New Mexico Gov. Requires Women Seeking Childcare Assistance To Prove They Were ‘Forcibly Raped’

The GOP is getting so self-justified that they are being more obvious about things I've been saying for years. From the same side that is fighting for no abortions under any circumstance comes more and more stringent restrictions for people to get help ( Read more... )

All right, let me preface this with the fact that a couple of months ago DC lowered the price on their regular, ongoing titles to $2.99 with heavy advertising of the self aggrandizing catchphrase of "Holding the line at $2.99." People assumed that DC had figured out something that was going over the heads of the folks at Marvel, that the fanbase ( Read more... )

Yeah, so it seems my ability to communicate in an articulate manner has been fucked over. I look back on anything longer than a couple of sentences and see error after error. I'm stumbling along like a runner in shoes that are too big. I've got the wrong verb tense, extra words, missing words, and incomplete ideas. And I'm not just throwing these ( Read more... )

House votes to block all funding to Planned Parenthood.

This has long been the hypocrisy of the so-called "Pro-Life" movement that just hurts my brain. More accurately they should be called the "Anti-Choice" movement. They don't want people to have abortions, but they won't inform on or help people with how to not get unwanted pregnancies outside of ( Read more... )

Grrr, I can't wait until it comes up in the rotation, I must complain now. The final issue of the Thor: For Asgard miniseries came it... and it pissed me off. The more I think back on it the angrier I get.

It was a six issue series with beautiful art but the story wandered around and spun its wheels a lot. A whole lot. It was just poorly written. ( Read more... )

Kat Rocha does a very nice essay on why she thinks there aren't more women in the comics business - and she blames 60s feminists.

I'm sure that not everyone would agree with her, but I think there is a lot of truth to it that applies to more than just women, more than just feminists, and more than just comics.

There is a prevalent sense of ( Read more... )

My brain is still not my own, and is continuing to annoy me. The stress of moving is only adding to my general anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed, as well as my inability to concentrate on a single thing at once.

Bah!

I figured out, I believe, why some fans react so loudly to the movie adaptation of their favorite thing -- it's because movies ( Read more... )

So, the previous week the issue of Wolverine I got was #73. The issue I had picked up prior to that one was #71. I assumed the shop had skipped again like they had with Cable #13. Nope, Marvel pulled a McFarlane and skipped the issue. What's really, exceptionally stupid is that issues 73 and 74 were already scheduled as fill-ins that were breaking ( Read more... )

OK, England doesn't totally suck, but there is some significantly stupid BS working its way towards becoming law.

New pornography laws 'could make comic books illegal', say campaigners

Yeah, I'm appalled by most of this, though I find the comicshopvoice.co.uk argument about mainstream comics weak at best, but what had me shouting at the screen was ( Read more... )

When you stop spending gobs of money on spiritual cleansings from an alien-inspired pyramid scheme invented by a science fiction author, I’ll quit taking anti-depressants. Until then, you short-sighted, self-centered, hypocritical bastards can shut the fuck up.
