys' wild and wacky adventures in Qarth; and, yup, more of Bran's blasted three-eyed crow. On the other hand: Jaqen H'ghar makes his first kill!
HBO
"The Prince of Winterfell"
Season 2, Episode 8
Directed by: Alan Taylor
Written by: David Benioff & D. B. Weiss
At first, I thought I'd put this episode in the worst-ever slot, mainly because the only thing I could remember about it was the pointless scene of Dany complaining that she wanted to find her missing dragons — the perfect example of GoT's bad habit of needlessly checking in with every single character.
But then I re-watched it, and I realized that amid Theon whining about honor, Jon continuing to trudge through the snow, and Robb courting certain doom by boinking Talisa after she tells the story of a slave saving her brother's life, there were some fun Tyrion scenes with Bronn, Cersei, and Varys. So: It's just third worst!
HBO
"Lord Snow"
Season 1, Episode 3
Directed by: Brian Kirk
Written by: David Benioff & D. B. Weiss
This episode had the unenviable job of introducing a gaggle of new and important characters — including Renly, Varys, Pycelle, and Littlefinger — with little time to dwell on any of them. It's the ultimate "setup" episode, really...and for that, it must be punished!

Fake School Shooting On April Fools' Day Gets College Employee Arrested
Angela Timmons texted her daughter that she “could hear gun shots being fired inside the school.”
A South Carolina mom's April Fools' Day prank went awry when she was arrested for pretending that there was a shooting at the college where she works.
Angela Timmons, 54, who works at Virginia College in Greenville, allegedly texted her daughter, "could hear gun shots being fired inside the school."
Timmons' daughter frantically called 911 and told them, "My mother works at Virginia College and she just called me saying that they're hiding in a file cabinet office because there are gunshots on campus."
The 911 call can be heard at MyFoxPhilly.com.
Sheriff Chuck Wright said he was expecting the worst while rushing to the school. "On the way over there I’m thinking Columbine High School, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, and I could name more," he said.
Wright added, "My deputies they were there in super fast time and were ready, were ready to deal with whatever they saw, and I’m proud of them."

Chris Brown In Custody Of U.S. Marshals
The singer is expected to be transported to Washington, D.C., to stand trial for the alleged assault of a man outside a hotel in October 2013.
U.S. Marshals told BuzzFeed that the singer Chris Brown is in custody. He will be brought to Washington, D.C., to stand trial for the assault of a man outside a hotel last year.
The incident occurred when Brown was in town for a party at Howard University as a part of the school's homecoming celebration. He was initially charged with a felony, but it was later downgraded to a misdemeanor.

The arrest is the latest in a string of detainments that have landed the embattled singer in the headlines.
He was arrested in March for the violation of a probation ordered in connection to his highly publicized assault of then-girlfriend, singer Rihanna in 2009. He has been in jail in Los Angeles where he's been held since being discharged from a rehabilitation center in Malibu, where he will remain until he is transported to D.C.

30 Years Later, Cyndi Lauper Is Still So Unusual
Three decades after the release of her debut album She’s So Unusual , Cyndi reflects on the album that made her an icon.

She's So Unusual was a fitting title for Cyndi Lauper's breakthrough debut album; when she first burst onto the scene in 1983 with her eccentric thrift-store outfits, big bright orange hair, and exuberant personality, there was nobody like her. Fusing new wave, rockabilly, pop, and rock, the album spawned four top-five singles, including empowerment anthem "Girls Just Want To Have Fun," masturbation ode "She Bop," and the haunting "Time After Time." Three decades after the album's release, you still hear them in everything from film and television, to weddings and school dances. BuzzFeed talked with Lauper about the 30th anniversary of She's So Unusual, her memories of making the album, and what her relationship to her most iconic songs is like today.
How do you remember the recording of the She's So Unusual?
Cyndi Lauper: We had so much fun in the studio, and I think that comes across in the recording. It was a wonderful collaboration with an amazing bunch of people who I still have in my life today. We just brought the best out of each other. It was a great creative time for all of us.
I've heard that you didn't love Robert Hazard's original version of "Girls," and that you rearranged some of the lyrics to make it work for you.
CL: I had a different take. Obviously, he's a guy, he's not going to write what a woman's going to sing about. I was concerned about how it would be taken, and he said, "Well, think about what it could mean." So the parts that were very masculine and didn't pertain to what I wanted to say, I cut out. In the 1980s women were still struggling to be seen as equal to men. When the women's movement really started, in the '60s and '70s, I felt so empowered and it was thrilling to me. But in the 1980s it seemed that a lot of the hard work by people like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem was being forgotten and women were once again accepting the status quo. We had gotten far — but not far enough — so I sang "Girls" for all the women around the world to remember our power.
Thirty years later, are you surprised that the media still pits female musicians against against each other?
CL: Not really. It's still disappointing. They don't do that with guys, EVER. And I don't know most of these women, but if it's like the "competition" Madonna and I supposedly had, these are most likely fiction.
Before the success of She's So Unusual, you were a singer-songwriter as part of Blue Angel. During those earlier years, did you ever second-guess your career choice?
CL: No, I never second-guessed. I was told a few times to quit or be someone I wasn't, but I always believed in myself and my music and just found a way around my detractors.
Do you remember hearing"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" on the radio for the first time?
CL: It took a while. We didn't have a lot of support at radio out of the box. One programmer even said my voice was too high for radio, that I sounded like a Chipmunk and I would never have a hit. I went to wrestling [matches] and did a lot of promo with them, MTV came in, and then radio came in. The first time I heard it was on a radio station in Boston.

Twitter Allowing Free Promotional "Pinned Tweets" To Select High-Profile Users
The ability to put a tweet at the top of your timeline.
Twitter has a feature called "pinned tweets" for select high-profile users such as politicians and artists, allowing the users to display a single tweet at the top of their profiles labeled as "promoted."
But unlike certain paid promoted tweets by brands and users, "pinned tweets" are free for these select users. The feature itself is also offered to paying users.
BuzzFeed first noticed the feature when it inquired if Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who's up for re-election this year, had paid to promote tweets on his government Twitter account. Graham's spokesman told BuzzFeed the senator's Twitter account was using "pinned tweets," and the service was free.
Graham's spokesman told BuzzFeed that feature was located on a user's analytics page.
The feature only currently shows up on the browser version of Twitter, but not on mobile or Tweetdeck.
A source at Twitter confirmed to BuzzFeed Thursday the featured has been around for just about a year to certain select high-profile users, and said it was done through Twitter's partnership team.
UPDATE: This post has been updated to include that feature has been around for a year but is being given to news users through Twitter's partnership team.

As part of their Prank It Forward campaign, Break took to the streets of Los Angeles to pull over drivers and reward them for driving safe.
When the officer asked the confused drivers if they knew why they were being pulled over, no one had a clue.
And when he told them it was because they made a complete stop, wore a helmet, or didn't talk on their phone, they were all pretty shocked.
