@davidfrum Maybe you should re-examine your reflexive reactionary impulses here, David.
We need to stop somewhere between tearing down monuments to secession and cancelling Abraham Lincoln, but some of those monuments need to be toppled.
@Quizzit@dungeoncraft Their current policy is correct (spin off WotC and/or digital from toy-making Hasbro), but did they come to it from clear reasoning or endemic short-termism?
@_raypeterson@briangaither@RadioFreeTom If Russia didn’t have nukes, they would lose to Ukraine the minute Poland and Finland decided to directly re-litigate their historical grievances with Russia.
@PATRICKHENRY97@ElieNYC Your real issue with black people and elementary schools is that they don’t want to send their kids to ones named after Civil War generals anymore.
@ErikLoomis Biden not putting his name on the damn Covid checks after Trump *did* is emblematic of Democrats ignoring vibes.

@charlescwcooke Defending the filibuster is absurd. Republicans will discard it the instant it gets in their way, probably with tailored “exemptions” that allow them to cater to their billionaire donors while maintaining the kayfabe for culture war BS they don’t particularly care about.

If your numeric scale needs more notches, you re-scale it, you don’t add six notches between 18 and 19 without changing the scale!

@DyingStylishly@MoseyDm The great part of the OSR is that when you yell “burn the heretic!” everyone looks in a different direction but they all grab their matches.
