Regular guy talking about basketball, or Elon Musk on some drug that only has a serial number sending voicemail to the absolutely horrified head of development at SpaceX.

Do we think his dick still works? I don't think his dick still works.

We had that guy! They had a whole war to stop having that particular George be in charge!

Kevin Cucumber there can't be real tho.

He released the video/images himself! Why did he not, instead, spend that time having it covered/altered so we'd believe him when he said he didn't know what it was and once he found out didn't like it??

I bet there is a good tattoo artist that can put some roses around that thing and a Grateful Dead lyric underneath and he can try running again next time and hope we forget.

My response is that he had 15 years to realize it was a Nazi thing and have a tattoo artist change it into literally a Grateful Dead thing, which would have been cool.

Sorry, this is impossible, as he can no longer get it up without enough medication to kill said horse.

I can understand not knowing that Hannibal Lecter is a made up character, those books and movies are sort of written like true crime. But now racism grandpa doesn't realize Star Wars is a story???

Recommended to me by my friend that got extremely rich doing some kind of early algorithmic trading and then I think became a venture capitalist? So maybe I should have paid more attention.

I liked HPMOR back around that time, had no connection or idea about the rest of it, and remember mostly that it ended with a whimper (am I remembering correctly that Harry murders Voldemort with molecular wire and they never interrogate the scientific causes of magic being real?)

Sounds like you're...all mixed up.

Obviously gonna grandfather in the Metlife field, which has a long and proud tradition of being made of a special kind of grass that they found at a Superfund site in the 70s and doesn't need water or sun, just the occasional ligament or tendon fed to it.

Hamiltwan @hamiltwan.bsky.social · 9h

Almost certainly both!

If his story about not realizing it is a Nazi symbol when he got it is true, he absolutely should have had it touched up to be a heavy metal band logo (or a Grateful Dead one).

For me that's actually the down side. If BG tears the tricep again and has that disability for life, I'll be pretty sad about it. But still love him as an all time Eagle, obviously.

McNabb ruined his legacy by being an idiot and getting DUIs, not playing for other teams. Dawkins's legacy is fully intact. It's fine.

After a media furor, it's revealed it is temporary.

Mike Johnson: "If people were so upset about pedophiles then why haven't they been demanding to see what is on my, House Speaker Mike Johnson's, secret burner laptop that is just full of the most disgusting illegal porn you can imagine?!?"

Mike Johnson: "Suddenly now, they've somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage."

I did once date a 16 year old, but since I was also 16 at the time, I hardly think that counts as a libertarian phase.

And if he didn't know when he got it, sometime in the intervening decades he could have gotten it altered into like, a Grateful Dead skull or whatever.

Hamiltwan @hamiltwan.bsky.social · 16h

Can you imagine him trying to explain it to politico? "Well, it's from a webcomic, sort of a less successful Penny Arcade, which, ok, let me back up..."

Hamiltwan @hamiltwan.bsky.social · 16h

I had a communism, specifically the early USSR, phase when I was in 9th grade or so. But I got over it, and also they were on the good side of WWII.
(I don't have a tattoo tho, and if I did I would probably have had it altered in the meantime)

My house is on a steep hill, the only requirement I have for anyone who makes it up and wants candy is that they have some kind of costume. And yes, Amazon delivery guy t-shirt on October 21st counts. Thanks for the pillowcases bro, you want a butterfinger?

Alternatively, make it into the "loss" comic symbol and make the most internet poisoned people go even further insane.
