scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than me.
President Biden has granted a pardon to his son Hunter, which he had previously said he would not do, and I suspect he would not have done had the Democrats won, but given Trump has just nominated someone he pardoned (for fraud and witness tampering) to become the new US Ambassador to France (and who happens to be his son-in-laws father) I'm not sure there's much of a counter-argument.
We note the passing of Morgan Lofting, a name you might not recognise but who I suspect, amongst many other roles, was the cause of any number of adolescent... realisations as the stern, bespectacled, leather-clad Baroness on the original GI Joe cartoon.
An article I found, and if I have to live with knowing this is an article which exists, so do you, about the making of the American phenomenon; the Folgers Incest Coffee Ad
Slightly on topic, but DC Infinite is opening up to France, Italy, Germany and Spain.

Just before Christmas, the BBC will release a new edit of "The War Games", coloured and trimmed down from 10 episodes to 90 minutes. It's especially notable for being the last Second Doctor story (as well as the final story to feature Jamie and Zoe as companions), and introduces the Time Lords as the Doctor's people for the first time. It was famously still being written as it was filmed, so there is plenty of padding that can be trimmed, but even some, from somewhere over four hours to a hour and a half should be interesting.
The first two episodes of "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" has arrived on Disney+.
