- The Arkh Project | What is Arkh?
One to watch, I think
- This is what women in superhero comics should be
"This defines Stephanie Brown in my eyes. She gets the shit kicked out of her, and she keeps coming back, keeps fighting back, keeps on trying. Why? Why does she subject herself to the scorn of the Batfamily, the dangers of Gotham city, the physical and emotional stress and trauma of being a hero? Because she’s a hero. Being a hero isn’t beating up a bunch of people. Being a hero is when you get beaten up, when you get screwed, when you get tortured and pissed on and fucked up and you. Keep. On. Going. Not for glory. Not for a thrill. You keep going because you genuinely want to help other people. Because you believe that you can make a difference. Because you know in your heart that it’s the right thing to do, dammit, no matter what anyone else says." Oh yes, this. This is why I love Steph Brown too. Damn you, Debi for introducing me to her.
- Caron's Musings: Welfare Reform Bill: what I said to Lib Dem MPs
Caron's really on form at the mintue: I haven't managed a coherent response to the way the parliamentary party are dealing with the welfare reform bill yet, because whenever I try I get blinded by rage that I am associated with the kind of people who think making the poor and the disabled SUFFER MOAR is acceptable
- [Gamer Diary] Batman: Arkham Asylum & Arkham City, or; The Bat and his Bitches

- Why 4K TVs are stupid
We've got to the point where TVs are now better than our eyes can cope with.
- Confirmed: Fleshlight Developing an iPad Case You Can Have Sex With
Really, REALLY NSFW. Possibly not safe for brain, either. I can think of at least one person who probably has a pre-order in for this already, mind...
- Strong principle of charity
This is interesting. I'm not sure if it's sensible, but it's definitely interesting.
- The Ultimate Hammer Collection 21 Disc Box Set DVD: Amazon.co.uk: The Hammer Collection: Film & TV
#25 inc postage for 21 classic Hammer films? I have this box, and it's totally worth it. Hell, just for Plague of the Zombiues, twenty-five quid is worth it. Plague of the Zombies is awesome
- Janet Howell, Virginia State Senator, Attaches Rectal Exam Amendment To Anti-Abortion Bill
"To protest a bill that would require women to undergo an ultrasound before having an abortion, Virginia State Sen. Janet Howell (D-Fairfax) on Monday attached an amendment that would require men to have a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test before obtaining a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication." - via lanning
