Hitler was bad.

An essay that, you know, I didn’t think I’d need to write.
Perry: The pro-Hitler problem with the American right
"We need to get back to the basics: Hitler was bad. The people who suggest otherwise are also bad," David M. Perry writes.

Voyager scene. Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct adjunct of Unimatrix-01, is seen up close absolutely devouring a big ol' turkey leg like some kind of vicious animal. It's one of those tin foil wrapped Renaissance festival turkey legs, absolute unit. Closed caption reads: (ravenous growling)

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're on ship and in a beautifully carpeted and panelled corridor. William T. Riker, usually in his red uniform, is shown here in his pajamas wandering the hall. He looks bedraggled and schluffy and slightly deranged. Must be Thanksgiving morning. Closed caption reads, "what to eat, what to say, what to think, what to eat."

Oh good the scolds have surfaced (the issue isn't that hand dryers are worse than paper towels - they are - it's that the WaPo ed board found it necessary to opine on this extremely DGAF issue while everything is on fire, and if you don't get that maybe keep it to yourself), welcome to my block list

This is so incredible. You have to see the photos. These workers held the line for THREE YEARS www.publicsource.org/post-gazette...
PITTSBURGH'S Public Source Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh journalists return to their jobs at the Post-Gazette after three years on strike After a court ruling in their favor, long-striking journalists declared victory and returned to a pivotal Southwestern Pennsylvania newsroom. They return as union organizing continues throughout the region. Stephanie Strasburg November 24, 2025 Natalie Duleba, local secretary of the guild, hugs Jon Schleuss, president of the NewsGuild Communications of America, as she hands him the mic. "The first day of this strike, our folks went over across the street and they sat down at a table, and they started talking about that they were going to take care of each other," said Schleuss, acknowledging the guild could not have known how long the path back to work would be.
