It looks like Arizona House Bill 2625 is getting some Tumblr attention, and while the sourcing that indicates this law just passed seems to be wrong (it was in fact enacted 2 years ago), the content of it remains disconcerting, perhaps not least of all because it was adopted two years ago without being caught …

It’s probably incredibly understated to say that I’m really not an American Football guy. I’m not much of a traditional sports fan in general. So I definitely don’t follow much of the media surrounding sports, either. It was only via Rebecca Eisenberg on Upworthy that I ran across Katie Nolan’s recent discussion of the place …
I have to give a lot of thumbs up to the points John Scalzi raises in his recent essay on the Amazon-Hachette public negotiation troubles. My favorite quote: This is where many people decide to opine that the cost of eBooks should reflect the cost of production in some way that allows them to say …
Some days, media melts my brain. Like when an author does his level best to effectively say that engaging with tabletop RPG games is questionable conduct: [Judge Clark Allen Peterson] has posted game-related messages under his own name thousands of times, accompanied by a depiction of Orcus, a character described as a bloated, 15-foot-tall demon …
I subscribed to Upworthy‘s RSS feed a while ago when friends kept linking me there to see things I thought were worth seeing. It seemed only reasonable to, in turn, pop on over to SoulPancake when I realized I’d seen their logo on a lot of the Upworthy video links I’d liked. While I was …

Another day, another bit of filler pretending to be content. While that’s probably true of me, it’s especially true of Yahoo! I ran across this one t’other day: How to tell if your honey’s being dishonest. Is your girlfriend playing with her hair? Forget split ends: she might be lying! Did your boyfriend just compliment …
I’m making very small steps to try to rein in the eating out / eating poorly. Certainly, making one’s own food is a good step, but I’m tired and lazy and we said very small, remember? So: lower-calorie, frozen meals. Little boxes, little boxes and all that. On the continuum of healthy choices, it’s a …
Facebook is apparently making changes to bits of its various data usage policies. At least, that’s what the message that showed up in my inbox t’other day seems to indicate. I can’t say that I’m especially concerned or impressed, really. After all, it’s not like I can pick my preferred terms of service. I recognize …
So, I was on weather.com, as one tends to be when there’s a crazy thunderstorm outside and is looking for any warnings, and I notice a link to an article with the subtitle Is the Atlantic Hurricane Season Underwhelming?. Allow me to offer this paraphrase: There haven’t been any hurricanes this season, but historically there …

I shouldn’t be surprised, but once again am disappointed at this tidbit over at Newsarama: Thursday artist Kevin Maguire announced via Twitter that he had been unexpectedly “fired” from Justice League 3000, the upcoming ongoing series reteaming him with former collaborators Keith Giffen and JM DeMatteis set in the 31st Century. And while declining to …
