Smash JT convinced someone is trying to steal the dick no one wants to see or touch.

Just a reminder that "The Young Turks" perpetrated the Armenian genocide. Uygur is also pro-Nazi. No one should pay him positive attention.

populism is when whining about the nice lady who shows me how the benefits system works

Flattening all opposition to (or support for) a candidate to Israeli control isn't commentary, it's conspiracy. Removing agency from voters is a tool to prevent good faith discussion & debate. And dismissing concern about antisemitism as purely a product of Israeli influence is itself antisemitic.

Platner War Room

The “HR lady” shit bothers me because I’ve been the lone woman in many conference rooms full of cops and engineers who made it abundantly clear that my presence there meant they couldn’t use slurs, and that was a bad thing

In times of strife and upheaval Jews make easy scapegoats. Tale as old as the Anno Domini.

Just ban fucking X already. It's a hate platform.

Who is going to manage the complexities of Medicare for All if you demonize the bureacrats?

Like I said, there are two Democratic men - and one woman - in the Maine Democratic Senate primary. If you're backing the former Republican with a Nazi tattoo and questionable behavior towards women, you're looking for validation, not a candidate.

Honestly, breaking exclusivity was shooting themselves in the foot for short-term gain. I'm 100% sure that the pre-Sharma leadership was incentivized to get revenue at any cost, but that was an obvious brand weakening move that killed XBox console sales.

oh for fuck's sake here we go again with left-populists demagoguing "entrenched bureaucracy" and this shit has 4.5k likes in two hours. we are cooked. this country is over. for the record I think wealthy oligarchs are the ones who hate Mamdani, and I think most bureaucrats voted for him!

The only dead franchises I really want Sega to resurrect are Skies of Arcadia and single player Phantasy Star. What I want most is a Phantasy Star II remake that cuts the game's most dated aspects.

New York will never embrace Trump again, which I think genuinely hurts his feelings.

My favorite Sega character is Ichiban Kasuga and there's no close second.

If the tattoo, racist statements, homophobic slurs, rape apologia, dv, rape fantasies, cheating on his wife on a pedo app... was attached to a candidate with a R next to his name y'all would be demanding he drop out. You would be demanding that his party denounce him.

If we want a robust, functioning government you're going to need a lot of bureaucrats. To say otherwise is slopulism.

KNIIIIIIIIIIISH!!!!!

I don't want to wait for October for the next Castlevania. It's been too long, especially for a proper side scroller.

This is blatantly false. The majority of anti-Platner people I know are pro-Mamdani and find comparing him to Platner insulting.

That "think piece" going around about Platner assumes he's not a fraud. This is the insanity I can't comprehend. He's never ever held office. Never. Not for one minute. He's being propped up by Obama-administration types as a progressive. How is that not the biggest flashing warning sign ever

ME VOTERS: Don't rank Platner. Rank the other 3. Leave him blank. ✍️Write-in Andrea LaFlamme. IMO she's the best of all 3 non-PHustle candidates. Check her out. andreaformaine.com

I'm blocking everyone who shares this article uncritically. It's conspiratorial shit defending You Know Who saying any claims of antisemitism against him or his defenders are disingenuous and done in the name of Israel. We shouldn't tolerate this shit.

Are we supposed to destroy the Sith or become them?

Supporting Platner compromises core Democratic values. It should be that simple.

"Defer to women when describing experiences of sexual abuse, assault, and intimate partner violence" is a rule that cannot have a carveout for women with bad politics.

I am so done with people trying to make “no Nazis” something that has nuances in need of parsing. No Nazis. Complete sentence.

The really telling part about Jilani & Stoller using "HR Lady" to describe the situation with Platner is: that didn't involve work / HR at all. By "HR Lady," they mean, "any woman who objects to something I think I should be able to do." Every woman who says "no" is the "HR Lady."

And, of course, even though everyone in mainstream media seems to "forget" this race has a perfectly good progressive candidate who isn't Platner. www.andreaformaine.com

People understand Platner is not running against Paxton, right?

Worst person you know makes a great point.gif

For Matt Stoller and Ken Klippenstein, being a misogynist asshole is fundamental to their definition of masculinity. We don't have guys who are openly like that in high Democratic office, ergo they're not masculine.

No, I never miss an opportunity to reference Dr. Strangelove.

Look, Ma! I found the world's most pretentious Blackwater McEinsatzgruppen supporter!

ah yes the ol Schrödinger’s infidelity

Blockee is correct.

One of the many things going on here is that antisemitism and malignant male insecurity are very often a package deal

Oh, Lord I had a set of those I think back in 1999.

I don't understand how a lot of people don't see that all the excuses for Platner are literally the same thing as the "Well that's just locker room talk" response about "grab 'em by the pussy" It's exactly the same mindset, the same excuses for the same reason on the same basis.

@schatz.bsky.social This rumor better be false. www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

No one should be surprised that a guy with a Nazi tattoo would get antisemitism used in his defense. It's part of why he shouldn't be allowed in the tent, it lowers the bar of entry for antisemitic bigots.

Love getting put on a list called "unapologetic bigots" for saying "believe women unless they have the wrong politics, right?" by tomasorozcocreates.bsky.social. Who's the bigot, Tom?

Look at the poor creatures, though. One more bite this year, and they're going to burst!

Never thought I'd feel better about a Texas dem winning a senate race than a Maine dem. Referring to vibes, but odds. But maybe the odds will swing that way, too.
