Alerting/Waiting/Flailing Post for Mark Watches Videos (for June 5 - 9 episodes)



This is where Mark lets us know when the new videos are up (they're usually uploaded all at once). Please do not try to buy a new episode until he posts here (or on Twitter) to say there's something new ready to download. SERIOUSLY.

Link exchanges and donations take place on the Black Market post. Below are links to the store page for each show (just click on the show title), plus a list of the episodes that we expect to be uploaded for the week.

Tell Congress: Don't sell our families out to Wall Street crooks and payday predators. Vote NO on the CHOICE Act.
http://petitions.moveon.org/keystoneprogress/sign...

To quote the email I received from MoveOn.org:

"Elizabeth Warren calls them “tricks and traps.” She meant all the sleazy ways big banks, predatory lenders, and debt collectors work to take billions of dollars from our families. They’re the same schemes that crashed the economy in 2008 -- leaving people without jobs, without houses, and causing their savings to evaporate overnight.

After the big banks crashed the economy, people took action and won reforms to rein in Wall Street abuses. A big part of that was establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB ).

The CFPB is the first federal financial watchdog whose entire job is making sure Wall Street can’t get away with the tricks and traps that bleed millions out of our pockets. The Bureau has recovered $12 BILLION dollars in ill-gotten gains for over 27 million people ripped off by the predatory financial industry.

But here’s the thing: Republicans love the campaign donations they get from Wall Street bankers, payday lenders, and hedge fund managers.They are itching to destroy the CFPB and let Wall Street go wild. That’s why they’ve introduced the Orwellian named “CHOICE Act” that would gut the CFPB and give Wall Street more power to gamble with our economy.

We know full well this bill is the WRONG CHOICE for our families. And it could be up for a vote in the House as soon as next week.

We’ve derailed Wall Street’s agenda before and, if we stand together, we can stop them again. But that means we need to stop the CHOICE Act dead in its tracks.

Tell Congress: You work for us, not Wall Street. We need our government to do more to rein in payday lenders and Wall Street bankers, not give them a free pass to crash the economy again.

This week's Doctor Who
ScarlettMi 2017 Movie Watch

Finally getting back to my quest to review all the movies I watch in 2017. (I've kept track of them all in a nice handy list but the whole ~writing a review~ part kind of fell by the wayside a few months back.)

I'm posting my reviews on my Tumblr as well, so if you'd like to look back at anything before this post, you can do so HERE.

My new book is done and coming out in a couple weeks! Thanks to everyone here who backed or shared the Kickstarter!

I'm now opening up review copies--if you want one, just let me know and I will set you up with a copy of the e-book. All you have to do in return is review it on your blog/YouTube channel/podcast/whatever and link to here. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you an e-book--my gmail and twitter are both froborr, either will work.

Blizzard Stuff?



Thought I'd try creating a thread for Blizzard fans to talk about what they're doing and/or share battletags if interested. Whether WoW, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, Diablo, Starcraft - whatever!

I seek reading suggestions for Neil Gaiman books, having discovered a large bunch of them in one of my downloadable-audiobook libraries. I've already read American Gods, Anansi Boys, Good Omens, Fragile Things, and Smoke and Mirrors. I would prefer something not overtly apocalyptic, at least not in the manner of Good Omens, because he's terrifying good at those. I can read grimdark, but would like a generous amount of whimsy mixed in. Any advice?
