Platner’s “AITA” Reddit post is gonna go so hard.

People are right to be mad about the predictable Platner fiasco, but it's worth remembering that last year a ton of establishment Democrats supported disgraced sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo against clean-as-a-whistle Zohran. Tolerating problem men is an issue across the ideological spectrum.

Do people not remember George Mitchell? William Cohen? Edmond Muskie? Margaret Chase Smith? Joshua freakin' Chamberlain?

JFC, just pick @andrealaflamme.bsky.social already. So far the only "crime" in her background we know is chalking the sidewalk in front of Susan Coliins' house.

oh no

Kicking Graham Platner to the curb is not showing you are the party without the hunger to win, it is showing that you are the party, unlike the alternative, that has moral standards. That can only help the party in the long run.

Schrödinger's Mitch McConnell

The tension and excitement are high tonight. Is Platner's political career dead? Is Mitch actually dead? Will the pop happen?

Man, "consensually careless" is the most spin-heavy way of saying "sexual assault" I can imagine.

Wow, he lost Chuck, and DNC money. If he loses Bernie, he's cooked.

One of the implications from what @hankgreen.bsky.social is so wonderfully describing here is that @annleckie.com might be right and that a superintelligence might find it way more energy efficient to use human bodies as its adaptable environment manipulation tools over robots. youtu.be/a6sYYrLTOjQ

I suggest @andrealaflamme.bsky.social as the replacement. Of course, he won't drop out, the Dem establishment has too much invested in him.

Ultimately, Stephen King may not have been hard enough on Maine

"But it's just like the tattoo - he didn't know what sexual assault was at the time!" - some Platner apologist, I'm sure.

I almost want to see this to see how badly they screw up something as simple as sight lines.

Even though it's a shojo harem anime, I am all in on the new isekai RV camping series just because the premise is so ridiculous, but played absolutely straight-faced. #isekairvcamping #foodieroadtripinanotherworld

Back one whole month ago, on June 6, 2026, at Rhode Island Anime Con, I took this photo of @vixenlorttv.bsky.social as Claire Redfield from the Resident evil game franchise. #claireredfield #clairecosplay #residentevil #riac #residentevilcosplay

Crypto: No dude this is just the start. VR: Pretty soon most business will be done in cyber. NFTs: You won't even believe where this will be in a year. Self-driving cars: In 6 months nobody will be driving themselves. Mars: Colonization within 10 years. Carbon capture: It's basically solved.

I predict we'll see him on a jumbotron at a World Cup match soon.

A cry for help! Turns out I’m going to run out of these beads for my project, and they were from Joann (RIP) Does anyone have these in their stash that they don’t need and would be willing to send along? 😭😭(Second photo is more true colour) Feel free to share! I’m desperate 🤣

Jumping way back to Sat., Sept. 5, 2015, at @dragoncon.org when I took this photo of @the-mermae.bsky.social as a dudebro version of Cullen from Dragon Age: Inquisition. #dragonagecosplay #cullenrutherford #dragoncon #cullencosplay

Sorry to lib out but I guess my thought on the Fourth is that if it wasn’t possible for this country to really be an egalitarian multiracial democracy someday, the most disgusting people alive wouldn’t be trying so hard to foreclose that possibility

A page from an old "What If?" issue of Captain America, in which "Cap" confronts an imposter who preaches intolerance and hate. So relevant today. So powerful.

OK, the new anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia REALLY has everything I want. Set in what seems to my non-historian ass a very accurate 13th-century Persia and Mongolia, it is made by Science Saru so the art and animation are outstanding. This looks to be for me what Orb was for many.

Wow, the new anime Black Torch has everything I want - great art style, cool animation (and not just the fights, there is a wake from unconsciousness transition that is awesome), interesting world building and ... plot. #animeplot #blacktorch

Happy 4th of July. Keep dreaming.

Every word of this is truth and fire. In case my posts today haven't made it clear, I still believe in the dream, and I despise the bigoted scum that have so effectively derailed it -- temporarily. #independenceday

My favorite 4th memory: Taking my son to watch the 2009 Boston fireworks from the outside deck of Microsoft's New England Research and Development office on Memorial Dr. in Cambridge. #independenceday #fireworks #microsoft

Happy 250th America Happy 400th Salem Salem is a reminder that change is possible. No matter how bad current government and laws, people can change things for the better

Happy Independence Day to everyone except the racist, fascist, eugenicist bigots.

On this 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, here's a photo of a cosplayer not on here as Captain America from Avengers: Infinity War, taken on Sun., Nov. 4, 2018, at Rhode Island Comic Con. #independenceday #captainamericacosplay #rhodeislandcomiccon

Today is a good day to (re-)read Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Go on. It isn't that long.

Happy 4th of July, 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and Independence Day!

Why have a private wedding at a facility that can handle tens of thousands of people? She filmed it and is going to release it as a movie and make a gajillion dollars. #taylorswift

From Sat., Aug. 3, 2013, here is @nicolemariejean.bsky.social as Daenerys Targaryen from the series Game of Thrones, at Boston Comic Con. #daenerystargaryen #daeneryscosplay #bostoncomiccon #gameofthrones

Despite the awesome Gil Kane cover, that Daredevil issue was the only one here I didn't buy that month.

Every single lawmaker that’s calling for their constituents to “be responsible with electricity usage” during the extreme heat had better be supporting heavy restrictions on data centers.

From Free Comic Book Day on May 2, 2015, at @granitecon.bsky.social we have a 2fer throwback with @daniellebaloo.bsky.social as ... dunno, and @mrshalapeno.bsky.social as Black Widow. #blackwidowcosplay #freecomicbookday #granitecon #cosplayphotography

Hey, maybe the bad air and loud noises will finally cause the pop we are all waiting for. Positive thoughts for a truly great Independence Day! #gobloodvesselgo

Wonder how much they will cost the people of Colorado when they win their inevitable wrongful termination suits?
