I went to get my hair cut the other day. There was a really long line of people waiting and it moved so slowly that eventually a guy came out and started handing out burgers and chicken to us, and some people had brought beer, so we all had a pretty good time.
In fact, it was a great barber queue

I just learned the German word backpfeifengesicht – a face that needs to be slapped – and I can think of so many people in the public eye for whom it applies.
A mate of mine from Köln has me saved with that name in his phone. I have him saved as Neidbau.

My contempt for CGC “slabbed” comics is well known to some (it’s a complete racket, with grading being entirely subjective, the cases are so bad they can sometimes cause damage to the comic, and to cap it all, they look like crap), but today I discovered there’s a videogame equivalent, WATA, and I nearly facepalmed my head clean off.

Well that was fun. Was in the Post Office just now and the guy ahead of me in the queue (who entered the building about five seconds before me) was standing around with a mask in his hand, occasionally moving it to his face whenever he thought anybody was looking but mostly just standing there gawping unmasked. So I told him to put the mask on. Cue stream of abuse and whining that “it’s fucking broken” (which he clearly knew before he went in the shop). I didn’t bother pressing the point, but he at least did start holding it to his face when he stopped hurling abuse at me.

He could have at least had the decency to shove it down his throat and choke on it.

I saw a tweet from Mike a couple of weeks about masks and every day I am reminded of it.
“It’s mainly men who don’t seem to understand that breathing is something their nose does, isn’t it?”
the mask needs to go OVER the nose.

Even during Millarworld, Tim left the board for periods of time for various reasons. I can see him coming back some time down the road.
I am not sure about Bernadette’s reasons but I hope she comes back in the future. She was a very positive presence.

Without going into too much detail Tim wrote to me directly. He has issues with how various social media platforms affect him personally, not always for the better. He is supportive of the board but just needed time away.
He may be back, he may not be but don’t take his actions as reflecting a negative view on this place or necessarily anyone in his digital sphere.

It’s quite funny now with people getting angry that things like Tenet and WW 1984 are not being put directly onto premium on demand streaming. 90 days later now they are put onto DVD/iTunes anyway.
Back in the day – wait 5 years and pay 10-15 times as much as a cinema ticket for the pleasure.

Yeah, the low cost and ease of access to entertainment now is really crazy compared to back then.
(It’s the same for gaming too – you can get a lot of games for a fraction of what most games cost in the 80s and 90s, and they offer days and weeks of engagement rather than just a couple of hours.)

Wow, that’s crazy. Maybe Samsung can start making deepfakes to pretend he’s alive.
Korea is an interesting place. I remember there used to be a number of crashes with the national airline, and it was later revealed that probably the main problem was an inherent unwillingness to point out others faults, and adherence to strict hierarchy meaning faults were tolerated or covered up rather than fixed.

Honest question: why the hell are we being told to use table service?
Table service should be safer because the server shouldn’t come anywhere near *any* customers. They should keep their distance whilst taking orders, and leave the order on a trolley/side table, so they can keep a safe distance from the customers at all times.
Any bar or restaurant that isn’t doing that has not understood the guidelines.

Honest question, have you ever been to the bar in even a semi – busy pub?
Your theory works if only the 4 people in question go to the pub that day. If you have 20 tables and they all go up to the bar at the same time you get this scenario. If you are ordering 4 drinks you’ll ask your mate to come up with you as only those with very large hands can carry 4 pints at the same time.
Table service is in place to avoid crowding at the bar, where strangers from different tables are nestled together trying to get served. It’s that simple
