There has to be an XKCD webcomic on it.

Pffft. Air Traffic ‘Suggestors’. What do THEY know? I’ve been confounding those vile, ranting curs for decades!

Of course. I adore your work and was reluctant to mention it but I am incapable of keeping my mouth shut.

Not to take away from your great thread but if a Jet Ranger is travelling at 300mph it must be exploding.

His Big Bad Wolf rap battle with Jemaine Clement in Legion takes up some space inside my skull.

I’m thinking WW2 propaganda style artwork. Giant green claw labeled ‘Hibernian Menace’ stretching across the Atlantic to loom over a map of the US.

In fairness, it could be utter bollocks. My dermatologist told me anything about 50 is a bit pointless for me anyway and I should stay in the coffin until sunset.

It’s barely adequate with multiple applications.

I remember it well. The ‘yellow pack’ contracts of the early 90s and thousands more applications than they had spots.
We’re fortunate enough that our boys were sure of university (if they wanted it) but it’s insane to expect people to risk life and limb for an education.
I fucking hate it here.

The minute my lads entered the final year of second school the military began sending them recruitment materials in the post. The schools pass on the information to the recruiters (who compete viciously between the branches. Army, Navy, Air Force etc) and invite them to assemblies at the schools

All deliberately maintained to provide a steady flow of recruits. No healthcare? Hey, join the military. No money for college? Hey, we’ll pay for it after you get out. Not a citizen? We’ll speed up the naturalization process for you.
Universal healthcare/education would crater the numbers.

The new British passport has done something incredible though. It’s made the US one look tasteful and refined.

Be interesting to see how many of them discover they’re trans when they get their call-up papers

It’s awful. Non-stop radio egos competing with each other to see who loves the sounds of their own the most.

It’s such a difficult balance. Too much engagement can be taken as endorsement. Too little pushes them deeper into the echo chamber. I wish you all every success.

I’m glad they’re trying. Too many people shrug their shoulders and avoid confrontation for their own peace, ease and comfort. Or even worse, take you to task for speaking up.

In my own experience with this very thing they tend to be quiet about it unless they’re amongst ‘friends’ and not going to get the jaw boxed off them.
Any pushback or challenge sends them scuttling for cover. I’m not shy about dragging them.
I’m very sorry you’re dealing with this.

UK tabloid slating Caroline Cossey was a very shit way for smallie me to learn something enormous about myself. Bad.
Some years later, my biology teacher explaining (without judgement) how powerful hormones were and that they even allowed some people to ‘change sex’ got ALL my attention. Good.

Good point. I was ordering it along the lines of my own experience with the brand. Or aspirational anyway. I haven’t actually used one of their rockets.
Yet.

The one in the photo is the direct line ‘upstairs’. The red one for ‘downstairs’ is a mobile that he keeps on vibrate and ‘secreted’ on his person.
