Got leaked earlier, or possibly ‘leaked.’ Either way, there’s a lot of stuff in there for the comic book fans, it seems.

Starts up close to dusk my time, but other folks should have a better shot at seeing it. Cool.
These two sentences from Dan McLaughlin’s article on close elections are the most important, I think:
For whatever reason, when statewide races are decided by less than 1 point, Democrats win almost three-quarters of the time.
And
When the margin opens to 1-2 points, that advantage dissipates, and the Democrats win only half the races…
You can write an entire adventure around this:
#Esoterrorists! RT @BoingBoing: Taylor Swift tops chart with accidental release of 8 seconds of white noise http://t.co/aYFghh7EUB
— ESOTERIC FLAIR (@teenmethuselah) October 22, 2014
…and note that I’m not making any jokes about Taylor Swift in particular, here. I figure that the kids can have their music in peace and quiet without the old farts sneering at them. God knows that that being done to me ticked me off, when I was their age…

PS: I assume that all of you know what The Esoterrorists is.
This one is, obviously enough, Call of Cthulhu related; but I did not get the bonus titles this time. I already own them all, thanks largely to Kickstarter. Happy as all get-out to get the core stuff, none of which I had already. By all means, check it out.
“Silverside.” Updates Tuesday and Thursday. Automata, for those who haven’t read the series yet, are hard-boiled detective stories set in an alternate Depression-era world where sentient robots were invented… and then promptly – well, click the link for the stories. This new one is definitely something to look forward to.

Haven’t done the original one in a while, actually. Or… ever?
This is starting to offend my professional pride.
Second White House botch on Braley. WH press office releases transcript w/ subject referring to him as “Dem candidate for *governor*”
— Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) October 22, 2014
Maybe the White House should possibly do Bruce Braley a favor and, you know, shut up or something? – At least, that’s probably how Braley is feeling right now. Personally, I think that Barack Obama should come stump for the guy. Oh, wait, that’s because I don’t have Braley’s best interests at heart.

Do tell. Do tell.
Rookie mistake.
Shaheen claimed she never opposed nuclear. She protested the Seabrook station.
— Drew Cline (@DrewHampshire) October 22, 2014
Really and truly, she did claim that.
Because there’s this thing called YouTube now, you know:
RT @BDayspring: Video of Jeanne Shaheen opposing Nuclear power in 1987. She directly lied during debate. http://t.co/PZSmbusv4M #NHpolitics

Continue reading Jeanne Shaheen caught lying about her opposition to nuclear power.
…and, yeah, Goat Simulator really is as stupid-awesome as it looks.
Although I suspect that people don’t play it for several thousand hours.
