James, thank you so much for not abusing the word “literally”.

Correct! A runner-up star for you!

You’re the winner! A star for you!

*makes a squinty-face*

Don’t lose focus! The real story is this: The stepparent of a woman who is famous for having a really nice ass isn't being charged with a crime that some guy said she might be charged with.

Actually... it’s important not to forget that when you promote a work of art made by a man who actively promotes injustice, degradation of women, violence against gays and social division in general, then you’re tacitly supporting him.

Aaahhh. Greg Rucka is one of the good guys.

This is very well written

Oh absolutely. I was devastated when Greg Rucka couldn’t do Gotham Central anymore. Just look at who I chose for my avatar picture....

Completely understandable.

He is a DB. Truly a big-time asshole. But you are right, Fables is awesome. I didn’t even know it was finished until today, and now I’m eager to catch up.

I think his negative influence would piss me off just as much if he was diminishing my livelihood, too.

Oh, Sqarr, you know I love ya, but we might have to agree to disagree on this one. I think it’s completely kosher to adore a person’s art even if you think they hold beliefs you disagree with, or are terrible to others in their personal lives. For me, Bill Willingham is the kind of ass I wouldn’t want to spend five…

If you ever feel like sharing your handiwork with others, here is the post I wrote about this incident:

Larry Niven wrote a much-anthologized short story called “Inconstant Moon” exploring what happens to two people on the “safe” side of the earth when it gets hit by a solar flare. It was great.

I had a coworker who would openly watch porn on his work-computer at a warehouse I once worked at.

Does the daughter have that “I shouldn’t stifle his efforts to express himself openly because that might hurt his self-esteem” attitude?

If I had gorgeous women at work whose job it was to walk around in a skirt and chat me up, I don’t see myself becoming more motivated to turn my head to the screen and generate lines of code...

Try not to be offended. I’ve noticed that people here in the West seem to feel with near-religious fervor, that a culture’s happiness is directly proportional to how much it celebrates the individual. They often view people from collectivist cultures as benighted fools, and don’t even recognize their ethnocentrism.

Yup. Condoleezza Rice will no doubt be fascinated with all the URLs you thought were so good, you just had to save them:
