I finally figured it out: this Iran war feels like the kinds of wars I used to have in Civilization II after I saved the game and felt like seeing how big a mess I could make.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Also, the difference between a Senate candidate who is a Nazi, and one who requires months and months of airtime and barrels of barrels of ink to prove he’s *not* a Nazi approaches zero.

Once again, if you don’t like it, introduce bills banning gerrymandering at the national level. Democrats will happily cosponsor.

Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership

He just threw more chaos into the Senate midterms too? Mullin is up for reelection this Fall.

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.

I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.

They also didn’t pay cover πŸ–•

It’s a very long story, but after a long drawn out legal process I wasn’t allowed to take office, so… no.

I was elected to college student government (as a joke write-in candidate) by promising to eat live bugs if I won.

Lastly, they are for the soul of your nation and your cause. Limits on war preserve humanity. Mercy transcends violence. After the fighting, there has to be something more. Rules of engagement and the laws of armed conflict protect you; abandoning them is dire.

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:

Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

A little confused by "instead" here.

My favorite part of the video is the podcast clip when Paul asks Beeple β€œYou were GRINDING for SOOOO long, how many years?” and Beeple goes β€œa couple years.”

This has been the single best real-life example of that "if you let one Nazi drink at your bar" thread I've ever seen

It’s kind of wild to me that people are so angry that 34% picked that option?

A bearded man wearing teal gloves uses a green rubber air blower to clean a small metal type punch. He sits at a desk with an open wooden case filled with neatly arranged metal punches, while a computer monitor displaying a magnified image is visible in the background.

Roddie Edmonds - Wikipedia

In positive news, Roddie Edmonds is finally posthumously receiving a Medal of Honor today for risking his own life to defend Jewish POWs in a Nazi WWII camp. When ordered to identify Jewish-American soldiers, he instead defiantly declared, "We are all Jews here."

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over
