When asked on Air Force One if there was anything "incriminating" in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger at the female reporter's face and said “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.”

(1 of 3) Good thing the BBC didn't talk to any January 6 experts before going in this direction.
The United States Capitol grounds were closed on January 6.
It was a federal crime to trespass on them.
Trump told leaders of an illegal march intended to terminate illegally on federal grounds...

During the “Wicked” TV Special, Marissa Bode who plays Nessa Rose, introduced the song “Defying Gravity” saying “Elphaba stands up to a power-hungry dictator” (a remark which earned thunderous applause). Though entirely true in the context of the narrative, her comment was censored and cut by NBC.

The BBC is apologising for its Panorama edit. It shouldn’t. First, the narrative is true: Donald Trump *did* incite the Capitol riot. Second, the apology won’t appease those attacking it. So why not at least stand for something?

The BBC was right about the Capitol riots. In a sane world, Trump would be in jail
The US President faced impeachment over the violence, and in a world where Republicans had more courage, he would have been found guilty

Astronomers have spotted the largest and most distant flare ever observed from a supermassive black hole.
Nicknamed “Superman,” the flare originated 10 billion light-years from Earth, and at its peak, the light emitted shone with the brightness of 10 trillion suns. https://cnn.it/3WFwNNN

What I think they're missing is the goodwill they're trading for a one-time payment. I've never hesitated to buy Arx or cosmetics - if I *might* want to use a customization, I go ahead and get it. I'm regular income for FDev.
This Dodec P2W situation has me leaning toward never buying ARX again.

Don’t lock the Dodec behind a permanent ARX wall.
It seriously devalues the #EliteDangerous moniker and sets a very disappointing precedent for the game.
I urge to you treat the game with the respect it deserves, rather than thrashing it for a few short term cents.
