"He's earned the moniker of feminist seemingly through just the creation of strong female characters alone. But, as friend and scholar Jake says, "Having a girl beat up guys is not equivalent to a strong female character when they ALWAYS, CONSTANTLY depend on men." So true! Let's consider some of his body of work as we undertake the Topic that Made the Fanboys Cry: Joss Whedon's feminism." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

I think the article makes some really good points, but I also think it completely misses the larger picture (especially when it comes to BTVS): Whedon wrote a show about high school/college-aged people. No matter how strong or independent they are, no matter how feminist they are, they're still teenagers/young adults, and they're still human. They're inherently going to still be... more... - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE

That Belle one just strikes me as totally off character. - Jennifer Dittrich

I love Alice. - Headless Gnad Kicker

I don't know what college they looked at for these fashions, but none of these characters look like the students on my campus. - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE

"While voters overall may think Congress' focus should be elsewhere there's no doubt about how mad Republicans are about Benghazi. 41% say they consider this to be the biggest political scandal in American history [...] Republicans think by a 74/19 margin than Benghazi is a worse political scandal than Watergate, by a 74/12 margin that it's worse than Teapot Dome, and by a 70/20 margin that it's worse than Iran Contra." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"One interesting thing about the voters who think Benghazi is the biggest political scandal in American history is that 39% of them don't actually know where it is. 10% think it's in Egypt, 9% in Iran, 6% in Cuba, 5% in Syria, 4% in Iraq, and 1% each in North Korea and Liberia with 4% not willing to venture a guess." - Andrew C (✓)

Yeah, I could definitely see things changing with plastic semiconductors and holography. - Victor Ganata

I will have a vintage globe which will tastefully match the wood paneling of my control-room/office. - Brian Johns

Mine doubles as a Death Star! It just looks like the Earth for camouflage. - Andrew C (✓)

Man, twitter told me the first one didn't go through so I sent my second version an hour later. - Andrew C (✓) from Android

but no cell would be around to remember when you started. - Greg GuitarBuster

A cleanse of your digestive tract should be much shorter. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

"There's a version of the American Office that's more aligned with its British forefather, one that has always lurked just beneath the surface and is more upsetting than any drama: a show about dead-end people clinging to petty distractions and each other to stop from falling completely into despair. Fans rightfully point to Michael's exit -- and particularly to Steve Carell's otherworldly chemistry with the brilliant Amy Ryan -- as the last time The Office truly soared. But The Office was never about soaring. More than anything, it was about gliding -- which is really just a prettier word for coasting." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"For 30 years, NBC has maintained an unprecedented streak of comedy excellence in the 9 p.m. hour on Thursdays. From Cheers to Seinfeld and The Office, these shows weren't just the best sitcoms of their eras, they helped define them. [...] But this week, NBC announced that it's replacing The Office in September with Sean Saves the World, a broadly mawkish, backward-looking half-hour... more... - Andrew C (✓)

I found myself actually happy with the finale. - Jed Harris-Keith from iPhone

"A homeless, hatchet-wielding hitchhiker who became an Internet hero earlier this year was arrested Thursday for allegedly beating a New Jersey lawyer to death inside his home." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

According to a status he posted Tuesday on FB, he was raped by someone he was staying with. Also, I didn't know this until earlier today, but he was born in a town about 35 miles down the road. - Jimminy IS Everybody

YIKES. - Joe "Bad Guts" Silence

"A video that appears to show Toronto's mayor smoking crack is being shopped around by a group of Somali men involved in the drug trade." -- WHAT? - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

Maybe, just maybe, this will do the trick and get that embarrassment out of office. - Brent Schaus

(referring to the Rob Ford crack story: http://gawker.com/for-sal... - "[allegedly] Rob Ford purchases his crack cocaine from a crew of Toronto drug dealers that service a veritable who's who of A-list...Torontonians? Torontites? Anyway, a lot of prominent people in Toronto purchase and enjoy crack and powder cocaine, and they all buy it from the same folks. The same folks Ford buys it from. Ford's longtime friend, people on his staff, his brother, a prominent hockey analyst, and more." ) - Andrew C (✓)

"1. The classic Bikini Armor. If you're lucky you might get an actual shoulder-pad! If the designers even bother doing something more than just a regular bikini, you might get some accessories with stilettos! Exactly what I want in battle. For a extra nice touch; cameltoe." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

I dunno. I don't play MMOs, but a friend on FB who plays MMOs so much that she went to work at Riot (they make League of Legends) forwarded the link, so I assumed it was accurate enough. It does track with some of Bioware's questionable character design choices in Bioware's single-player games. - Andrew C (✓)

"Fine, so we'll ask: Say, what's this whole thing actually about? It seems that the Internal Revenue Service singled out conservative groups for detailed investigation. Republicans are calling it "The New Watergate" and "The New Iran Contra Affair." Um, isn't there a non-republican scandal we can compare it to? No." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"See, because there are genuine scandals here. Political organizations, blatantly political organizations, are being allowed to commit tax fraud. And the IRS is letting them get away with it in direct violation of their charter and the law. The Supreme Court is letting them get away with it. The President is letting them get away with it. And Congress is most assuredly letting them get away with it. And we, us voters, are letting them all get away with it. " - Andrew C (✓)

There's a Grove in WeHo now? - Anika

I think I have 7-8 pounds of rice, a few boxes of instant stuffing, a few boxes of cornbread mix... It would take me quite a while to finish the carbs in my pantry even if I ever did decide this would be a good plan. #teamCarbs - Andrew C (✓) from Android

My plan for cutting candy out of my diet is to finish the candy in the house. I've found that there's ALWAYS candy in the house!!!! - Yvonne from FFHound!

Canada is so left, that even our right-wingers are Liberals :) - Ken Morley
