"Feral"

Apparently, the conservative line taken by the current government of Australia has prompted large-scale protests.

The Daily Telegraph (owned by the inimitable Murdochs) describes this with the headline "The Ferals Are Revolting".

I think it is worth pointing out that the opposite of "feral" is "domesticated".

I'd say the second Gilded Age has found its "The public be damned" Vanderbilt, if there weren't so much of this crap coming from the poor persecuted 1%ers.

Guardians?

I'm an old-timer WRT comics; when I hear the phrase "Guardians of the Galaxy", I think of Vance Astro, Nikki, Charlie-27, Yondu, Starhawk, and... wossname, the crystal guy. On hearing the name applied to the newer team - several of whose members didn't exist when I quit reading comics, and the other two having died - I was pretty skeptical.

Still, I've seen both of the trailers that have been released, and the film looks like it might be fun. I'll have to think about this. (I mean, really. A talking raccoon? An ent? Drax, who was created to fight Thanos but missed out on the big showdown, then moped around uselessly until his own daughter killed him? (Granted, he was aiming to kill her, but she kinda deserved it....) Gamora, whose spirit should still be trapped in the Soul Gem with Adam and Pip? And... who the hell is this Starlord?)

Buster looks kind of like this. He's bigger, and his coat has more tan in it than white, but that's his face, to a tee.
