if you want a taste of the moral character of the Old South, Hammond was elected senator *after* it was revealed that he had raped four of his nieces as children.

I do kinda buy the claim that they Croatia was so fash circa 2005 that a random tattoo parlor would have Nazi symbols on the wall but like, if that was all there was to it the story would end with him getting it covered up by a less awful tat once he sobered up

Really? I find it the other way. My metal models all have issues with chipping after only five years, while my plastic ones don’t. genuinely curious what you’re doing that’s different from me

"I abducted a child from Mariupol and brought him into my family."

Russia's Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, has admitted guilt in a war crime - the abduction of Ukrainian children - for which the Hague court issued a warrant.

The hardest thing about being good isn’t untangling complex moral dilemmas, but holding to simple principles consistently and unyieldingly, despite the world constantly insisting you would be savvy to abandon them

yes but after the war it was abolished due to the Junker complicity, the hope was to destroy the very idea of the Prussian aristocracy

Say what you want about Janet Mills but I'm confident that she doesn't have any Nazi tattoos without even having to check.

Yeah like I can believe “I was blackout drunk in a country that is apparently full of fascists and got a tattoo I didnt understand at the time,” but what I can’t believe is that he didn’t get the thing removed or covered up after he sobered up

"It's actually Prussian" is the same as "it's actually an Eastern peace symbol" in that every person who says that is totally giving the game away

Not to "ackshulky" you but it has a far older history than that. It goes back to the Prussian and other German militaries. (The Hessians wore such a motif during the Revolutionary War). The Nazi's in Germany didn't come up with it but that association stuck kind of like the Swastika itself.

I had an idea on Tuesday for how to do the Perfect Space Marine RPG, so I wrote the Perfect Space Marine RPG.

It's both a shitpost and a dead serious game. And it's, uh... 34,000 words long?

Anyway enjoy!!!

There's something remarkable about how many different ways Trump is establishing that his second term is a total, blatant discontinuity in legitimate government in the US.

We will get our Republic back, but this has been pure legitimacy vacuum from Day 1, and it'll get worse before it gets better.

I love to kitbash and as a result metal is my enemy. I work with it when I have to, but I don’t like to. Sawing through metal is so much harder than plastic or resin.
