I don't know what your background is, but personally I'm an active duty servicemember who deals almost entirely in the realm of the dissemination of information to the public while ensuring that the military's operational security is protected.

Funny you should mention that...

Honestly, I could see this potentially having some fantastic benefits in the fields of PTS treatment.

Great article, though, I'm honestly surprised that there wasn't a mention of all Kim Stanley Robinson's 2312 in here. I found the his take on the future of sex and gender some of the more compelling parts of the novel.

I think you may be right: http://goo.gl/maps/gyfk6

Just say no.

Also, if we're not being total Massholes (or whatever the Rhode Island version of that is) to everyone around us when we're winning, we switch to this terrible mopey, fuck-it, "why am I a fan of the worst team ever" mode the second the team makes a mistake.

Then you should see this, because personally I love this idea. http://badassdigest.com/2012/08/17/one-guys-vision-for-the-vision-in-the-avengers-2/

Wait - why was EDI using an assault rifle? And why was that the thing that jumped out at me in the trailer?

Hell, I don't know - I thought the people who talked to were morons for assuming the cool-looking gadget was an iSomething just because it looked cool and new. But then again, they all kinda look the same and - in my opinion - there's only so many variations you can do on the design of a tablet-type thing. At the end…

It could have been a Nexus 7 with a case on it - hiding the leather-ish back.

In addition to talking about terraforming the solar system and sci-fi things, Kim Stanley Robinson addresses this topic in his amazing new book "2312". He also delves into the future of gender identity and a bunch of other topics related to sexual roles and biology that I hadn't ever really thought much about when…

Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side. It was comin' back, from the island of Tinian to Leyte, just delivered the bomb.

I was just waiting for him to pull out a box cutter.

In additional Joe Kubert awesomeness, he was the current artist for the Army's PS Preventative Maintenance Monthly magazine. PS Magazine is a comic book style publication that's been in publication since 1951 when it was created by a young Corporal Wil Eisner.

I imagine they're taking the same approach that the military does with the U.S. flag on uniforms (see picture). The logic being that the flag/logo is always "moving" forward and never "retreating".

Close - depending on the event (foil, epee, or sabre) there's different target areas. While in epee the whole body is a target, in foil and sabre, there are more limited target areas. to determine being on or off target the fencers wear metallic mesh vests on the target areas.

Call me crazy, but you know what show I would love to see made? Some version of the Dan Slott She-Hulk (the Single Green Female run).

Can we still hashtag stuff with the new commenting system? Only one way to find out.

Only if the seat cushion doubles as a flotation device.
