ReadKit for Mac Updated

A [new version of ReadKit](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/readkit/id588726889?mt=12&at=10l5TL)[^f4625], has been released with [new sharing options](http://webinhq.com/blog/brand-new-icon-sharing-and-more/). I really, really want to love this program and use it as my Mac FeedWrangler client. I never seem to never be able to get a sync to complete with it, however.

Jimmy Palmiotti on the Upcoming Harley Quinn Series

> I will say that the people that have trusted [Amanda Connor and I] in the past with characters like Power Girl will understand that we are approaching Harley with the respect the character deserves, and there will always be an element of fun to the work we do. We are huge fans of what Paul Dini and Bruce Timm created, and hope we can do them proud with this book.

I am giving the book a shot. I hope they do a good job with my favorite comic book character.[^fn1]

[^fn1]: Or, at least, try to pull back some of the horrible things that the New 52 has done to her.

Snowpiercer to be Dumbed Down for American Audience

The comment from The Weinstein Company is just offensive:

> TWC people have told Bong that their aim is to make sure the film ‘will be understood by audiences in Iowa … and Oklahoma.’

I really wanted to see this movie, but I will probably skip it now to avoid adding to Weinstein’s profits.

“Villainy in the Sky” fireworks to debut during “Unleash the Villains” Limited Time Magic evening event at Walt Disney World

I wish that this was going to be a regular show at The Studios, especially for the nights there is not a Fantasmic! show.[^fn1]

[^fn1]: Of course, with the Osborne Family lights showing in November and December, there probably not a need for a show during those months.

It is Too Bad Apple Bloggers Do Not Recognize the Media’s Bias Outside the Apple Context

Rush Limbaugh mentions something that I have been thinking a lot lately:

> The way you [,Apple Bloggers,] see [the majority of the tech media] propping up Samsung and Google and Android and the way these guys are ripping Apple to shreds, would you try to see that in the mainstream media? Would you open your eyes and see what’s going on in the mainstream media? Would you try to open your eyes and see that in the mainstream media, the Republican Party is Apple, and the Democrat Party is Samsung, Google, and Android.”

It is really too bad that more of the tech bloggers do not recognize that same type of misdirection is happening over in the political side of the news media, too.[^fn1] It feels like it is a waste of their analytical skills.

[^fn1]: This recent [quote from Ben Brooks](http://brooksreview.net/2013/08/post-facts-sort-of/) about the continued NSA scandal reminded me of Limbaugh had said: “That’s on me for not fully reading the source documents and taking the Post at its word.”

All Ears Review of Flying Fish Cafe

This review is well-timed, since Flying Fish is one of the restaurants that is on the cut-line for the honeymoon. After reading it, I would say that Flying Fish’s chances of being a honeymoon meal have increased.

New Column from WDW Radio about Couples at Walt Disney World

Felicia and Sean will be writing a column for couples going to The World[^fn2]. Here is their background:

Now, that sounds familiar.[^fn1]

[^fn1]: Well, I guess still have a few months until I get so celebrate my honeymoon there.

North Carolina coach Roy Williams can end the P.J. Hairston chatter

I agree. It’s ridiculous for Coach Williams to complain about having to answer questions when he has the power to, essentially, put an end to those questions.[^fn1]

[^fn1]: Of course, ending the questions about what PJ’s punishment *will* be, will just start the discussion of what PJ’s punishment *should have* been.

Inside the Disney Parks pavilion: How Imagineering successfully skirted big announcements at the 2013 D23 Expo | Inside the Magic

An interesting take by Ricky Brigante over at *Inside the Magic* on the lack of major theme park announcements at D23. I still would have preferred Disney to have made a major announcement about a Star Wars land, but Brigante’s article makes me feel better.
