"People don't mind Platner's SS tattoo because he's anti-Israel" sure is making a point, though perhaps not the one you intend

The thing about Platner is that I swore we were all passing around some anecdote a little while back about how you can't allow even one nazi, even a well-spoken one with good vibes, into your bar. I have a very clear memory of this. We all agreed with it and found it trenchant and apt.

Yet more proof that the man knows ball

“Read theory” yeah man my problem is I’ll go and do that and then your Theory will be Bad

Charlotte’s one of the kindest people I know and she’s had a 24-karat run of bad luck lately. If you can spare a little to help her, it’d be much appreciated. gofund.me/d52756f70

Has it ever occurred to the centrist op-ed industrial complex that we shouldn’t actually want to win the rural white working class

I am very tired of the stupid-savvy 'oh you think politicians were honest before Donald Trump' take, like yes there has in fact been a qualitative change in the way modern american politics have been conducted that is largely attributable to him, and is bad.

God, they’ve turned our boy from a 311 loving madman into a depressed beatnik.

I think it makes obvious sense that Tim Cook would not want to publish a series that portrays the people who outed him without his consent in a heroic light, especially considering that the heroic actions here are a.) outing gay people to attract homophobic responses and b.) publishing revenge porn

Delta Green is so cool. In no other game can you stand in the throne room of the Yellow King and pull the pin on a manpack nuke to bury his largest temple under thousands of tons of rubble in an Iranian valley with no name as the Iran-Iraq War rages around you

Nah, I’m sure a child soldier with an AI girlfriend whose only skill is guns would be a respectable left of center individual.

I’m not going to lie, I don’t think we should be having a Mets Gala this year. The team’s playing real poorly and they aren’t even in town for it.

Anyway I think we should ban short-form video platforms because the people who rely on them for their information act perpetually concussed

>blow up the leader >say you’re going to blow up the next leader unless they surrender and get overthrown >everyone says new phone who dis truly, the Persian mind is an enigma

>Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson were all on Russian payroll >Orban loses in Hungary >Rod Dreher immediately leaves Budapest >The Daily Wire fires half their staff was all the right-wing conspiracy posting about USAID just massive fucking projection?

There's an old saying in Schelling—I know it's in Hegel, probably in Schelling—that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as...as...tragedy... the second time as...as...it's funny if it happens again

We lost something valuable when the tom Clancy dad/airport thriller genre degenerated into operator slop.

lol the shooter has a BLUE SKY ACCOUNT, well here’s one excuse that won’t work:

Standard Mets fandom experience

>on the brink of war with Cuba >experimental moon missions are starting to succeed >the mets are world-historically terrible Am I dreaming or is it fucking 1962 again

People like to joke about Woke COINTELPRO here and that's based but the SPLC was about that life for real

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

'90s-era Delta Green's Karotechia plot lines are a level of peak the series has never again reached in any of its newer modules and I really wish they'd bring them back

i don't think you need moral authority to shoot Bukele in the head. you need a gun.

Unless you are a fellow National Socialist there is no reason for you to support sending this spoiled little white trash sack of shit to the Senate

We can send four people on a trip around the moon but we can’t send four Mets on a trip around the basepaths. This says something about society.

“Everything is counterintelligence” endlessly vindicated

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

I see that yet another person failed to learn from Reality Winner's example and compromised something to a journalist who she ought to have known would gleefully release that information with no regard for the safety of his source

UAE: IDIOTS Bahrain: guys I dont feel so good Saudi: bibi you said your intel knew where all the missiles were and you'd blow them up the first weekend Israel: You were supposed to hold the oil price down so he wouldn't TACO Kuwait: is that a plane Oman: I too am in this episode all: FUCK YOU

Being soft on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, abandoning Syria to the IRGC and Russians while refusing to enforce his red line, spurning the Anbar Awakening and leaving Iraq without a new SOFA causing the rise of ISIS, failing to confront China, and pushing sequestration was historically disastrous

"The problem with being a populist yourself is that once you accept populism’s essential premise—that the essence of politics is the struggle between a homogeneous cadre of elites and a homogeneous mass of the people—you become relatively defenseless against other, more poisonous populist factions."

aw dang it

Of all the myths about nuclear doctrine, "the French are uniquely crazy" perhaps needs to die the most Employing battlefield nuclear weapons to reverse conventional losses on the ground and signal resolve for a strategic exchange is a standard feature of most nuclear powers' doctrine

It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.

In any case, Altoona must be destroyed

"China could win if only it did all these things that it has neither any interest in doing nor much ability to actually do, I am very smart" It's a shame Wages of Destruction is so good because otherwise we'd be able to leave Tooze in the obscurity he deserves

I am already not positively disposed towards the idea of gentiles hosting seders, but I think the guy who got a tattoo of the insignia that the people who turned an entire branch of my family into air pollution at Treblinka wore should not do this, especially as some sort of twisted mea culpa.

"J-pilled" means "skeptical of Israeli influence" the same way that "arbeit macht frei" means "a preference for including work requirements in certain types of housing programs."
