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 scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
If you are in the US and planning on voting in the Mid-Term elections (and we always encourage members to vote in their local and national elections), you might want to double check that you are registered to do so.
Mentioning this as apparently Texas has quietly unregistered about a million people from it's electoral rolls. This page helps you identify if you are still registered to vote in your State
It made the addenda of last week but worth reflecting on the scale of the pop culture icons we lost last week, with Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and Peter Cullen in the space of three days.
"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds", surprised everyone by having something akin to a "regular" Star Trek episode!!
"Lanterns" episode 3 steered straight into some fascinating, and uncomfortable to watch, social and political commentary on how John Stewart trained to become a Green Lantern, and the Guardians being REALLY bad at their prep work when recruiting on a planet for the first time.
