John McCain says no: Today in Tweets

RE:alt-Hero

LOL, love how vox is claiming the people who are laughing at him and his comic aren’t really laughing but are ‘triggered’ instead. Sounds like the only one getting ‘triggered’ is vox himself over the fact the no one is getting offend by his want-to-be edgy cartoon book

*Waves at Z&T*
Hope you’re doing well!

@Z&T
Nice to see you posting again!

Dimmy: I suspect what it means is that Trump backed Moore but allowed his handlers to extract support for Strange.

Why I’ll be spending my golden years with my golden girls

Kiran Sidhu and her friends are in their 40s and none of them have children. They have decided to buy a house together, where they can pool resources, skills and a yoga teacher – and never be lonely

Since my friends and I came up with our alternative old-age plan, getting old no longer feels like a daunting prospect, and I no longer shy away from it – instead it feels hopeful and promising. I am almost looking forward to it. Sam plays the piano and the guitar, Steph is a published novelist and I’m a writer; I look forward to the bohemian life that we will lead and being surrounded by like-minded people I will have known most of my adult life.

It almost feels like the perfect society, where we all focus on the greater good: helping each other out when we need it most. I envisage songs and storytelling by the piano and a house filled with a certain joie de vivre.

Or if it’s leaked, the relevance to public is not obvious.

Well, I can see some relevance: The context of his bizarre inability to fill out even the most basic forms without lying, which is funny, and the context of the GOP’s constant whining about “VOTER FRAUD,” which is just plain hypocritical.

Of course, most people seem to be ignoring all that in favour of transphobic grossness. Sigh.

Voter registration is public in the US. Who one votes for is private and anonymous, but the registration is public record.

Of course! Well known signs that you’re triggered include:

* Laughter
* Rolling of the eyes
* Shrugging
* Ignoring
* Making comparisons to Rob Liefeld

When someone’s pitch for their latest work is not “here’s something you’ll love”, but rather “here’s something those other people will hate”, that’s rarely a promising sign.

So here’s a …thing (CW for revolting ideas about rape)

This chap is like the embodiment of every awful bit of MRA-logic, all rolled together.
Yesterday he was insisting that there was nothing wrong with adult men (i.e. Anthony Weiner) sexting 15 year old girls, now he’s arguing that rape is only rape if the victim has “reasonably resisted.”

RE: “Alt-Hero”/Liefeld Lady and Beale in general

Just everything about that is pure gold. The obvious “I-can’t-draw-hands” pose, the grimacing face, the skewed eye-line, the weird squished boobs that awkwardly connect directly to the collarbone, the way the hair details just end halfway, the Cardassian neck, the upside-down ab definition… but my favourite has to be the unimaginative costume. Ripping off the “Southern Avenger” mask, then slapping on a Confederate battle flag on a bustier and finish with some Daisy Dukes! Yessiree, as iconic as Superman, I reckon!

And I get grief about my arting ability. Sheesh, at least I can draw things resembling humans.

If only I wasn’t ninja’ed on Twitter by it all. Oh well, at least I got in a Pumaman reference. My favourite Tweet had to be “needs more pouches.” Ohhh, sometimes I miss the aburdity that was 90s comics.

I suppose this is a best time as any to plug Gyno-Star. All the cool Mammotheers are reading it.

Just by sheer coincidence, Kevin Logan uploaded his latest Descent of Manosphere video on Ted Beale (I won’t be calling him by his dumb nickname), and that was actually the first time I saw him talk.

Wow, and I thought Matt Forney was overcompensating for a fragile ego. He’s got nothing on this awkward dweeb. I try not to make fun of people who aren’t comfortable in front of a camera, but come on, Beale, learn how to use some editing software man! And if you’re gonna sway back and forth when you stand up, it’s okay to sit down!

He really comes off as that insufferable antisocial hanger-on to your group of geek buddies who you tried to be nice to, but he kept burning bridges by interrupting your D&D sessions to spout off about “International Jewry” and never got over the rejection.

The master race, ladies, ambies and gents… let’s give ’em a hand….

@ IP

They’ve decided to wipe the whole thing clean. ?

At the risk of teaching you to suck eggs, make sure you’ve got the install/activation codes for any apps you run like Office before they do that (speaking from bitter experience).

@Moggie:

Keep in mind that that was Trump’s pitch to the electorate, and he won.

@Imaginary Petal:

I hope you backed up all your files and/or they can do that. And see if you can get them to install Windows 7 rather than Windows 10 on it. 🙂
