And when they turn the power on it’s sure to dim the lamps,
“At plus and minus fifteen volts and fourteen hundred amps.”

Oh, for crying out loud, Apple.
Do. Not. Comply. In. Advance.

Once again for the potential marks these hucksters are aiming at:
1. There is more Helium-3 more readily available on Earth than on the Moon.
2. Fusion power is still 10-20 years away from being commercially viable, as it has been for the last 70 years.
3. Moon dust is vile crap which is already known to gum up machinery very quickly.
I have shares available for a Trans-Atlantic Tunnel if you want to invest in something a little less risky.
Diane Duane has been interviewed in the Dublin Inquirer and the interview is an absolute delight.
(So is she, of course.)

It is 222 A.D. You are the transgender Empress Elagabalus, "call me not a man for I am a woman". Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1776. You are "Public Universal Friend", a transmasculine nonbinary Quaker. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1906. You are Karl M. Baer, a trans man undergoing sex reassignment. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1930. You are Lili Elbe. Transitioning is new and experimental. (to be fair you did get a uterus transplant.)
It is 1966. You are in Compton's Cafeteria with a bunch of other trans people when the owners call the cops to throw you all out. You riot. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1969. You are Marsha "pay it no mind" Johnson. You are in a mob-run gay bar when the cops attack. You throw a brick. There is a bit of a scuffle. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 2026. You are a transgender adult or child listening to the NYT and British Guardian claim this is the first generation anyone has tried transitioning in. Transitioning is new and experimental.

As mentioned already in the comments, deffo looking to become a councillor.
(Note for non-Brits: local councillors or would-be councillors are frequently pictured looking sadly at potholes, especially when an election’s coming up. It’s passed through being a cliché and become a tradition.)

Well, I’ve found investing in Lamborghinis to be financially irresponsible, so I guess that fits.
For anyone who thought Reform were on the side of “real” women, they just regard them as walking wombs. Their Gorton and Denton candidate certainly thinks so.
