Why *else* would they do it?

It's not "mental gymnastics" to conclude that I've never seen this image before. It's, in fact, pretty easy.

Have you seen this tattoo?

Rob McColley 🇺🇦 @mccolley.bsky.social · 12h

I even know how Betsy DeVos is connected to it.

Oh, I guess you're right. Let's just reelect Susan Collins for the sake of our moral purity.

You're pretty judgemental.

How do you feel about bombing small boats off the coast of Venezuela? They probably did it, too, right?

Rob McColley 🇺🇦 @mccolley.bsky.social · 12h

I do that a lot. It's usually because I searched for something.

But also the algorithm throws things at me from time to time.

For example, I didn't know who Gareth Powell was, but bsky fed me Gareth Powell and then, once I'd liked it, kept feeding.

I suspect it's because I follow Terry Pratchett.

No, he doesn't come out and say it in this story. It's exactly the opposite.

Rob McColley 🇺🇦 @mccolley.bsky.social · 12h

If you're that smart, I'd expect you to know the difference between "he says" and "somebody else says."

Rob McColley 🇺🇦 @mccolley.bsky.social · 12h

Link me the story where he comes out and says as much.

Rob McColley 🇺🇦 @mccolley.bsky.social · 13h

Well, there's the National Socialist German Workers Party, of course ... but I digress.

The question is whether we ban him for a tattoo that resembles something disliked by others. GP says he didn't know, he just liked the look.

I've NEVER seen that symbol, despite watching countless Nazi docs.

Jonathan Greenblatt has done a great job making ADL seem hateful & awful.

Whoever hired him to ruin ADL, and bring scorn on Jews generally, is one cunning bastard.

Totally.

Bill Cosby and Robert Culpa step off a gondola somewhere in Venice, dressed in light colored slap. Culp is wearing a deep red cardigan over a mustard turtleneck. Cosby is wearing a dark green v-neck sweater over a white turtleneck. From the television show I Spy.

Are you familiar with Adam Kinzinger?

Rob McColley 🇺🇦 @mccolley.bsky.social · 19h

It doesn't answer her question, though.

We all make misterks.

Thank goodness the hashtag MTG won't be confused with any other topics that might be discussed in social media.

You should still go to the vintage store. Do you have enough shiny satin shirts?

Rob McColley 🇺🇦 @mccolley.bsky.social · 1d

There's a great vintage clothing store in Vieux Montréal.

How do you feel about pinstripes?

Common law means it's not part of the statute.

If there's a statute, it takes precedent over common law.

In other words, Abbott is fucked.

Frankly it's a blessing and a curse.

You're just like everybody else, except for brief moments of incendiary loss of control, possession by a force which you can only hope won't get you in trouble, but won't allow you to choose.

Or in modern terms, you're never hungry because Ozempic.

Rob McColley 🇺🇦 @mccolley.bsky.social · 1d

Jawohl.

Having now researched the Charlottesville airport, I find that you have 3 airlines to play against each other.

My college town spoke has 1. No fare competition. So I fly from Chicago.

Amtrak is not very reliable, but the trains I take are never more than half an hour late.

Shh, I don't want anything to discourage Elon from fulfilling his dream of moving to Mars.
