icon_ukIn 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.
President Biden has faced criticism for not imposing harsher sanctionsss against Saudi Arabia after a US intelligence report found that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had approved the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The CPAC convention happened in the US, with former President Trump in attendance, suggesting he's not done with politics yet.
300 schoolgirls kidnapped last week in Nigeria have been found and released
Three Polish women have been found not guilty of casusing offence after producing artwork showing the Virgin Mary with a rainbow halo in a statement on LGBT rights.
The fireball of a large meteor was visble over parts of the UK a couple of nights ago. Suggestions this was in any way retaliation for the Perseverance mission to Mars have been denied by the Government, whose offical statement was "The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, they say".
French electronic music duo, Daft Punk announced their retirement after 28 years. This is also presumably not linked to the fireball, which wasn't coming to take them back to their REAL home in deep space.
Dr Hibbert of the Simpsons will now be voiced by an actual person of colour. Kevin Richardson is taking over the role from Harry Shearer, after the creators announced last year that white actors would no longer portray non-white characters. Thirty one years into the show's run is perhaps a little late in the day, but every little helps.
