My kid won her first ever trophy today. And had an awesome time learning how legislation happens (minus all the complete bullshit that happens when grown-ups legislate).

Reign Clip (by CWtelevision)

So there’s a clip now for Reign, the new CW teen drama about Mary, Queen of Scots. This looks terrible. Absolutely terrible.

It’s a bad concept to begin with. The costumes look cheap. The language is anachronistic. The dialogue is bad. The casting is horrible and not even remotely reflective of history. The scene is, frankly, embarrassing to watch.

The CW ought to be ashamed, and this garbage project should never see the light of day. I am honestly appalled that people got paid to think this up, actually write it, and produce it for public consumption.

Bought the digital editions of the first four issues of Princeless for my daughter today. So far she seems to be enjoying them.

Watched: Star Trek - Into Darkness

The buzz leading up to this movie, with all the absurd secrecy over the plot, almost made me not want to see it, and the identity of Benedict Cumberbatch’s villain turned me off even more, but I actually ended up mostly enjoying it in spite of a couple of glaring problems.

**Spoilers under the cut.**

"

Marty Nemko, a career coach, author, columnist, and radio host, argues that the most successful and contented people prefer a heavily work-centric life over work-life balance.

…

He argues that many people who champion work-life balance aren’t overworked, but are using the term as a politically correct tool, a smokescreen for the desire to not do work.

Real Winners Don’t Have Work-Life Balance - Business Insider

Yes. Right. “Work-life balance” is just a PC term for laziness. If people aren’t willing to work 70-100 hours a week, then they just aren’t good enough for success.
