You can't tell everything about a person by looking at their social media feeds, but trust me: It is meaningful, or at least somewhat meaningful, that George R.R. Martin hasn't made a single mention of HBO's Game of Thrones on his Twitter or blog since the April 14 premiere of the show's final season. No chef's-kiss congratulations to the cast, no hashtagged episodic livetweeting, no nerdy defenses of "The Long Night"'s brightness settings - just some announcements of his speaking engagements, some #tbt photos, and some Perd Hapley-ish commentary on the NFL Draft. ("Neither the Giants nor the Jets have a second round pick today").
