There is no one in America who doesn’t think Betsy DeVos isn’t a fucking twit. You can’t destroy a reputation that isn’t there.

Even the staunchest conservatives I know get very quiet and change the subject when her name comes up.

Technically speaking, this appears to be a Brian Michael Bendis formerly Image-now-DC sale.

It’ll be interesting being a Dark Iron in BRD, the same way. Won’t stop me, though. :p

I haven’t paid for a subscription fee in years. You can turn in-game gold into tokens that you can spend on playtime. It takes a little while at max level to get the gold train going — and I assume we’ll have to start over again on that process in the next expansion — but it’s definitely possible to make WoW

I’ve been running the Throne of Thunder, just for the achievements and the chance at the mounts, but man, I am building up a really great set of troll armor. When Zandalari trolls are available next expansion, it’s going to be tough to resist making one.

Anyone jumping on at this point (which you really ought to, because it’s been a great run) should know this final battle was set up in the Hawkeye Generations one shot a few months back. It seemed inconsequential at the time, but it turns out it was just the backstory for this finale. Worth picking up before you read

This has been my favorite Hawkeye series since Matt Fraction’s run. I’m really hoping to see the Hawkeyes in action again soon (pretty sure Old Man Hawkeye will not be scratching a similar itch) and Thompson writing Kate and Clint in some faction even if she’s on another book (I love the idea of her writing Jessica

Hey now, he’s an all-star.

Coincidentally, herpes is also the Bachelor’s consolation prize for all contestants.

I’d take them rebuilding Warcraft I and II with a remastered Warcraft III engine. I’ve never played either of the first two games and would happily pay for them as “expansions.”

“Jeff Zucker is no more liberal than Lorne Michaels or any other gross media dipshit.”

Good. I don’t want the biggest English language international cable news channel to be stumping for anyone. I want them to tell the news as straight as they can.

As of 2016, there were still more than 1,300 newspapers in the United States, 99 percent of whom spend their time worrying about things like city hall, the local school district and neighborhood crime.

They’re not “outrage factories,” they’re keeping the local city council from steering contracts to cronies, watching

Yep. It’s all about access journalism, which also plagues entertainment, tech and sports journalism. If the White House freezes you out, and you’re a White House correspondent, you are either fired or reassigned.

Journalists who don’t have to worry about losing this access — everyone but the White House press corps, in

I started in 1979. You pretty much had an older sibling or cousin run your first few games, handwaved a lot of stuff (no one really used encumbrance or weapon speed, come on) and occasionally just used Basic D&D rules instead, as few kids really got that they were different rule sets.

If I had to do it over again, I

If he wants a long sword, he can save up his allowance money for it.

I want to like Basic Fantasy, but it’s got way too many fiddly nostalgia rules systems in there.

Oh, you’re not allowed to be a journalist in the United States unless you’ve watched the Wire and can discuss season five in depth. That is definitely true.

Considering Simon is an embittered former Sun cops reporter, and it’s his show, I’m not sure how this season could have come as a surprise.

And after looking at how public housing, the docks, city hall and the education system interact with Baltimore crime, looking at the media’s relationship with crime is a valid

I’ve played a gnome illusionist for more than a decade now, in an urban detective campaign (set in Ptolus, which is perfect for such things). Illusionists, at least through 3E/Pathfinder, are the epitome of “let me improv my answers to all the problems.”

I love it, although it requires a DM with a sense of humor and

While I raised an eyebrow at (presumably) first level characters running into someone totally immune to magic, a wizard polymorphed into a talking goose makes up for everything.
