I know this isn’t quite how campaigns work but people are more than welcome to support Platner; I just don’t need them to try to justify why that’s ok or convince me to do the same

I’m not 100% certain he’s an antisemite but I’m 100% certain I’m at least uncomfortable and distrustful of a guy who had a nazi tattoo running for public office

Let’s review.

1. DC foreign policy world, projecting insecurities outward, invents the β€œAxis of Chaos [or whatever]” comprised of the official enemies. They must be strangled because they aim to destroy the rules-based international order;

2. Countries in the nonexistent Axis…

A St. Paul police officer fabricated a massive sex trafficking case and had multiple people locked up under false charges. The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed a ruling that she can't be sued by her victims. She appears to still be employed by the St. Paul PD. ij.org/press-releas...

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

One of those experiences that really crystallized how fucked up it to be a black or brown young person in Lancaster at tha time.

Wish he didn’t get mugged tho, and he was def upset over another part that’s too embarrassing for me to mention.

Also wish he wasn’t as unwell as he seems to be now

Now to make it entirely about ME, I remember this dude got mugged outside our house and refused to stop calling his mugger the n-word. He got pissed at me and none of my friends (all white :) ) backed me up. Had to go off to my room. 2009/2010 baby!!!

Guy I know from college days is on $1 million bail for tackling an officer, and trying to grab his gun, which resulted in a round getting shot off

β€œMany of their commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fundamentalist Christian end of the world eschatology.”

Most major U.S. news outlets wouldn't even know how to cover World War 3. They would deny it was even happening. The chucklefucks who survived the purges are simply not prepared to record seismic ruptures in history. They don't think such things happen anymore

"That Box We Sit On"

A metal box sits embedded in a field. It’s the everyday hangout spot for two kids after school, but why? One of them lets his imagination run. The other mostly jokes about it.

I’m thinking, for real, like so for real what he’d have to do earn my trust and damn. Idk man. Maybe at best I accept what good shit he does (assuming he wins and does good shit lol) but I keep watching with a side eye

getting competitive about being the smartest medical resident in front of a patient is insane. doing a betting pool is crazy. making medical staff responsible for patient & family's coping needs is wild

that said i didn't work in a big city hospital, and our chaplains were more integrated than most

Joe Dante and Hideo Kojima are close seconds but no director was more right about the future of war than Barry Levinson with the 1992 box office flop Toys.
