In 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.
Trumps's increasingly desperate legal challenges are being thrown out left and right (and BY the Left and the Right, several are being made by Judges he appointed) but he can console himself I'm sure by watching them build the stands for the Biden inauguration which are being constructed just outside the White House at the moment.
In the UK, Lockdown 2: Electric Boogaloo ends tonight, and tomorrow the new Tiers come into place... provided the Government wins a vote to approve them this afternoon. The major Opposition parties have announced they intend to abstain from the vote, probably so the can get some popcorn and highlight the in-fighting from a LOT of the Governents own MP's. Even if they win (and they probably will), it will be a serious dent on the Governemnts authority.
In France,
a proposed law which would have made it illegal to record police officers on duty is being pulled following enormous public backlash and huge protests. The case against it was strengthened when video surfaced of four officers beating a black suspect in his own music studio, and it was argued the new law would have prevented that footage being shown (though the Governemtn claims it would not have done)
A strange metal monolith appeared in the Utah desert without any explanation,
then vanished just as suddenly, then
a similar/the same monolith appeared in Romania.
In hopefully completely not worrying apocalyptic news
a dazzlingly bright fireball appeared briefly over Japan. Godzilla was unavailable for comment.
Motorists in Canada are being advised not to let moose lick their windshields in cold weather, for entirely sensible reasons, believe it or not.
The latest episode of The Mandalorian brought priase for it's storyline, action sequences and the introduction of a live action version of Ahsoka Tano, whilst the accusations of transphobic behaviour against Rosario Dawson continued to cause upset.
The man who wore the Darth Vader armour in the original trilogy, David Prowse, died at the age of 85.
He was also well known in the UK as The Green Cross Code Man, who taught road safety via various adverts and hundreds of public apperances at primary schools. (Sadly those adverts were also dubbed)
The trailer for the Doctor Who New YEars Day Special "Revolution of the Daleks" finally dropped and we saw glimpses of the family, the Doctor, Captain Jack and a new design of Dalek which looks a lot like the Recon Dalek from "Resolution" and which Chris Chibnall has been quick to confirm (before fanboys had an aneurysm probably) are NOT replacing the existing design.
