I keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.

Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)

We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.

Max’s replacement looks ready to make Peter Gyrich look like Edwin Jarvis. But maybe he won’t be so ba--

( Never mind, he just held a three-hour efficiency meeting and spiked the donuts with Scarecrow fear toxin ‘‘to instill respect.’’ )

"The Dark Knight faces off against his most villainous adversary — The Joker — in this 5-issue miniseries written and illustrated by Sam Kieth (SCRATCH, The Maxx)! Kieth weaves a dark tale of violence and mayhem, and how heroes are treated by the media and viewed by the public. As Batman and The Joker face off, their confrontation is inadvertently caught on film — and Gotham's protector appears to be pummeling Joker without mercy, much to the delight of the frenzied press! Plus, a secret from young Bruce Wayne's past is revealed!" -- DC

The time sequence between these two is a little ambiguous, but best I can tell, JLA Annual #5 comes first.

When last we left the League, J’Onn and Fire were screaming at Guy, Guy was depressed and pushing Ice away, Beetle was depressed and injured, General Glory was ineffective, and Max just had to top everyone else by getting shot. ( Rich people always make it all about THEM, don’t they? )

"What a thrill it is to write Jessica Jones. The original Bendis and Gaydos run is legendary, the Kelly Thompson and Mattia de Iulis books are amazing, and Jessica is on TV again. It is the Year of Jessica Jones for the 25th year in a row, let's go. It's not often you get to witness the birth of an iconic character in your lifetime, and it's even rarer when you get to write them too. She's relentless, sharp, and sarcastic as hell, three things we all need in 2001 and 2026. All love to Bendis and Gaydos; they really snapped with Jessica Jones." -- Sam Humphries

... But Not Precisely Lively, Either

It's been too long since I last posted, or checked in with other folks' journals. My energy levels have been up and down like a yoyo, and even the ups aren't where I'd like them to be. It means that there are some days when I'm happy at having completed one or two things, and there are other days when I can't even get those one or two things done.

I've been active on Discord, but I don't want to hang there all the time, or certainly not hang there to the detriment of some of my other spaces. I'm trying to find and keep friends and friendly acquaintances in different places. You'd think that that kind of adulting wouldn't be difficult. You would be wrong.

I've managed to push through a bit on my writing. I've managed (ihopeihopeihope) to have prevented more mouse incursions. I'm thinking of putting some more of my old poetry up on

originalkaffy_r , but who knows if I'll actually do it. I've gotten some reading done away from the laptop as well.

I bought the new BTS album and, once again, can't say why I did that. I'd been listening to the album even before buying it (the first actual music purchase I've made in a long time) thanks to all the songs being on YouTube, and I really like it. But I don't understand ... well, much of what's going on in my head these days.

I imagine I'll figure it out.

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.

The Artemis II mission continues to be a moving and powerful testament to human capability, with some amazing visuals, and some reassuring human touches like naming one of the newly discovered features on the dark side of the moon after the Commander's late wife, and also how to deal with MS Outlook running two instances when you only want one.

Back on Earth, the President of the USA celebrated Easter by using expletives on a social media post, whilst at the same time threatening what are legally war crimes against the civilian infrastructure of Iran, AND mocking Islam. Not a trifecta I had hoped to ever see.

And whilst my personal interest in football (soccer for American readers) remains negligible, I can respect fannish obsession, and this definitely qualifies!

Content warning for fat-shaming and, oh, just a boatload of failure to move past childhood trauma.

With the upcoming “Breakdowns” storyline and their upcoming exit, Giffen and DeMatteis (and Jones) got interested in destructive themes. But “Breakdowns” will be about throwing external issues at the Leaguers. JLA #52, “The Battle of the ~~Century~~ ~~Decade~~ ~~Year~~ Month?,” shows what an internal collapse of the JLI would look like. The only things menacing them here are their own weaknesses of character. That might be enough. Art by pioneering Black artist Trevor Von Eeden.

( Some say the world will end in Fire, some say in Ice…some say, with a screaming fit in a boxing ring. )

Daredevil's back with a new volume and the first issue was very good. But there was one panel that made me laugh out loud...

This was a bit of a mini-saga online last year. An artist did a comic that was somewhat controversial and it resulted in other artists doing their own takes on it.
