Kim Davis deserves to be in jail.
(Warning: Ranty Pants are ON.) Kentucky clerk Kim Davis deserves to be in jail, and kudos to the judge for not simply fining her, which might allow her supporters to rally around and raise funds for her, not allowing her personally to feel the fallout of her failure to perform her duties.

The Great Washhouse Rat War of 2015.
We live in the house my grandparents built back in 1950 or so. I was practically raised here I spent so much time here growing up.

Yay! Google is FINALLY getting off its ass about piracy in GooglePlay Books.
Remember a couple of weeks ago when I bitched about piracy in GooglePlay Books? Well, it hasn’t been just me bitching, either. Ink, Bits, and Pixels (formerly The Digital Reader) picked it up and ran with it, and has been doing a series of posts about it, applying Google’s feet to the metaphorical digital fire. … Read More
WTF GooglePlay Books? You are ALLOWING pirates to operate!

If I had a superpower…
This random thought is prompted by a picture someone posted in the Trybe. That’s not the superpower I’d want. I want something…different. I’d want the ability to point at someone (or a group of people) and make them spontaneously orgasm. Hear me out. Think of how it would stop wars? Fighting while jizzing one’s pants? … Read More

What. The. Actual. Fark. (re: Clean Reader app)
Chuck Wendig made the points better than I could. So, THIS: Fuck You, Clean Reader (And the “dislike” graphic is NOT for Chuck’s post, it’s for the app he’s talking about.) As of me posting this, my big comment is awaiting moderation (probably because I referenced a couple of links in it) but this is … Read More
Still More Ellora’s Cave vs. Dear Author WTFery.
I should have waited to post my last update. Since then, there was a filing that Courtney Milan (as per usual) did a great job of parsing into plain English. http://www.courtneymilan.com/ramblings/2015/02/24/motion-to-quash-gag-orders-notchilled/ Then, there was this article. http://www.vulture.com/2015/02/amazon-tina-engler-erotica.html Um, whut?
