It's the biggest movie of the year/all time.

It's lagging Force Awakens though, I dunno if it can take the All Time title.

My plan for the coming corporate dystopia is to just pledge to Disney early on and hope that gets me a somewhat cushy position, so it is in fact indirectly good for me if they get richer.

10" is fine. Single pages are perfectly readable - they're like 80% the size of a physical comic - and double pages are generally okay provided the tablet as a remotely modern resolution (at least 1080p), but occasionally need some zooming. Bigger is better for comics, but as much as I like my iPad Pro Huge Edition, I find it to be too big for most everything else and have a hard time recommending it as a result.

Is the 12.9 inch at all comfortable to hold? I have a 9.7 that I'm using right now and I'm leery of the 12.9s because I'm used to the smaller ones and I'm worried it won't be comfortable to hold up with one hand when I'm reading in bed.

9.7/10.5 is plenty for comics, by the way, I've had no troubles.

I heard some phone makers got in trouble for deliberately releasing software that slows down older machines. I think it was apple. Worth looking into.

It was Apple and the truth is more complex. App development targets the newest hardware and over time, as your phone gets further and further away from that level of processor speed, it draws more and more power to keep up -- using silly, simplified numbers to explain that, if an app needs 40 calculations done every second, your phone can do 50 calculations per second, and the newest phone can do 100, your phone is drawing twice the power to do the same task. In an effort to conserve battery life, Apple put in a thing that'd notice phones doing that past a certain threshold and go "look just limit yourself to a certain power drain level and slow the program down if you need to". It got bad press because they did it in secret and intentionally slowing performance down is never a good look.

Unless a celeb is actively posting video or doing live events it's likely their assistant is doing the posting for them. Stephen Amell is one of the few celebs that handles all his own social media and I actually believe it.

Stephen King spends way too much time posting pictures of his pet corgi for it to be anyone else.

The Stan Lee poo poo just keeps getting weirder and weirder, though.

I would've gone bananas trying to keep track of all the characters and outfits appearing during the fights of jla/avengers 4, so kudos to busiek and Perez

From what I remember that was all Perez, who decided on his own that he was going to get every last Avenger or JLAer in, and every single one of their costumes at least once, because he knew he'd never get another chance at this and also he's insane enough to think it was possible in the first place.

Wasn't The Leftovers pretty good?

I bailed after four episodes because watching it felt like I was having a conversation with the show that was going like this:

The Leftovers: People disappeared! Nobody knows why!
Me: Great, so what happens next?
The Leftovers: No answers will ever be provided for why they disappeared!
Me: Okay so like, are the events you're showing me important, or...?
The Leftovers: Not all things can be known! You'll just have to deal with that!
Me: Right, but like... you've heard the saying about how stories should start as close to the end as possible, right? So if a portion of the world disappearing and all the immediate fallout from that event are just the background events, what happens now is going to be even more interesting than that, right? You didn't take that saying too far and start the story after it ended, did you? Just... I just need something to happen, or I need you to show me that something is going to happen, or... loving meet me halfway, here.
The Leftovers: It's like a metaphor for death and the human condition! Life doesn't always have answers!
Me: Right, I'm out.

The A.V. Club loved the show, but even from the gushing reviews I never got the impression that the show had stopped doing end-zone dances on the 20 yard line over how goddamn clever it was.

I mean, it�s true Hamilton didn�t own slaves, mostly because he was too busy selling slaves for other people.

Dude that's not really a sustainable bar for "not a monster" when applied to wealthy politicians of the eighteenth century. At least Jefferson was also a raping hypocritical fuckstick who invented the smear campaign and died broke because he thought actually paying for poo poo was something that happened to the common folk and not a gentleman like himself.
