Exactly what I thought of. A long way off our rendezvous unfortunately.

This time but, I seem to recall, the Ramans always do things in threes...

So is the 2000AD Facebook page just people complaining that every current image posted of every character isn't exactly the same as when they last read/bought a prog x0 years ago?

Yes. It seems to consist largely of people who haven't bought a prog in decades agreeing with each other that the comic isn't as good as it used to be.

I'm always grateful to Rob Williams for teaching me the word saudade, it's surprisingly useful.

No, no they only spend about 50% of the admittedly limited time I've spent there doing that. The rest of the time they spend slagging the Forum off and calling it mean spirited and full of bullies and nonsense.... they then turn on anyone who defends it as one of the nicest places on the internet, but not perfect, like a pack of rabid dogs...

... its a fun place!

I hardly ever look at it. I'm happy here amongst all you mean-spirited bullies... :D

Sure. And Facebook is populated only by well-mannered and reasoned-thinking individuals.  :rolleyes:

Facetube does get right on my threpennys but it's hard to take most of it seriously. It's generally a bunch of ill-informed muppets getting all emotional over things they misunderstood to start with, pillocks who think the contents of their digestive systems are fascinating and wazzocks who believe their opinions are of vital global importance. (I'm in the third category, mostly.)

I miss the days when we had a righteous cause and a clear enemy to thwart in the JBF.  This new post-truth world of asymmetric inter-platform low-level warfare lacks moral focus and/or colourful villains, and I suspect it's just Zuckerberg and @jack trying to turn us against each other so they can move in and monetise the Art Comp.

The Legendary Shark

I wish they'd monetize the writing comp. :(

Why does joining a library in the UK require me to declare my ethnicity?

Are you sure it's actually required?
It's usually so they have data to illustrate their reach within the community. Postcode, age, gender and ethnicity are all useful for them to know.
