I don’t know why everyone is freaking out about this, the rest of you won’t shut the fuck up about your Paradox mods either

I still say this is the most accurate description of Platner www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...

Someone liked this and it reminded me that Coco passed away last month. We became friends with her family after they came to retrieve her. RIP Coco, you sly fox, you tricked me into feeding you a second dinner that night when you went on walkabout.

The funny part is 6-year-olds are universally smarter than this, JD's kid just knows he needs validation to live because she is years more emotionally mature than he is

Many of you are focused on the Monster, not enough on the fact that this kid has access to his parents beautiful black granite countertop kitchen and chooses to profane it in this way

SCRAM, PLATNER

Ziggy has to have his Lamb Chop when we relax.

idk what needs to be done but something needs to be done because a society where a nobody like Asha Sharma with exactly zero career achievements worth a fuck who was like 8 years old when Christiane Meister started at Bethesda can fire the person who designed the Argonians and Khajit is unacceptable

some people just say shit like "bluesky only opposed platner because of israel" and go on with their day

fantasy GOP: salt of the earth blue collar guys who really connect to regular non-coastal-elite folks actual GOP politicians in R+73 seats: Harvard law degree, has worn a suit and tie every day of his adult life, half-heartedly affects an accent that sounds like a drag queen doing Foghorn Leghorn

Platner clearly equates the movement with himself, and that is so dangerous in candidates. Someone who refuses to be accountable for anything and to anyone would have made a terrible officeholder.

😜

The Oaf Council has much to answer for

If I were Gov. Beshear, I’d make a statement tomorrow morning announcing that given the evident incapacity of Senator McConnell to fulfill his duties to the people of Kentucky, a special election to fill his seat will be held on 28 July unless the Senator presents himself in person to contest it.

platner going "I won but (((they))) are taking it away from me" is a fantastically demented exit line, this mfer is 💯 going on the Cancel Culture circuit to rebrand as a conservative

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

My favorite Carter fact is that he was the only president who had ever personally supervised a nuclear accident cleanup (in Canada, ironically)

Now that Platner is out I can say the one nice thing about him I was holding back because I didn't want to show any support at all: I like his beard

Maine officials search the rocky beach for a new senate candidate. They find an unconscious man clad in tattered rags washed upon the shore. The sea provides for Maine, it always does

A real man-president would use his Qatari sex plane and to hell with those hater nerds in the Secret Service

And people say he has no bedrock principles!

How TF is Platner down by 5 but Troy Jackson is up by 5

I think there are certain accounts cynically deploying accusations of racism simply on the basis that a white candidate defeated a Black candidate in a primary, and this is obvious to anyone who hasn't decided to turn their brains off. This is also a good example of the kind of thing you'd only 1/

I remember when my whole ship did this and we officially recognized the hottest officer and hottest enlisted

Because Ken Paxton trusts Texas voters

The thing I'm maddest about re:Platner are all the people who never served in the military who told me that it was perfectly normal for enlisted military people to get Nazi tattoos. NO IT FUCKING ISN'T.

Okay, "AC is hyper-exclusionary for people from cultures who don't like the cold" is a new one lmao

Asking people to understand that American dominance in women's soccer is a byproduct of Title IX, which helped foster high-level women's sports in this coontry, in stark contrast to most of the reat of the world. It's a systemic, structural thing we should be proud of.

Ceasefire buddies

this is fuckin wild. here's the local story about it that The Daily Beast is ripping off www.wboy.com/news/marion/...

This is ridiculous. The party has *14 days* after the deadline for Platner to drop. That's going to mean, as law vests it, "party insiders" -- some subset of ME Dem party officials. You don't have time to run a full-blown primary or caucus. The demand here is vague to obfuscate how it's impossible.

Casting aspersions on the sort of people who hold state/local organizing roles and committee seats as implicitly corrupt elite "party insiders" is trash slopulism. They didn't ask to be put in this position, it's no power grab. They have a job to do and have been duly democratically chosen to do it.

Having the Platonic ideal of a U-Haul interaction today, waiting for going on 40 minutes in a line of exactly two customers while a single employee does fifty pages of paperwork and two phones ring unanswered

Russia has killed over 650 Ukrainian athletes. 🧵 1/12 ⬇️

If this doesn't smell like diesel exhaust and salt spray I'm going to be very disappointed

My formal position is that If you are a dorky and boringly faithful wife guy who loves your city or county or state and can get embarrassingly enthusiastic about it you should absolutely run for everything and I will ride for you

Steve King once said a particularly vile thing about how you can't restore your civilization with someone else's babies. that's exactly backwards. you can *only* preserve your civilization through someone else's babies. you don't have enough babies.

there's a lot here to be angry about but in theory if you care about things like "Western Civilization" it seems to me that you should probably be in favor of talented artists disseminating the core texts of the Western canon in a way that makes them accessible to the entire world.

Lupita Nyong’o's beauty sparks social media war about whether her beauty would have sparked actual war

"They also say there should be no discovery." Of course, DOJ doesn't want discovery, it will further expose their egregious conduct.

Lol. "I'm not clairvoyant." Yes, who could have predicted that the political newcomer with the prominent Nazi tattoo and a history of alcohol and relationship issues would prove problematic!

I love this dog but I've never cared for one like him where you literally have to manage his sleep time like a toddler. We forgot to make him take a nap this afternoon and he went insane. He's now sleeping so hard he ignored a loud pug battle right in front of his crate.

Great journalism like how to rape children and get away with it

Every day, we stray further from God's light

Now I’m imagining a sitcom, because these guys look like the crew of The Love U-Boat…

As part of my working my way through the Marvel TV show back catalog I'm back on Legion now which I quit after the first season originally. This show is both amazing and incredibly irritating.

Since folks are bringing up their "Klip is an asshole" story, here's mine. Four years ago he co-authored an Intercept story that was just... wrong. On almost every level. And helped kick off the MAGA obsession that the Biden admin colluded with social media to "censor conservatives." I called it out
