Amazon: “Hi, we noticed you bought an accessory for a tablet. Here’s a trade-in deal for tablets!” I don’t know, the fact that I bought an accessory for my current tablet suggests I might be planning on hanging on to it for a while.

I don’t know, the fact that I bought an accessory for my current tablet suggests I might be planning on hanging on to it for a while.

To be fair, the ad doesn’t mention the recent purchase, so it could be unrelated. Possibly.

Moore Mining

So DC decided it wasn’t already mining enough of Alan Moore’s ideas this year?

J.H. WILLIAMS III Responds to PROMETHEA Joining JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA
— Newsarama

DC using Promethea bugs me more than them using Tom Strong.

Partly, Promethea is the only ABC comic I read through to the end, so it matters to me more.

Partly it’s the same as Watchmen: the series was *a story*, not episodes driven by a story engine.

That said, the *concept* of Promethea *is* a story engine, which could have life and relevance beyond her original series – especially now.

But I don’t think she’ll achieve that as a guest star / supporting character in Justice League.

And having already alienated Alan Moore, you’d think they’d at least *say something* to JH Williams III about it.

Saw Despicable Me 3. Odd how I can just go with the total ridiculousness of the plot, the gadgets, the physics, characters…but putting the Hollywood Hills above the beach takes me right out of the movie.

I assure you, we haven’t blocked access

Reporter: “This building has blocked access to the elevator.”

Building owner: “I assure you, we haven’t blocked access to upper floors.”

Technically speaking, the stairs are available (for those who can use them), but that doesn’t address the question of the elevator.

Also, I have to wonder how much of the “banned words in budget requests” story started as “how to keep controversial items under the radar so that the short-sighted appointee holding the purse strings doesn’t have an excuse to deny your budget request.”

Do you have a strong reaction to a politician’s action?

Do you have a strong reaction to a politician’s action? Imagine someone as polarizing on the other side doing the same thing.

Still outraged or happy? Great! Your reaction’s valid!

Opposite reaction? Your anger or joy is with the *person*, not what they’re doing.

For example: Just imagine if Clinton had been elected, the FBI had continued investigating her, she’d fired Comey and then threatened to fire Mueller. What would the reaction from Fox be?
