Monica Coglan was cross-examined for 13 hours by Archer’s lawyers in the libel trial. She was frequently in tears as her entire life and character was attacked. She died in a car crash before Archer was found guilty of perjury in that trial. Before it was found she’d told the truth all along.

the fun part about being trans is that not only will you get paid less and treated worse at your place of work most of the time but you'll also have your job prospects cut down by about 95% the moment any interviewer sees you and clocks the transness

When I was a freshman, I disclosed to a group of male friends that I’d never been drunk before. Two guys were like, let’s get you drunk this Saturday, it’ll be fun. It was fun! There was loud talking and dancing and nothing bad. They cut me off before hangover level. That’s what’s supposed to happen

Notice the absence of the traditional olive branch? The olive branch symbolized America prioritizing peace with war as a last resort. It has been part of the Great Seal of the United States since 1782 and was part of the original seal of the Department of Defense.

The Resonance System is a risk-reward upgrading mechanic used with the Attunement Station to give unique special traits to tools and armour

- Traits are similar to enchantments, giving you unique mechanics or buffs to your tools.
- Resonance Bar (0%–100%): Tracks instability built up on an item.
- Lustre (Gold Ingots): Used to attune the tool. The higher the Lustre amount, the higher the chances of sucesss.
- adding Gold also increases the tool's Resonance when the attunement finishes (the lustre used converts into resonance)
- Temperance (Quartz): used to stabilize (temper) an item, reducing its built-in Resonance level
- Burden: Every Attune or Temper attempt adds +1 Burden to the item. An item can take up to 10 Burden total before reaching its limit, afterwhich it's locked in its state and cannot be upgraded
- Blight Risk: If the combined total of an item's current Resonance + added Lustre gets close to, hits or exceeds 100%, attempting an attunement runs a critical risk of destroying the item, turning it into Blighted Slag
- Amplifiers: These are items that infuse with your tool to give it the traits you chose. Emerald shards for example give Prosperity related traits. Each shard or item has a set of 3 traits it can provide

This is an important statement people, and especially elected Dems need to really understand. The current Republican project is one of destruction, by design. Yes, they have other goals, in RFK’s case he’s objectively pro-disease, but their primary metric of success is breaking government.

We’ve had so many “Any Other Presidency Would Be Ended By This” statements that it feels banal to point out, but suggesting the deaths of millions of people by a foreign power would be a fine cost because they’re politically inconvenient should end a presidency in any functioning democracy.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

A bit of advice to what's left of the Republican Party. Your focus on investigating conspiracies that you know in your heart are a lie does the country NO GOOD.
