I think modern music would be so much better if we resurrected the 12” version.

If there is a "legally required" review process that was not performed, who has standing to sue here?

Ok. At this point, I’m suspecting he’s just a dumbass and shouldn’t be anywhere near the levers of power.

Oh for fuck's fucking sake he got it covered with a Norse Ragnarok tattoo of Fenrisulfr devouring the world

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner tells AP he got a new tattoo to cover one seen as a Nazi symbol.

You help one charismatic guy get elected, and then you think you are god.

His advisors have most likely been telling him that historically when the majority party in the House is the same as the President, that party loses seats.

The DSA is too. I think it’s better to view everyone’s shit takes on this in the context that it’s a proxy fight between the establishment and the left.

I expect this from Ryan. I didn’t expect it from Emma Vigeland.

With leftists like these…

Well, if you believe the Jewish Insider piece, he absolutely knew it was a totenkopf.

We are living through the worst fascist era of this country, and people thought a Nazi tattoo would slide in a Democratic primary. What absolute hubris.

He needs to disappear from public life. This whole saga is sucking up too much oxygen for my liking.

Mfer probably isn’t even with it most days.

Very hwhite of them.

It’s quite telling she’s saying that shit at the Nazi bar instead of here.

it’s not a nazi tattoo, but if it is, he didn’t know it, and if he did know, he didn’t mean it, and if he meant it, he’s grown since then

no, fuck you

He’s just too proud to ever admit he made a mistake.

It’s the right thing to do.

Since it’s Long Island week on Bluesky I’m here to inform you that the group of guys in Giants gear was indeed visiting Denver from Long Island, New York.

The kid who stole his glasses has now been charged with assault.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

I mean, fuck the East Wing. It’s not like Melania cares. Amirite?

That same year, UAW decided to endorse the only AIPAC-backed candidate on the race— and this was right after the national org had been pushing for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Outside of hearing their talking points regurgitated, policy-alignment is a not a top consideration for many of these orgs.

Craig Hayes @craighayes.me · 21h

One of the wildest endorsement processes I’ve witnessed was when an an entire chapter of the Sierra Club membership voted to support the candidate I was working for, but because he wasn’t a prolific fundraiser, leadership gave the endorsement to another candidate.

Craig Hayes @craighayes.me · 21h

It’s almost always vibes based. Orgs don’t like to endorse people who have no chance, so it becomes more like sports team betting.

The biggest deciding factor outside of vibes is fundraising numbers.
