I feel like I’m the only one who isn’t upset by Diana/Clark news, and I suppose that fact upsets me a little. Because those are characters I love, and I should care what happens to them, but… nope. Not anymore. I seriously have no more feels to feel. Since the…

Random Vignette of My Life of the Day

Watching my SO try to play Batman: Arkham City as Catwoman (Cat Woman? CatWoman? Catwoman.) after months of not playing it is one of the more entertaining things I’ve watched all month.

"Being fact-checked is not very fun. Good fact-checkers have a preternatural inclination toward pedantry, and sometimes will address you in a prosecutorial tone. That is their job and the adversarial tone is even more important than the actual facts they correct. In my experience, seeing your name on the cover of a magazine will take you far in the journey toward believing your own bullshit. It is human to do so, and fact-checkers serve as a valuable check to prevent writers from lapsing into the kind of arrogant laziness which breeds plagiarism and the manufacture of facts. The fact-checker (and the copy-editor too actually) is a dam against you embarrassing yourself, or worse, being so arrogant that don’t even realize you’ve embarrassed yourself. Put differently, a culture of fact-checking, of honesty, is as important as the actual fact-checking."

— Ta-Nehisi Coates, in praise of fact checkers. (via theatlantic)

I will not ask for compensation for any of the books (except for possibly shipping (see: Rules)) just that whoever wins them treats them with care.
  •  I will pick four winners. The first will get to choose the set of his/her choice and the second will choose from what is left etc. If you are chosen last and do not like the books you have won please tell me as I’m sure I could find a winner who would be more happy to read them.

shoomlah: Finally sucked it up and submitted my entry to Project Rooftop’s Fantastic Four redesign contest!  I love superhero teams, especially ones who spend a lot of their time sciencing, so this was fun. I decided to go with a midcentury-inspired/sci-fi look for their uniforms- not the most drastic change, of course, but I wanted something sleek that played around with the 4 iconography a bit more than usual.  I Also took the bodysuit-as-wearable-computer concept a bit more literally with the optional retinal HUD, and made Ben a bit of a beefcake.  Because why the hell not
