Good move or bad move on DC​'s part? After Marvel Entertainment​ created a masterful universe DC night upset the fans who want to see storyline and characters cross over. But, as the article stated, this all hinges on DC and WB making good stand alone films. For the record, I liked Man of Steel and annoyed the depth and complexity of BvS . Wonder Woman was also good. Green Lantern is what happens when you let the directors take control. We'll see if DC and WB can pull this off, I guess. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2017/9/29/16387706/wonder-woman-batman-dc-expanded-cinematic-universe-warner-bros-standalone?_utm_source=1-2-2

#DonaldTrump's administration is "evaluating" whether or not to, and what form, hurricane recovery assistance will be given to Puerto Rico. Apparently, Puerto Rico's debt, which Congress refused to help with, is making the administration worried PR might not be able to carry their own weight. Maybe Trump is holding out for a hotel/resort deal before rebuilding starts. To be fair, assistance is heading to PR already, but when people's lives are on the line do you really have to think of assistance as a transactional course of action? Tit for that and all that? http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/29/politics/puerto-rico-hurricane-maria-san-juan-mayor-trump-response/index.html

Those of us who pay attention to such things have seen this coming. #DonaldTrump is the culmination of decades of Republican anti-intellectual fear-mongering, but he's by no means the last dimwit Republican to harbor such beliefs.

Okay, I'm sending this one out to the peanut gallery for comment: Jeff Cofer seems to be under the impression that content creators cannot protect their content or even seek recompense via lawsuit, when that content is stolen. His argument, ad nauseum, is that photographs, as well as all other artwork, do not belong to their creator because they're so easy to create. For example, in the article he posts below, a photographer takes a photo and sells it to a couple of online media outlets. The woman in the photo, unidentifiable by the photo alone, takes the photos, strips it of it's copyright and watermarks before uploading it to her social media. The photographer then sues because she's sharing for free what he's already sold. More importantly, she's sharing it without attribution. He created the photo. He owns the rights to it. She then stripped it of identifying marks and put it out there as her own. In my opinion, he owns it and has a right to enforce his ...

Your friendly reminder. Originally shared by MTD Reality check. Flint Michigan residents STILL don't have safe drinking water, years later. Puerto Rico is in disaster crisis mode, and people are dying because of inaction. Donald himself is under investigation by the FBI along with numerous members of his administration for obstruction and collusion (conspiracy) with Russia. Jared still has national security clearance after numerous lies, omissions, and false statements, Donald has also pardoned a man who targeted people solely on the color of their skin, and everyone is focused on kneeling during the national anthem from something that was started a year ago, by a player who currently isn't employed by the NFL? Keep falling for the misdirection, that's just what Donald wants you to do. Pay no attention to the criminal activities and pocket lining by Donald as he continues to destroy America by dividing everyone.

Yesterday I added a week's worth of events to my Google Calendar via a webcalendar set up by the organizer of the event I'm attending. This was done via the desktop/browser interface and the events all show up on browser, but I noticed later in the day that none of the afternoon events were on my calendar. I wrote the events not showing off to me being tired but decided to check this morning. Sure enough, all the events for today but one, are missing on mobile. That means no reminders, no addresses, no event descriptions, etc. So, I went to Google's Help site and found a solution that didn't resolve anything. In the end I had to go to Settings ==> Calendar ==> Storage and clear everything before rebooting the device. I guess Android finally caught up with Microsoft's "reboot to fix" functionality. https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/6261951?hl=en&ref_topic=3417969

They were approaching an empty block, marching by themselves with gas masks, guns and shields. I immediately stopped my car and ran back to my restaurant, still baffled why they were coming our way. When they reached the corner, at least one of them began shooting indiscriminately, at absolutely no one. Some of the shots (pepper pellets, I later learned) were directed towards the air, so it appears they were just trying to intimidate. But whom?

As a veteran I can promise you, no US military person wants to take orders from a foreign leader.

This can be seen in much of Gaelic and Gaelic history to include a famous British queen, Boudicca, who led the fight to repel Roman invaders. And that's not even taking in to account the Chess set where the most powerful piece is the queen. Now, we learn that a high ranking Viking warrior, once thought a man, is now proven to be a woman. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-09/su-aoa090817.php

For all the Plus-peeps in Florida, do what you have to do to stay safe. And remember, no shooting at the storm. http://fox6now.com/2017/09/10/pasco-county-sheriffs-officials-do-not-shoot-weapons-at-irma/ http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/10/us/irma-facts-record-numbers-trnd/index.html

You mean when I was in Plymouth, England those many moons ago I was that close to where the Lady of the Lake holds on to Excalibur? There is a very small chance I could have become the absolute ruler of Britain. http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/girl-finds-excalibur-in-a-lake-is-our-ruler-now?__source=Blastr_Vayner_Syfy_Twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=excalibur&utm_term=organic_audience&utm_content=organic

That may not mean much to you if you're not terribly familiar with Ohio. So, here. Click on the map to drop Irma wherever you wish. (Live outside the United States? Drag the map.) Maybe the map's available on desktop? I'm sure not seeing it on mobile. https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/politics/wp/2017/09/06/heres-how-big-irma-would-be-where-you-live/

Cop pulls him over for not using his turn signal. Walks up to car with gun drawn. Is there more to the story? Maybe. This is but one side of the event, but it's enlightening in the context of white cops shooting unarmed black people. #NSFW for language https://twitter.com/Choco_Optimus/status/906686851079180288?s=09

This is the first I'm hearing of these "rods from god." Considering their cost, I'm guessing just about every option is a less expensive option when trying to destroy your enemy. My question is, how does localized weather affect trajectory? Do these move fast enough to not be bothered or, like a bullet, can even a moderate breeze adjust their flight path? #ProjectThor http://www.businessinsider.com/air-force-rods-from-god-kinetic-weapon-hit-with-nuclear-weapon-force-2017-9?utm_content=buffer9db10&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer-bi

My mom, in Tampa, FL, sent out a mass SMS message early this morning letting her Circle of friends know she'll be using Zello to stay in touch during Hurricane Irma. I'm not sure if my 60-something (I'm sure she'd had it if I gave out her real age) mom understands Zello won't work without a data connection of some type. If cell towers or home wifi go down during this or any other storm Zello will be useless. https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/10/zello-tops-us-app-store-as-the-walkie-talkie-for-hurricane-volunteers/

Oooh, that's got to sting. #TrumpNation http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/09/09/omarosa-put-on-white-house-no-fly-list-to-keep-her-away-from-trump-report.html

Wow. As far as I can tell about the only people from the GWB administration who haven't denounced #TrumpNation are Karl Rove and Dick Cheney. #EPA #GlobalWarming https://www.google.com/amp/www.rawstory.com/2017/09/confirmed-my-fears-bushs-epa-chief-disgusted-by-scott-pruitts-dangerous-science-denial/amp/

Is there a biological component to being gay beyond the chemical composition of the brain? Maybe that's not clear. Is being gay written into the DNA of the body? In dog breeds certain characteristics such as enhanced smelling capabilities, sight, hunting, herding etc. have been known to express themselves physically. For example, a famous breeding program in Russia (if I remember correctly) demonstrated that breeding for heightened sense of smell in canines resulted in dogs with similar physical features even though their lines came from different stock. It explains why herding breeds all have similar features as well as gun dogs, fighting dogs, etc. Does this translate over to human beings? Are there physical traits that show up in confident people? Funny people? Natural hunters? PhDs? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/sep/07/new-artificial-intelligence-can-tell-whether-youre-gay-or-straight-from-a-photograph

Is there ever any news about Uber that talks about how good of a company it is? Everything I ever hear is about how it lies, cheats or steals it's way forward. https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/08/fbi-probes-ubers-use-of-software-to-target-rival-lyft/

Do you suffer from coulrophobia? Or rather, are you scared of clowns? I'm not scared of clowns, per se, but I do have an aversion to anything that wears that much makeup. http://www.vulture.com/2017/09/the-complete-history-of-scary-clowns.html

The other day I posted an article about how some WWII "war" game became impossible to win if you played the game on "Centrist" mode. That article was satire but the intent of the article was correct: you can't beat Nazis without being willing to confront them. It looks like the creators of the #SouthPark game have a similar idea in mind, but with race. You want to play a white character and the game is easy. You want to play a darker character and the game gets far more difficult. Hopefully this will demonstrate to many other wise oblivious people how difficulty society is for people of color. http://kotaku.com/new-south-park-game-gets-harder-if-you-play-a-black-cha-1801944202

Are you happy where you're at? Could you be happier? You might not have access to flagship devices, but cost and customer service can sometimes override the want of those. I personally can't recommend Republic Wireless, but I've yet to hear a negative word about them. Originally shared by Republic Wireless Huge thanks to One Hundred Dollars a Month for sharing about their awesome experience with us! "...The Girl has no plans to ever switch to any other carrier. She’s become one of Republic Wireless’ biggest cheerleaders!" #WeAreRepublicWireless http://www.onehundreddollarsamonth.com/republic-wireless-best-thing-since-sliced-bread/
