With this week's issue of 2000 AD marking a whopping *43* years of Thrill-power, we thought we'd look back at anniversary covers of the past four decades - some festive, some not so - starting with our first cover from 19th February 1977 and our latest from 19th February 2020!
(Side note: the cover date of comics used to refer to when newsagents should take an issue OFF the shelves, which means 2000 AD Prog 1 went on sale on 19th February but has a cover date of 26th February. This switched to an 'on sale' date early on in the 2000s.)

yoonminkook au where jungkook unexpectedly goes into rut after hearing yoongi and jimin fuck on the other side of the wall. jungkook thinks that since it’s all their fault, they should be the ones to do something about it, after all.
Jeongguk huffs, aggressively gripping at the pillow he’s using to cover his ears. They’re at it again—his alpha roommate and his omega. And it’s fine.
Jeongguk had survived this past week when Jimin was in heat and spending it with Yoongi and after that, he’d been pretty sure he could survive anything. Except, he couldn’t. Not this. Not when he’s in love with said alpha roommate. And possibly, maybe, his omega boyfriend, too.

Grace Curley: DEM STRATEGY..OPPOSE THE PRESIDENT, RIGHT OR WRONG..

The Democrats in D.C. have a simple, albeit idiotic, foreign policy strategy: whatever President Trump does is wrong.

It doesn’t matter if the action is one they supported hours before. (THREAD, stay with it):
(1) Once Trump makes a decision — it is always, no matter what, the incorrect one.

This leads to, among other things, plenty of tweets, sound bites and think pieces that unfortunately do not age well for the Trump-Deranged.
(2) It becomes clear while sorting through all of the various examples of liberal hypocrisy that some offenders are worse than others.

Regarding these foreign policy fools, it is time to separate the men from the boys.

@battleforeurope Thanks for this. My apologies for a slow response, I’ve been off Twitter for a few days. And as this has become a battle of the long threads, here’s another (very) long thread in response… 1/
@battleforeurope Before I get on to your substantive points, let me say that the problem isn’t that I ‘feel’ misrepresented. I was misrepresented and deliberately so. You say that apart for passing off a headline a quote from me ‘the rest of my thread is a fair analysis of the article itself’. 2/
@battleforeurope So, let me ask you the same questions that I asked previously and which you have not addressed. You claimed that I ‘deny’ that ‘immigration is perceived as problem’ (). Can you provide any evidence for this ‘fair analysis’? 3/

Where does Hezbollah and its support base land in the ongoing mass protests in Lebanon? A thread.
Yesterday, former March 14 official Fares Souaid tweeted that Hezbollah is orchestrating the Lebanese demonstrations, in an attempt to delegitimize the protestors. This is categorically false.
To understand Hezbollah’s relation to the protests (primarily those in areas where the party enjoys a wide support base) one must go back to early 2018.

THREAD—American unions have been decimated. No wonder inequality is booming, writes @greenhousenyt in his new book, "Beaten Down, Worked Up." theguardian.com/commentisfree/… epi.org/event/beaten-d…
@greenhousenyt "Congress hasn’t raised the minimum wage in a decade, the longest stretch without such an increase since the federal minimum wage was first enacted in 1938.
