"if trump ran as a democrat i would support him against jd vance" ass bullshit, this is a big part of why the fascists had such an easy time of it

An all time character on an all time show. That whole "TV written like a radio show, can't rely on sight gags" era with Cheers etc had such great shit firing on all cylinders.

Even if you fully intend to vote for whoever the Democratic nominee ends up being, there’s a huge difference between doing that quietly in November 2028 and loudly announcing it years in advance with zero conditions attached.
What's the purpose of saying that there's no position so extreme that someone could lose your vote? Especially this far out? You're effectively giving possible candidates the all clear to move as far right as they'd like. This seems foolish.

I hadn't heard this shit until now and finding out Platner was all in on "black people don't tip" makes way too much sense. And it's a huge red flag for anyone who works in hospitality because it's not true. Everyone who's worked behind the stick knows who undertips and it's not the black community

(“The white guys are back in charge” is the message just to speak it plainly.)
The Nazi tattoo, like Rahm’s candidacy, and Newsom’s podcast, are all different variations of the same message.

Yeah, the Nazi tattoo is part of the appeal for Platner for a lot of people. His candidacy is supposed to signal the left no longer concerns itself with “woke” issues like public displays of bigotry.
Just gonna say there are plenty of insurgent, anti-establishment candidates WITHOUT Nazi tattoos that the New Republic could have featured instead of Platner.

You could ABSOLUTELY make the point that Ds are mad at the centrist leaders of the party WITHOUT helping rehabilitate this particular guy.

The puzzled reader may ask: how could a learned liberal professor have forgotten these elementary axioms familiar to anybody who has read any exposition of the views of socialism?…

the personal qualities of present-day professors are such that we may find among them even exceptionally stupid people

The kids fell in love with the shipbuilding system from Traveller so I decided to bind them a copy of the 2022 version of High Guard. I think it’s my best #TTRPG #bookbinding to date.

Decided to sew the cover to reduce strain on the end papers a bit and make it easier to glue them on straight.

in 2013, Beijing became the most polluted capital in the world, 10 years later, serious smog days have been cut to single digit days.

meanwhile, in India, the government is still in 2025 spraying water near air sampling sites to try to hide how bad it is
