$1: war planes labeled pghrt.diy. 2: a wise man tells Foreground Child to look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power. there is a url you can find in our bio that is very long, very funny, and better than Katie's web site post$

"They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

then at least your basic liberal comedian is going to think "well, maybe they have a point, but both sides" and "oh, it's all overblown" and take the job even if it's a couple of hundred quid for two lines for a character so minor they're not on the wiki

(and get super defensive once people notice)

As some random respectableish and comfortable person, I mean. Not the sort of person to get updates from weirdos online.

At most you'll hear about what online t-slur freaks are saying about her in the context of their continued unjustified harassment of her, if it's even covered at all.

And how would you investigate it when the entire British media is solidly on her side?

FACT: the seven goblins lived by eating the colour from rainbows. for that reason they were known as the rainbow goblins.

In this specific case she said she was on her period because he wasn't taking no for an answer. Of course, the British justice system and media are the British justice system and media, so she's the one convicted and punished (with much more rape, because that's how prisons work for trans people).

This is why when my sf minis games hit an airfield/spaceport/whatever there's usually a piper cub or something there. I'm sure it's obsolete even with a fancier engine and some random tablet doing all the avionics, comms, and navigation, but it also costs like three spacebucks to knock together.

there is a tabletop rpg with the premise that someone invented a time machine, but it only goes back to a specific date and you can't change the present or bring things back with you.

the military got excited then sold it off as useless.

the company that bought it couldn't find a way to sell it.
