Powerful piece, highly recommend reading. Democrats need people like Platner if they are going to come to terms with the true nature of our country, with what we have done to people at home and abroad, and pull together the coalition needed to heal and reshape it.
“A tiny minority of Americans (6%) ever serve in the military. Of these, only 40% of veterans have ever deployed to a combat zone. And of those deployed, only about 10% participated in actual ground combat. I am one of those, and so is Platner. His pathology: a combination of traumatic stress, substance abuse, impulsive decision-making in the past, and deep anger at the moral injury he sustained wearing the cloth of this nation, is something this country ought to consider when it sends its young men and women to war. The question before Maine is not whether Graham Platner is perfect. The question is whether the United States Senate, the state of Maine, and the country as a whole would benefit from having his voice in the room when decisions are made. The answer is yes…”
“A democracy that insists on perfection will eventually find itself represented only by people skilled at hiding their flaws.”
Tyrese Maxey never had a double-digit rebounding game in his playoff career before this series. He had 10 in Game 5 and 11 in Game 7. Literally said he was just tired of watching his team get crushed on the glass and grabbed the rebounds himself. That's superstar leadership.
Bueno… regalamos 3 años de Xbox Game Pass Ultimate entre los que dejen su like y RT en este post en las próximas 24 horas?
Oficialmente la nueva CEO de Xbox [Asha Sharma] acaba de bajar el precio del Xbox Game Pass Ultimate de $29.99 a $22.99 USD y sacó a Call of Duty del día 1 del catálogo.
Honestamente este es un paso firme y sólido que no se quedó solo en planes o promesas. Que buena noticia. Es la primera vez que la volteo a ver con una buena intriga sobre sus decisiones, personalmente creo que ha demostrado que lo está haciendo bien y deja en duda por qué se tomaron muchas decisiones de los últimos años.
No queda nada más que celebrar.
Corran la voz.

McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski goes viral after seeming reluctant to eat his own burgers—he takes a tiny bite, looks uncomfortable, and calls the food ‘product.’ 👀 🍔 😳
Counterpoint: if you kick the extra point to go down 8, you know how many possessions you need to tie. The answer is 1. I’m an analytics guy but completely disagree with this reading of the numbers. It puts analytics in a bad light.
The 2 pt conversation is this
Philly trailed by 15
That’s a 2 score game slightly less than 50% of time (2pt success rate)
It’s a 3 score game the remaining %
You want to know as early as possible how many possessions you need.
That’s why you go for 2 down 9
It’s not debatable at all
@Boston__Sucks@SpikeEskin Ohhh, yeah I don’t necessarily disagree there. I’m tired of the Eagles being bad every other year when Sirianni loses his good coordinators. Time for them to get a real coach who isn’t dependent on others to carry him.
@Boston__Sucks@SpikeEskin I genuinely think they were the worst football team I’ve ever watched before in my life at the end of 2023. I had never seen a worse football team in my 30 years.
@SpikeEskin@Boston__Sucks This team proves that 2022 and 2024 were anomalies for Sirianni. He has always been carried by his coordinators. He’s not a real head coach. And without good coordinators he’s worthless. It’s time for this team to invest in a quality head coach.
