I'm a non-presenting trans woman wandering on the net; I'm part of the SF, Comic, Fantasy, Role-Playing & Furry fandoms, and mostly I want to make people happy. FYI, I'm 60. :P I block and report bots and trolls on sight. And sometimes go a-huntin.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

The Pegasus concept by Sternbach was to reuse Ent-C parts. I was really curious it would look like if it was made from Probert Ent-C parts instead. I made really rough mock up using parts from the STO model to get an idea of the end result. [I believe the original STO model is by Tobias Richter]

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
