Since I seem to keep doing these, making a master thread to keep as my Pinned post with all my "these are my Commander decks" threads I have done... mostly so I can keep track of them, especially as I am considering new builds with some recent Commanders from Aetherdrift.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

We can make this real if we try hard enough.

De Blasio: ‘Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Mayor That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?’

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

I concur that even if there was an innocent answer, the mishandling is disqualifying in and of itself.

I was a day-one donor and had a recurring monthly contribution and cancelled it yesterday for the reason given being "that tattoo =<" when it let me type in a reason.

screaming into the void, I think.

I didn't want to get into too much detail, like how this is approximately the seventh best time, I just wanted to give partial credit where (very small) partial credit is due.

A reminder that editors, not Ezra himself, gets to pick these headlines. Downloading the same episode through a podcast app where the editors didn't get to write a headline, the episode is titled "The Rural Power Behind Trump's Assault On Blue Cities."

I have a friend in Maine, her husband's nice, and most importantly: he doesn't have any Nazi tattoos!

The funny thing about trying to use your reputation to shield someone else's is that when it doesn't work, you've shredded your reputation for nothing.

They're now the nazi tattoo podcast. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

The correct answer at that time was to plan for this disclosure, then, including a statement about how it is being removed from his body / altered to no longer carry that meaning.

Anything else is a disqualification level misplay showing poor judgment and political instincts.

The moral of the story today is the same as it has always been: when someone tells you they are a World War II enthusiast, you have to ask an immediate follow-up question, "which side was the bad guys?"

Jewish Insider just sent out an email with an article with more Platner info. And yeah, this guy is DONE done.

But according to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a Totenkopf, the “death’s head” symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II.

“He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. “He said it in a cutesy little way.”
