I read a bunch of stuff but there are a couple things I specifically want to talk about.

This was a really great issue and it almost makes me want to go back and reread the whole series to see how it all fits together again. The final issue circles back on "Ozymandias" and "the bullies" in little different ways so much that I'd be interested to see how much it fits together from the start. It's probably…

I think the only person who loses when you prejudge someone's work before reading it is you.

I read Rage of Ultron and it was, uh, fine, I guess. I don't know. I'm not the biggest Avengers fan and any book that spotlights the Hank Pym/Vision dynamic usually bores me to tears. I'm sure that there's an audience that will love this book to pieces but it's definitely a weird mishmash of kinda-sorta movie tie in…

It's been a couple years and the internet hasn't come up with a website better marketed to my sensibilities than that one.

Autobots, naval-gaze!

Sounds like someone needs a trip to the Lo-cal Calzone Zone…

You know what sucks?

Their work may or may not have disappeared from a promotion packet at a radio station I may or may not have worked at. What are you talking about? I'm too busy for these questions.

It's worth getting in high quality. "Yes, Virginia" is particularly dense and a good recording shows how well that record works.

I think there's definitely a trend in minimizing the number of low-skill jobs by placing that burden on the customer or on fewer and fewer employees. there's certainly always going to be some employees in your McDonalds but how many and for how long is probably up for debate.

I don't love the first album but it isn't bad. Even Palmer's solo stuff is pretty solid if not downright good.

She just has always had this streak of sort-of-empty-headed intellectualism that often comes off in particularly bad taste. Some of her writing after the Boston bombing was ill-advised, if not downright offensive.

Amanda Palmer is the most unpleasant person I can't stop myself from being a fan of. "Yes, Virginia" remains one of my all-time favorite albums.

Still not as bad as "We're introducing self-service stations because the fewer employees we have to pay, the happier we are."

Slowly realizing how much of my life echoes Dikachu and Wallace…

The appeal of the modern Carol Danvers is solely in DeConnick's writing, as this piece suggested. Otherwise, she's sort of the standard Marvel-Female-Plot-Device we're very familiar with.

Really glad you came here to share your dismissive opinion.

They're chicken is surprisingly good if you desperately need fast food fried chicken or chicken strips.

I've never lived far enough south to get Bojangles and my body is probably thankful for that.
