The good news for Platner is that he has a *very* promising future as a right-wing culture war podcaster, considering he's being primarily criticized by queer people on Bluesky. I can see the book about how the left loves to cancel white men already.

If we can't find a single better candidate in the entire state of Maine than a former mercenary with a Nazi tattoo, then we may as well pack it in now. The whole point of a primary is to find the best person, and by all indications Platner is very much not it.

absolutely astounding that elon went "i am going to buy twitter and move it hard to the right so that it will influence online discourse and therefore society," and then very straightforwardly did that, and these people just walked right into the trap

Well, that was roughly the time of the crusades, which is the first thing to come to mind. Byzantine court politics were in full swing, and Western Europe was in a period of decentralization following the decline of the Carolingian dynasty. It was peak knights and lords, think Game of Thrones.

My primary criteria for supporting political candidates are: not a nazi, a sex offender, a spineless fascism-enabler, or actively supporting a genocide. Why the FUCK is it so hard to find people who pass these, it seems like a pretty goddamn low bar to me!

I interpreted it as "despite the above, I still think the tattoo is disqualifying". I just thought that the lack of a cover-up was more damning than the fact that he got it in the first place.

Well right but he had decades to get a cover-up tattoo. He actively chose to keep it inked into his chest, in 2025, while running for the Senate as a leftist. That should be disqualifying imo.

Every user on Bluesky is in a superposition of centrist shitlib and terminally online leftist, until the possibilities collapse upon someone who's inexplicably angry at random internet strangers decides to insult you.

Holy shit the waffles thing happened to me

"I think it's amusing that rich assholes have a pathological need to screw over others, despite seeing no benefit"

"I can't believe you're laughing at people not getting paid, you liberal fence-sitter"

If you take money from Donald Trump to illegally tear down a portion of the White House and he stiffs you, I'm not going to feel particularly bad. But it does suck for regular people just doing the ceiling of Maralago or something equally innocuous.

There's something almost existentially funny about rich people stiffing contractors. Like, they don't need the money. Trump isn't missing dinner if he pays his sheetrock guy. They're just fucking people over for the love of the game.

It is genuinely fascinating to watch cis liberals speedrun a specific trans Twitter discourse from a couple years ago

centrist: Where do we go from here? We have to find common ground. We can't just call the other group "Nazis." At the end of the day, we're all just rich white men with podcasts.

It's kind of incredible to watch Trump fall for the exact same trick over and over. At this point I think that Putin can keep him going for the entire 4 years, drip-feeding him meaningless promises he'll immediately go back on.

Experts are calling constant threats to invade your neighbors a "bold strategy" to lobby for a Nobel Peace Prize. We'll see how it pays out for the geriatric American.

I'm hoping they face some stiff competition in the playoffs. Pats, (healthy) Chargers, Colts, Bills. I just can't deal with another post-season of nonstop Chiefs fellatio.

Not surprising, sadly. It very may well get passed straight to Russia, and even if it doesn't, our opsec is atrocious.
