We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

Top right corner. Can't help but wonder if The Simpsons paid subtle tribute to Dan McQuade in tonight's set-in-Philadelphia 800th episode.

Learning that Platner covered his Nazi tattoo with some “norse-celtic” bullshit is not convincing me that he was ever getting any tattoos “accidentally”

Can you imagine writing or editing this sentence with a straight face: "If one can get a Nazi tattoo innocently, then Platner almost certainly did."
It would be bad even if **there wasn't reporting indicating this just isn't true** - which there is.

It scared one guy, the screenwriter of DEADPOOL, and I've seen like a dozen separate articles that all state that this one guy now represents all of Hollywood.

Everyone’s talking about Swarovski right now so let’s take a second and dive into the fact that they were NAZI Nazis. Like full-on Seig Heil, prosecuted after the war level Nazis and the modern company has done everything they can to hide all their archives and prevent anyone accessing them.
![Members of the Swarovski family were early, active and enthusiastic champions of Nazism, and at least six of its members maintained membership in the illegal party prior to Austria's annexation to Nazi Germany on 12 March 1938.!23] Three weeks earlier, 500 marchers in the Tyrolean town of Wattens held a torchlight procession that ended with chants of "Sieg Heil" and "Heil Hitler". The majority of the participants, police determined, were Swarovski plant employees, among them Swarovski family heirs Alfred, Wilhelm and Friedrich. 124]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nvfznp5ls3wcf6aktlfkfkp3/bafkreicscf6waklhijry6fblsvr4psk7yku2jauu5hqsn4n765i4gkl2pe@jpeg)
![In its report to the state police on 14 February 1947, the Innsbruck district administrator called company head Alfred Swarovski "an enthusiastic member of the NSDAP." [25] Alfred Swarovski praised Hitler at business gatherings and took actions as a regional business leader to ensure that "Tyrolean industry could be integrated as smoothly as possible into the enormous gears of the economy of Greater Germany and into the National Socialist economic order." He sent
"grateful loyalty greetings" to Adolf Hitler on his 49th birthday and arranged a donation of 100,000 shillings for Hitler to establish a holiday home in Tyrol.!26]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nvfznp5ls3wcf6aktlfkfkp3/bafkreifou66ng5baxhiicmm6d3zntcqosn7pqwzafclwf2qs7xtq7wvqku@jpeg)
![In 1994, historian Horst Schreiber wrote about Swarovski's past but was not granted access to company archives. (27]
The contemporary Swarovski company commissioned historian Dieter Stiefel as "a step towards dealing with our history in a serious and very pro-active manner," board spokesman Markus Langes-Swarovski said in
2018; however, the study was not published because, Langes-Swarovski said, "Swarovski is a company that generally tries to keep the owners' personal stories largely out of the public eye because it does nothing for the business."

One thing about the line that Platner didn't know the meaning of his Nazi tattoo is that it presupposes he either has never in his life seen a movie set during WWII, or that he's the dumbest man alive
incredible how white men are given the benefit of the doubt when anything coming from marginalized groups are treated with utmost suspicion and distorted beyond recognition
