Thanks to a helpful reminder from @mrgawrjuhs the other day, I remembered that the local art gallery / museum currently has an exhibition of "The World's Funniest / Worst Album Covers"

So this afternoon we went down there to look. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of them there, from the bizarre to the ridiculous to the ... well, incomprehensible.

If you can get to Warrington before the end of January you should go and see for yourself. It's a free exhibtion. But in case you can't, I took photos of the ones that amused or confused me the most. I will post in a thread.

I do feel more than a little sympathy for @ernest.

In January he decided to try to build an ActivityPub based messageboard system.

A month ago he decided the code was stable enough that he could release the first alpha version, and stood up https://kbin.social to demonstrate it.

It attracted quite a few users per day and proved that it might just be an exciting new entry into the Fediverse.

And then Reddit's admins did their thing, and suddenly thousands, millions, tens of millions of users are looking for a new home. And although a few other brave souls have also created kbin instances in the last few days, there's simply not enough capacity to even begin to cope with all the demand.
