dresdencodak:
Seeing as how I’ve done both the top ten for best and worst superhero costume redesigns, I feel obligated to put my money where my artistic mouth is and take a stab at fixing or updating some of these costumes. I’ve picked five here based on:
It’s a particularly awful outfit that doesn’t fit…
I’d read these.
Gigantic Warning
If you ever try to buy a house, but you don’t have the 20% to put down and you say “oh my, that FHA 203k loan only requires 3.5% down AND gives me money to do renovations, how very NICE of the government” BE WARNED. You are signing up for six months of bullshit. So much bullshit. Every bull. all of them shitting. That is what you get.

hungryghoast asked: q1: does it concern you that following the election Obama jettisoned his economic advisers and replaced them with the bums he has now? The ones he still trusts? Despite that they have a major hand in fomenting the current crisis? q2: If Obama was concerned about us and not "perpetuation of party" wouldn't he have refused to compromise on what should be uncompromisable?
hungryghoast asked: opinion: what Obama has shown for our generation of liberals, I think, is that voting and working within the current infrastructure will solve absolutely nothing. Powerful interests are not only too entrenched into that system, but that's all there is. The American gov't is built upon war/exploitation/horrible laws/etc. Obama is just the latest shill in office. Looking back, Clinton was...
hungryghoast asked: B) "Try changing a powerful inertial system" is the typical, pathetic, liberal apologia for Obama. And yet when he ran he was pretty specific about not doing some things that we all agree are bad: favoring lobbyists, back room deals, etc... and yet! ... If you call the health care deal a "fair shake" I think you're not paying attention to the nature of the deal....

– President Barack Obama (via azspot)
when i see the word “sensible” out of this guy’s mouth I really gotta wonder how his wars are “sensible”. When i see “ideological” out of his mouth I wonder about where his proclaimed ideology went when he was making non-public deals with drug companies over...

– Why I Was Maced at the Wall Street Protests
It is of note, I think, that white shirts denote a higher rank within the NYPD. At least as high as Sergeant. We know that the coward who maced a group of kettled/penned/non-violent women and then slinked back behind the thin blue line had a rank as high...

jjeeffff:
I can’t decide on what my response to this is, so here’s the first three things that popped into my head:

Well, there goes one of the most fundamental things we thought we knew about the universe

paxamericana:
It’s class warfare! Yeah right. Three decades of laissez-faire economic polices have allowed the rich to double their share of the national income while paying tax rates a fifth lower than before. The result,notes Kevin Drum, was “wage stagnation for everyone else, a massive financial collapse that ravaged the middle class, an enormous deficits that they’ll...

This is a scam, right?
So I’m selling some furniture on craigslist. I get an e-mail asking if it is still available. I respond in the affirmative. I then get this response, from a different e-mail:
“I have just been informed by my assistant that your item is still for sale,i would have loved to come and see it,but my schedule is very tight. However i can mail out your payment once you can provide me with...
Minecraft's "Adventure Update"
Dropped a few days ago. It’s not complete (no npc’s in the towns, etc), but I am having a blast with it. If you bought the game a long time ago and haven’t touched it, I would suggest giving it a look. All kinds of fun to be had.
-New mineshafts biomes that open to gigantic underground ravines
-creepy new, well, creeps
- An upgraded food system
-better combat

digitalsocrates:
wilwheaton:
Imbecile Texas Republican Louie Gohmert is rolling around on the floor of his congressional office in a fit of snickering and spittle, because he figured out that no lawmaker had officially proposed Barack Obama’s American Jobs Act to Congress. This means that technically speaking, the name “American Jobs Act” did not yet exist in the files, because the Democrats...

Life isn’t working from 9 to 5 for 5 days a week to get off on the 2 DAY weekend where ‘all there is to do’ is go to the movies, go out to eat, drink or get fucked up in some sort of way, to then wake up on Monday to the same old routine, over and over again for years. I don’t…
