There is no "Orphan Works Copyright Act."

nashscribblings:

I dunno where that stupid post came from, but there is no such thing as the “Orphan Works Copyright Act.”

Check the US Congressional docket.  I’ll wait.

See?  Not there.  Because it doesn’t exist.

There’s a recommendation the Copyright Office is considering making, based on an existing law for a five-year pilot program.  They’re taking comments on it.  Read the link above.

But the sensationalism is wrong, and Tumblr isn’t helping.  Stop reblogging it.

Leaked Sony Email Reveals Marvel's Distaste For Female Superhero Movies

chaoswolf1982:

In short, the comic industry doesn’t want female-led movies for the same reason Nintendo doesn’t want any movies of their works: “We tried a little before and it sucked, so we’re not gonna try anymore”.

So walk me through the logic, here…

1. Under-budget and under-sell female superhero movies because you don’t believe in them

2. Cast eye-candy “talent” in the lead role who can barely act their way out of a paper bag

3. Have a script that should have stayed in the garbage

4. Use the resultant poor box office to justify never making another female superhero movie

Way to go, fellas. Justify the fuck out of that self-fulfilling prophecy.

Ugh

Just spent damn near 6 hours on the Leyland’s Tour, trying to get the brats home from school.

Fucking floods.

Out of spoons.

Bed is lovely.

Nighty night

NEW VIDEO RELEASED OF MENTALLY ILL MAN TASED TO DEATH IN POLICE CUSTODY FOR “SAGGING PANTS”

On November 26, 2013, 38 year old Ervin Edwards, partially deaf and mentally ill, was arrested by police for sagging his pants and taken to the West Baton Rouge Parish jail in Louisiana. He only lived for a few more minutes inside of the cell.

For 18 months, police have lied over and over again about what happened the night Ervin Edwards died in their custody. Now that a video of their despicable actions has been released, ( Warning very tough to watch ) it’s clear they murdered this man and left him to die all alone in his jail cell. 

Here are the 5 things you need to know:

1. The Video Shows an Officer Held a Taser on Him for 1 Minute, Contradicting Earlier Claims
   
2. Edwards Was Left Alone & Unresponsive in the Cell for 10 Minutes Before He Was Given Medical Aid
   
3. An Internal Review Found No criminal wrongdoing by the Officers
   
4. His Girlfriend Told Officers He Had Health Issues That Could Make the Use of a Taser Fatal
   
5. A Corrections Expert Said the Video is ‘One of the Worst Things I’ve Seen’

Tony Abbott, Australia’s Prime Minister and self-appointed minister of women’s affairs, winks at a radio DJ after Gloria, a 67-year-old pensioner, tells him that she has to work as a telephone sex worker to make enough money to pay for her medical expenses. 

Classy!

Tony Abbott is actually the verifiable worst.

Countdown till conservatives use the mention of gifts for her grandchildren as a reason to dismiss this, because the poor can’t have nice things and if poor children think they still deserve presents they have no motivation to not be poor.

Notice how he stops smiling only when he sees the camera? Like this isn’t real for him at all. All he can think about is the sex part.

I bet he wasn’t even listening until he realised that he was being watched.

Calling him a scum-sucking paramecium is an insult to scum-sucking paramecia.

My muses, my characters, and the workings of my butterfly mind…

I apparently have a poetry muse that only turns up at BF in the morning. If I’m asleep, I miss it.

This muse can also turn up when I’m rat-faced tired. Often, too tired to write anything down.

Same way my story muse tends to bug me when I’m driving the car. Dang muses. Always turning up at inopportune moments.

And then there’s my characters.

Argumentative bunch, the lot of them. Some get really pissy about what they’re doing. One even insists that I learn some more herbology than my usual “five seconds on google” that has covered my arse in the past.

I swear blind that common weeds have herbal applications, but I can NOT find anything anywhere that doesn’t focus exclusively in America. Y'know, because America is the only country that exists or is worth mentioning… [eyeroll]

Meanwhile, I get ten billion and one ideas on other subjects and the prize of being written goes to the plotbunny that chews the most painful part of my imagination in the most niggling way possible.

But, every once in a while, I run out of ideas on where to take everything. When that happens, I go over all my unfinished works [nineteen and counting…] and re-read them to lure a muse back and see where I’m going with it.

Sometimes, this works, and I make progress.

Sometimes, getting a sentence out and onto the page is like pulling teeth. Sometimes, it’s even harder.

On those days, I give up and go play some games.
