I just came back from shopping and had no problem getting in and out of Costco and Walmart. I'm glad to see that the virus shopping crowds have dissipated.

Something did get through to me over this, and I understand something I don't think I did before ('what about' -ism is one of those -isms that are overly popular these days). No worries from me. Moderators are like editors and if something I contribute isn't wanted or doesn't fit I understand. Keep hanging in there!

Your answer is biased most likely based upon your current buying habit sir. The more important and to the point question now that summer heat has arrived would be who's the stronger body odor? Hulk or Thor? 'cuz ya' know: madder Hulk gets stronger Hulk gets...

So what happened to Newsarama? Just went on their site and it looks totally different. Guess it was sold again?

From what I understand, They were bought out by some video game news company, and merged with their Games Radar site. It also no longer allows ad block and is filled with pop ups and self-starting video ads, from what I read. I haven't visited Newsarama in a dog's age (since most of their articles were replaced with simple press releases and listicles after their last redesign) but it's a shame to see the brand die an ignoble death. -M

I still check Mark Evanier's blog daily.. it's excellent still (and been reading him since his columns in the tabloid paper version of CBG)
Peter David's is very good too, but he tends to only update on Fridays (unless you're a member of his Patron), and he is very political these days, so not sure I should even recommend it here . . . but I happen to agree with almost everything he writes every week.

Just tried to check in on the great Dial B for Blog, but it's all gone. Robby Reed, RIP. Shame. I used to love a site called X-Entertainment (no, it's not porn related) that was a big, geekery fueled nostalgia blog. Later the guy who made that went on to create Dinosaur Dracula. But because of that, X-E is totally abandoned and the creator doesn't want it saved/hosted via Internet Archive because he views his X-E stuff as "Sophomoric". Felt like a total gut punch because you could read his enthusiasm and love for things that he was writing about, even if they were nonsensical at times
