The single biggest problem I have with Ms. (?) Sarkeesian is that she is a man-hater. She spits vitriol and propaganda at every turn to espouse her militantly sexist views. I've watched some of her videos and the worst part is, she has some very valid points. She just paints them in such a way as I should feel shame for being a man and for embracing my masculinity. Well I don't feel that shame. If Ms. Sarkeesian could back down on the rhetoric, she would probably find a more receptive audience.
 
And then there are the idiots that respond to her. I don't consider them men or masculine. They are spoiled, little boys with little thought to the consequences of their actions. Threatening to harm somebody (and I have seen many comments referring to rape, assault, and even murder) is not a sign of maturity. Especially in light of perceived internet anonymity, I can only categorize those attacks as cowardly. In fact, that sort of thing reminds me very strongly of the bullies I used to fight in school. I don't much care for bullies, even if I can identify with their "cause."  That they are only adding fuel to Ms. Sarkeesian's fire is only that much worse. They are practically making her case for her. And in that way, I think that Ms. Sarkeesian is a very clever person. She posts a comment specifically designed to incite a certain reaction from these wannabe men and sits back while the threats come rolling in. Then she and her network (and she definitely has a network of sympathetic media and blogosphere personas) point out how she is the victim of these hateful "men," thereby securing the sympathy judgment from anybody who might know little about the subject matter. Those threats, by the way, I consider criminal behavior.
 
It doesn't take a college grad to see the pattern. When the cacophony dies down and Ms. Sarkeesian faces the true, dual threats of obscurity and irrelevance, out pops another comment followed by the sad, but inevitable, reaction. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
 
The whole affair makes me a little ill.

I would have preferred a root canal to Civil War, at least as presented in the comics.

And yes, the lovely Amanda Pays, who once played, Doctor Tina McGee in the 90s Flash live action series, will be making an appearance as... Doctor Tina McGee!

I put it down to the guys and gals in the four-color union suits making a gazillion dollars in movies over the past decade

I gripe about the trouble state of many police, how far too many act like they're at war with citizens rather than protecting them. The amount of corruption or deception involved in many police stories is alarming...
 
and then you run into good men in blue like this one who make you remember not to dwell always on the negative.

Ah, end of an era...
Man, I remember joyfully wasting some hours as a kid on Saturday mornings. I resented the heck out of Jimmy Carter for his tendency to use that time for his public speaking which interuptted it.   My mother would tell me that if it wouldn't kill me.
 
Then Reagan got elected and interuppted later in the day on her talk shows and soaps. HA! Take that mom

This pic is Blake, a shelter rescue dog, and his human, me, GhostDancer, aka Will "Suffice" Geiger.  [spoiler: remaining post is fundraiser]  Help us win $50,000!  Pets for Patriots helps United States military veterans, including me, adopt shelter dogs and cats at risk of death or permanent homelessness.  
Pets for Patriots is the only nationally operating 501©(3) organization that is open to veterans and military personnel from all armed forces and any era of service, that is focused on the most overlooked, last-chance shelter pets, and makes pet adoption affordable through its surrender prevention program.
What do shelter pets and military veterans have to do with each other? Only everything!
Think about men and women returning from war with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, deploying troops trying to fill the void of their absence, and veterans who are lonely or depressed. Then consider adult and senior pets, victims of animal abuse, pets with disabilities or chronic medical conditions, and larger dogs. Pets for Patriots is a nationally operating charity that brings together two populations that often feel hurt, broken or left behind. And to help these bonds endure, they make pet parenthood more affordable for the men and women who defend our freedom.
While not all of us will serve our country as a member of the military, we still can be heroes! Help us win the Saving Pets Challenge by donating early and often.  I have a bankrupt employer and my money is funny, but I've got $40 on it.  Please pass the word.  Please chip in. https://www.crowdrise.com/PetsforPatriots-SavingPets/fundraiser/williamgeiger  Thank you, Will Geiger

I had recorded this and finally got to watch it. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the new dynamic with the team itself, but it certainly was a treat to see the Absorbing Man

Go go Tribble rangers!

Self aggrandisment, moi ?

Wow.  I have done 150 (and counting) commissions for uber patron Death Tribble.  He asked me to do a vehicle of his Avatar logo (for those who haven't seen it, a ball of brown fur with cartoon eyes with an angry furrowed and flaming brow).  I've been planning this one for a long time, knowing I was going to go a bit beyond that.... so Presenting!  The Mighty Multi Morphin Death Tribble Mobile!!!!

And oh yeah, I've got a couple of Fading Suns commissions to show too!

Cap needs no umbrella, that shield deflects just about EVERYTHING

*L* Okay, sounds like a fun group.
 
I don't have a group 'quote of the week' since I don't often get to game them as much as I'd like, but a few quips will always stay with me.
 
"My rock like brick is buying his comeliness up."
"Okay, what's your rationale?"
"Remember those head shots he took?"
"Yup."
"I figure they chiseled his features."
.....
"This villain is always two steps ahead of us."
"Great, we go backwards and maybe he'll get lost!"

Sure, it's a beer ad, but it's a good one...
