@Expat_Matt I think Platner sucks but I have a stupid fucking tattoo of the name of an old gf on my shoulder in a cross. I've been married for 19 years to a different woman and could get it removed but haven't. I know I should, I care nothing for the other woman, but life happens
A Collins classic here where she joins Dems in the failed vote to block Trump’s slush fund so she can say she was against it, but when they needed her vote to get it over the top she was there for them.
Met a young person who can't find a job bc of AI. His mom is sick and needs home care. He drives Uber to pay rent, but is barely getting by. I told him the White House pool is going to be longer than skyscrapers and he burst out crying. "Thank you sir," he said, "I needed that."
@newbiedm@thiseffingm Aside from which edition I prefer, I just wanted to say nobody who cares enough to ask "maybe I'm not doing a good job" is doing that bad a job. I've seen your game setup and Iomandra stuff, I'm 100% sure you're a bad ass dm

Collins here underscoring the case for Platner, she can't give a simple "no way" to an obviously unsuitable Trump nominee — a guy who has zero qualification for the job other than his demonstrated willingness at FHFA to engage in abuses of power.
Marshall fired generals on grounds of performance and preparedness. He did not fire them because of some belief that they’d benefited from affirmative action or that they’d committed the crime of being associated with the wrong imagined political faction. Beware spurious history.
@evolutionarypsy I was surprised to learn a friend of mine had been a Kirk listener. He seems less happy with TPUSA now. There's definitely something to this outside my experience/exposure, so it was insightful to read. 'People trust figures not institutions' is a powerful insight for me
