Just so I’m clear: Misogyny in advertising on TV is totally okay. Violence on TV is totally okay. Encouraging people to self-diagnose mental illness on TV is totally okay.
Flipping the bird on TV, though, is totally not okay.
Is that pretty much it?
Okay, that’s what I thought. So, allow me to just say something real quick here, okay?
For fuck’s sake, America, it’s not the 1950s...

Me: I'm hungry.
Depression: Shh, no you're not. Lie down.
Me: But even if I'm not that hungry, I still need to -
Depression: No you don't. It's not a big deal. You can eat later. Lie down.
Me: Okay. My sheets are getting kind of funky, though. I should probably wash them.
Depression: What for? I don't mind them. It's cozy here. Let's go to sleep.
Me: But it's only 7:30, and I always feel shitty after I nap. Besides, I should make the most of my evenings! If I'm not going to do something constructive or fun at home, I should text or email a friend and see if someone wants to do something!
Depression: No you shouldn't. No one wants to do anything. If they did, they'd email you.
Me: But the last time they emailed me, you told me that it was obvious I was annoying them and I shouldn't reply.
Depression: Yeah, and I was right. Anyway, we're napping. That's what we're doing tonight.
Me: No, no. I should at least do the dishes. Or wash my sheets.
Depression: Always with the fucking sheets. Let it go already; no one cares. And what do you need clean dishes for? You're not eating, anyway.
Me: I guess. But I need to make a lunch for tomorrow.
Depression: No you don't.
Me: Yes I do. I need to eat at work or I'll feel sick, and I can't buy lunch. I'm trying to watch my money. I'm broke.
Depression: Why do you think they invented overdraft? Besides, you're probably not going to work tomorrow.
Me: I need to go to work tomorrow.
Depression: Not really. It's cold and dark out there, and your bed is so cozy. Besides, no one will miss you. It's not that big of a deal.
Me: But I need to -
Depression: I thought I told you to lie down and close your eyes.

Getting so many comics for Xmas. My mind is boggled at the reading I get to do.

fishingboatproceeds:
Early this morning, I learned that BN.com had accidentally shipped out The Fault in Our Stars, which will be published on January 10th, to many people who’d preordered the book. Although efforts are being made to stop shipments wherever possible, some of these people will likely receive the book…

Mark Waid vs JMS
Mark Waid: Dick move, Joe. Flat out, a dick move, and you know it. Either your point was to show people how awesome you were, or to show people how things have deteriorated since your absence. There’s no other way to interpret your post. None. Are you really that hard up for approbation and fan love that you can’t rise above that sort of shit? I understand Wacker’s frustration. Maybe he overreacted a bit, in the way good friends DO react when they perceive their friends and employees being attacked by a bitter man with a bottomless ego, but you made the first move, and it was a dick move. And if anyone doubted you were doing it for anything other than informational purposes, adding “Just sayin’” was the snarktacular icing on the cake. No one says “Just sayin’” unless they’re doing exactly the opposite of “Just sayin’

Half an hour later, still fuming at JMS’s shitty passive-aggressiveness. I should probably go walk it off. Maybe with a long walk. A long, dull, pointless, boring walk. Across America.

That I won’t finish
