(looking deep into her life and its complications) ah yep here's your problem (i point to her sexting relationship with RFK)

It was extremely noticeable I think during Kelli-Jay Keen's Australian tour how shocked a lot of gender critical Brits were when they saw that people who would generally be likely based on demographics to be gender critical in the UK were calling for Keen to be deported etc.

Yeah and I have to say that probably as an Australian I wouldn't notice the weirdness of it as much if I encountered it; even some British people who completely agree with me on the substance are sometimes a bit surprised ime by how much of an outlier their country is

The only thing that I've experienced that replicates the experience of encountering British elite opinion on this was when I first lived in France and discovered the way that otherwise very sweet, liberal-minded people would talk about the Roma.

OK maybe overall the best poster child for Poster's Madness is that Sabine person

you can't just bring back austin powers. the franchise wrote itself into a corner after he volunteered to stay behind forever in the shagadelic dimension to save foxxy and vanessa. they already brought him back once without explaining how he escaped from fembot island, the audience won't buy it

Idea for the new Bond: he should be a tastefully overweight Akan-Celt philosophy professor working on formal Africana social epistemology. His enemies should be Kantians. His catch phrase is "bazinga". I realise some people (racists) wouldn't like this, but, you know, just a thought.
