What Stuart Stevens says is perfectly obvious, and something you will not see reflected in any of the major media coverage.
Some people say that we should punish the monkeys for their sins, but I say let gibbons be gibbons.
I mean, they obviously didn't before. The question is whether they are capable of a substantive* act of defiance at this point.

*unlike e.g. the tariff votes that aren't going anywhere
I don't think the author is representative, though they undoubtedly would like to create that impression.
"Beyond a reasonable doubt" would be relevant if people were trying to send Platner to prison. But they're trying to send him to Congress, and "there is 1% chance he is a Nazi" more than meets threshold not to do that, even if there weren't other derogatory factors.
The empire blows up a planet full of civilians in the very first film, so I don't think so.
That may be true for the population as a whole, but I am fairly confident it is not true of my fellow Jews, which makes me rather skeptical of the opinion in the image.
Not only is mayonnaise a 100% reliable emetic for me, I have a cousin -- by marriage -- with the same issue. I promise you, when I say the smell of mayonnaise will drive me from a room, I am being neither dishonest nor hyperbolic, and I'm not alone.
You sickos are actually going to make me mute the word, aren't you.
I'm not actually sure what an example of a cream-based condiment is (I dislike sour cream, if that is what is meant here), but I do dislike most cold sauces.
Mayonnaise is one of the most disgusting ostensibly edible substances known to man. The smell is enough to drive me from a room; ingesting anything using it is a 100% reliable emetic.

Some sort of mass delusion is rampaging across my feed.

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Possibly because I have never had (or desired) any involvement with agriculture, the primary connotation of "pest" to me is "nuisance," not "threat", and it is always puzzling to me how we ended up with the phrase "sex pest" to describe people whose offenses are often fairly serious.
I wish there was a Farscape episode that was just Isaac Chotiner working his way through Moya's crew and their questionable decisions.
Odds that either of those Twitter chuds are married? 10%?
It is infuriating that so many people in positions of prominence don't think that anyone has any duty to *shape* public opinion rather than just react to it.
Anybody?
I need some new author recommendations. For reference, some authors I have greatly enjoyed

Nick Harkaway
China Mieville
Ian Tregillis
Lev Grossman
Terry Pratchett
Ian M. Banks
Katherine Addison

And for anti-recommendation, I hated This Is How You Lose The Time War and gave up 1/3 the way thru.
Don't like the hemming and hawing, but they cut this quote off right before he starts discussing comprehensive immigration reform.
Apparently need to re-up this.
I thought popularism had a point when it was about *messaging*, -- e.g. if a policy both makes 99% of the population better off and reduces racial disparities, your message should be almost entirely focused on the former, and there genuinely was a problem with "wokeness" not understanding this. 1/2
I don't think his children love him any more than he loves them.
Fourth because he can't assume any suit would be empty enough that they wouldn't immediately sideline him.
