The former has steadily gained popularity in the past 6 years, while the latter has struggled bouncing out of popularity, and remains at roughly the same level as 6 years ago now (at a peak).

This time, how about we begin with the cheery, lighthearted news and links, and then get progressively more depressing and disconcerting?

Oh wow, actually doing work takes a long time, it turns out. Please excuse the delays on further posting while I get the hang of this 'schedule' thing I'm trying out with regards to my university work.
