Hi all!

I'm doing some minor operational work tonight. It should be transparent, but there's always a chance that something goes wrong. The main thing I'm touching is testing a replacement for Apache2 (our web server software) in one area of the site.

Thank you!

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

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.

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 scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

A shout out to all in Minnesota who are doing a spectacular job of peacefully pissing off people in power (That came out more Stan Lee than I expected).

More of the Epstein files were released, and I've lost track of what is being released to distract from what because it seems to be a Möbius strip.

In what I think must be a first, Disney+ dropped all the episodes of their Yahya Abdul-Mateen II led "Wonder Man" series. One might suspect lack of confidence in their product in not even giving it a weekly release.

On the plus side, The Muppet Show special airs this week, and I think we all need something like that right now.

A documentary about the current FLOTUS also arrived to be greeted by reviews which were a gift to the sarcastic (My favourite remains "If they showed this as an in-flight movie, the audience would STILL walk out") and lots of photos of empty cinemas, though it did manage to get bums on seats in the US.

The Grammy's happened but, since my musical awareness rarely extends beyond oompah-bands and/or Himalayan throat-singing I don't feel qualified to comment.

Name: Milo

Age: 18

I mostly post about: Just me talking about my thoughts and interests, and what I’m currently doing.

My hobbies and interests are: I like books and music a lot, and I will probably talk about them often. I also like learning things though I’m pretty inconsistent. I mainly enjoy learning about anything having to do with history and language. And I’m currently learning Spanish. I also really like dolls, though I don’t collect them much these days. Sometimes I write as well.

My fandoms are: Hmm I don’t really engage with fandoms much. But you can see more of the media I enjoy on my profile.

I'm looking to meet people who: It’d be cool to find people with similar interests to mine. But I’m honestly open to chatting with anyone as long as you aren’t rude or bigoted or anything like that. Feel free to leave a comment anytime.

posting schedule tends to be: I don’t have a set schedule but probably a few times a week or so.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: racism, ableism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, MAGA, and just bigotry in general.

Before adding me, you should know: I am nonbinary/agender and I prefer they/them pronounce though I don’t have a problem with he or she. I’m legally blind and use a screen reader for a lot of things, so I may miss some punctuation or formatting errors in my writing. I’ve basically been isolated and poorly homeschooled for years, so I lack experience in social situations and there may be gaps in my knowledge of things so patience would be appreciated. Finally, I may talk a bit about my mental health struggles and things like that in my journal, although more light hearted or general topics will also be included.

This 56-page annual came out alongside the 52-page JLE annual, while JLA and JLE continued their monthly schedule. A new Justice League Quarterly super-sized comic was in the scripting stages. Giffen and Dematteis were writing all of the above. And the premise of this comic is… “Ha ha, wouldn’t it be ridiculous if the Justice League brand were OVEREXTENDED?”

I mean, imagine Batman or somebody declaring that EVERY hero was a Justice Leaguer! )

Greetings from western Canada

[personal profile] jonw posting in [community profile] addme
Name: Jon (JD) Watson

Age: let's just say I was a BBS SysOp before the internet existed.

I mostly post about: day to say stuff. I tend to lean geeky/tecchy and Canadiana, but I think a lot about lots of things and post topics can get pretty random. I keep it clean, mostly, so you can safely check out my content to decide for yourself :)

My hobbies are: journalling (privately, not necessarily online, but there is definitely overlap), writing, nerding out on home tech projects, self-improvement, and caring for my three dogs. If anyone ever asks you how many dogs is too many dogs, the answer is three.

I'm looking to meet people who: are Canadian OR have geeky job/hobbies OR see normal things in deeper ways OR are sane Linux users (AKA, not the alpha-nerd type of boor) AND are tolerant of the incredibly diverse state the world is in AND kind to things and people that can do nothing for them.

My posting schedule tends to be: Dailyish. Usually more than weekly but I doubt I can consistently hit daily.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: right-wing crap in all its forms, both overt and covert. And, honestly, politics in general. I firmly believe that social media is the worst place to get news or reliably accurate information on anything, and politics has emerged as the most divisive topic to date. Thus, I am not interested in getting involved in political discussions as a general rule.

Before adding me, you should know: I overthink everything and will probably eventually bore you with some deep indepth post about the merits of square toothpicks versus round ones.

"A lot of what I do seems extreme in comparison with other comics — which, given that the industry staple is still superheroes, are mostly going to seem that bit more restrained. But compare my work to some of the current stuff in TV or movies, and all of a sudden I’m not quite that far out there." -- Garth Ennis

We’re celebrating what I think is really interesting about the original character and concept. I’m going back and reading all of the early Silver Age appearances from the first detective stories. I thought there was something with this character that can see into people’s minds, but has a truly alien perspective that even Superman doesn’t possess, that was really powerful and interesting. -- Deniz Camp

Optional: If you would like your secret's fandom to be noted in the main post along with the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret. If your secret makes the fandom obvious, there's no need to do this. If your fandom is obscure, you should probably tell me what it is.
