The most recent Platner supposedly antisemitic thing was not actually a thing

almost same thing happened to me last week. didn’t hit me but nearly flattened a pedestrian.

If you live near Watertown SD, I’ll send you $100 and the thanks of a grateful nation if you send me photos of Noem getting off the plane.

💯 — Noem's ouster means that Miller successfully pinned her to take the fall

lolol. I was an actual sort-of cool nerdy kid (football AND mad computer skills, although not in remotely equal proportions) at a very, very nerdy HS. So this tracks on my side at least!

truly exceptional creative execution

i cannot stress enough that if you know anything about how kristi noem found out she was fired you must tell me

Maybe we'll get lucky. Maybe there will never be a response proportionate to what we deserve for this. I hope there isn't. I hope the worst it gets is that we have to live with this, that our system selects for stupidity and racism. We picked this person, with these beliefs, to run our country.

Whole lotta people out there screenshotting this, Senator. We're going to hold you to it.

They let me out from the poll writing mines (so. many. drafts. 😬) for a bit yesterday to talk to this super smart guy. Very fun conversation. Perfect way to celebrate Noem Getting Fired Day.

There’s multiple 9000 word stories on what his actual deal is. This one’s a little light on his community work, but he absolutely did not come out of nowhere.

Wow

Ok, but the last “antisemitic thing” Platner did was not in fact an antisemitic thing

We need candidates who fall firmly into “looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you” overlap.

Well look at that

Wow, that’s a beautiful font

yes!! I am fully obsessed with their whole design approach! One part of their media team worked with Zohran, not sure if there’s a design connection there too.

This is completely insane. $100B to make an entire region hate us. WHY.

Some inside chisme on the Jimmy T program

I think my total is about the same, and oddly also roughly the same incidence of people who became habituated to ketamine

Not sure what that means in a cosmic sense

I am just a guy with an opinion… and a fair amount of input on a decent sized budget, heh. Maybe that should be my bio. Just now noticed that bs profiles don’t have links! They really should.

George looks like a professor who has written a couple of popular books and suddenly is making money academics never dream of and he swings wildly from feeling cocky and envied to feeling insecure about both the podcast circuit and what other academics think of him.

😂😂☠️🪦

The person or people whose decision this was should absolutely be prosecuted in the Tribunals

Sarah does great work, but if I had to go into a street brawl with her research approach or mine, I’d definitely pick mine. C.f.

I mostly or even maybe totally agree. I just sometimes wish there was a teeensy bit more introspection going on, and I think that’s where I get frustrated. Probably unfairly.

😂

the woke 2 version of this is going to be terrifying to behold

same

I guess I sounded kind of grumpy there. I don’t have a problem with him exactly, but YES to this being an info environment problem. (don’t underestimate the group chats!) You can see the competing realities slugging it out in his content.
