This all seems accurate to me. It's tired up in maximising player agency and adventures which are location based rather than event based.
The thing about this fascist take over is it has been telegraphed, planned out, on the surface, barely even dogwhistled, for a decade. A decade. And liberals (and a fair number of leftists) have spent the decade telling us to calm down, stop being hysterical, stop exaggerating

A huge amount of work right across the women's sector for years went into developing an approach to misogyny that would address its real world manifestations. By the way, everyone agreed that trans inclusivity should be part of that. The Misogyny Bill was ditched in favour of this, which will be bad

“She’s the exception, I am the rule.”
Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bell’s detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!
If I was Maya Forstater, and I had dedicated my life to decimating the rights trans people have in this country by claiming they pose some kind of safety threat to women, I probably wouldn’t pay money to be surrounded by a group I claim to be so frightened of and that pose an inherent safety risk.
Surely this is one instance where making a prequel makes more sense?

I don't wanna hear a fucking word from this man ever again besides, "I'm sorry. I realized I was wrong. I quit Harry fucking Potter. I support transgender people."

I'm beginning to think that someone decided pulling the plug on society was the only option.
This is hilarious.
Also, completely enraging.
So that’s that, right? We don’t have to put up with endless drivel about how expensive it is to save the planet abd ourselves ever again? Cool.
This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

Can we PLEASE skip the part where the UK experiments with fascism/faragism/trumpism and go straight to, say, a national Green New Deal and a huge arts revival?

I have played a session of this run by Brian’s co-author @johnthehedge.bsky.social - it manages to do weird and post-apocalyptic and ominous without making people into (complete) gobshites. Recommended!
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

We have manage to find some nice tricks to track details without too much hassle though so you might find some interesting bits.
Most we handle these things with a light touch mechanically to leave groups with the latitude to handle the fiction how they like.
Watch this space though, we have almost finished work on Embers version 1.3 which will be coming to KickStarter later this year!
Or there's a PWYW Quickstart if you want to have a look before you buy!
