A - I love that they count "he covered up the tattoo after it got him in trouble" as a point in his favor.
B - Multiple people have said Platner knew what the tattoo was and bragged about it. The article writer is lying to benefit Platner, presumably to help Susan Collins secure a 7th term

Piggybacking on Bluesky's resident Discworld Quoter for this banger of the Trump era (from Making Money):
This got a cheer. Moist wasn't surprised. Tell someone you were going to rob them and all that happened was that you got as a reputation as a truthful man.

“Every real copper knew you didn’t go around looking for Clues so that you could find out Who Done It. No, you started out with a pretty good idea of Who Done It. That way, you knew what Clues to look for.”

Why is the Catch-22 miniseries more focused on the logistics of getting vintage B-25s to Italy than capturing the tone of the book? I know a Catch-22 miniseries is dad-coded, but not THAT kind of dad-coded

Let's be extremely clear about the type of website monodoweiss is, however much people want to say "No, they have A Jew, so they're not antisemitic". If you use it as a source, you're antisemitic trash.

This is exactly how Obamacare passed, for the record. Multiple House members voted for it knowing it would wipe them out in the midterms, and parts of it have proven quite resilient.
But this requires sacrifice from Congress out of a sense of public service. Oops.

The solution here, again, is to pass a major reform bill that includes a path to citizenship for the undocumented. There may well be a backlash against it. But you do it and hope that the political and economic costs of a reversal are too great for its opponents. That's how major legislation works.

The deck is stacked in about 10 different ways to give extra power and money to rural areas, but it's never enough. Right wing propaganda continues to tell them they are out upon victims powerless against the mighty cities.
Stage 5 pundit-brain is watching an innocent woman being killed by agents of the state and going, "hmm this says a lot about the urban-rural divide in America."

Entire thread is pretty much correct in that historically, people have chosen to have kids when the opportunity cost for having them was low and Western fertility will increase only if it finds a way to replicate that while continuing to treat women as people
Nobody really wants to hear this but the only even remotely palatable solutions to the "birthrate crisis" involve penciling in substantial technological change: artificial wombs, at least somewhat automated childcare, etc

Man, remember when it was a big scandal that Barack Obama associated with a preacher that said "God damn America"?
If and when It Happens, this moronic gutter trash will have the ear of POTUS.

If ilhan Omar had a "favorite philosopher" who said something like this, the media would literally hound her into resigning. But they don't even report on the fact that the sitting vice president loves this guy, a disgusting anti-semite
Quick question: what the FUCK?!?

Amazing how interviewing a subject that knows what they're talking about actually provides useful information. not just bloodsport of someone flailing around (from a journalist actually doing something scary like asking a follow-up question)
