“heresurie: @Silvermodak You are officially back on twitter with a bang. That was class.” —http://twitter.com/heresurie/status/137678876028579840

I won’t repeat my childish tweet regarding Jesse J (or whatever the fuck her name is) and her antics involving Children in Need here. In retrospect it was a little TOO harsh.

Soooo….

So I have a blog. It’s a new experience for me, I’ve never really been big on typing out a lot of stuff but just now a lot of things are making me angry.

So I’m going to add a lot of information I think people should know about that they don’t. Or don’t pay attention to. I do have a tendency to rant on and I can see people switching off when I get going so maybe this is the best way to actually be heard?

Or maybe I’ll just post a bunch of random shit and have fun doing it.

Can Marvel actually sell me a subscription?

So Marvel…

Even though I’m a lifelong fanboy who EVEN liked the recent F4 films, you seem to discriminate against me at every turn.

You made me wait for faaaaar too long for a comic app for android. You want to charge me more for delivery than for the actual comic because I don’t live in the US. (Mainly because you can’t be arsed to set up a proper distribution network for subs outside local comic stores as the rest of the world doesn’t really matter (we’ll that’s the vibe I’m getting))

You want me to subscribe?

No.

Now you bring out a new Defenders comic with suitably obscure members.

Touche you bastards.

Where do I sign up?

cognitivedissonance: Is it a radical statement to say the president should have issued this statement long-ago in regards to Occupy Wall Street? Because he hasn’t. I’d like to take this moment to point out how much Wall St. gave Barack Obama in 2008… Goldman Sachs: $1,013,091 JPMorgan Chase & Co: $808,799 Citigroup Inc: $736,771 UBS AG: $532,674 General Electric: $529,855 Morgan Stanley: $512,232 Latham & Watkins: $503,295 Total: $4,636,717 Here’s the top two recipients of donations from the financial/securities and investment sector since 2012: As far as Wall Street, Obama’s already received over a third of what they donated in 2008 for the entire cycle. Though we can see who Wall Street’s favorite is for the GOP side. I don’t think it’s possible to deny the influence of corporate Wall Street dollars in our elections.  Let’s take Goldman Sachs as an example. Here’s their break down for 2012: They’ve donated a total of $1,858,958 thus far, $508,609 to Democrats and $1,350,349 to Republicans, for a 27%/73% split. Compare to 2008. By the end of the election cycle, Goldman Sachs donated $6,025,681. Of that, $4,489,893 went to Democrats, and $1,525,448 went to Republicans for a 75%/25% split. This is why I laugh nearly uncontrollably when I hear Fox News talking about Obama’s occupiers. He’s not on our side, guys. Essentially, we’re supposed to support democratic movements elsewhere, not here at home. God forbid you actually participate. Gotcha.
