Ever type out a whole reply and then go “you know what? Never mind” and delete it?

I think this is symptomatic of empathy burnout. So many people deserve a little of your energy and the bad in the world just keeps metastasizing and eventually you hit a wall. This is just your wall and it’s not an unfair one

Fuck you and your platforming of Graham Platner, @podsaveamerica.crooked.com I hadn’t really listened for a while but I took this opportunity to unsubscribe. I know it won’t mean anything, but I’m sick of hearing about this Nazi-adjacent person and his excuses for being Nazi-adjacent

According to some who met him, the dude had a cutesy way of saying “that’s my totenkopf!” when asked about it! He’s probably not a literal Nazi, but he sure does seem like a shit human with shit decision quality, which means he’d make a shit senator

incredible how white men are given the benefit of the doubt when anything coming from marginalized groups are treated with utmost suspicion and distorted beyond recognition
Let’s get this out of the way: Graham Platner isn’t a Nazi. He had a Nazi tattoo, sure, but he doesn’t anymore. He got it covered up in October, a few days after the world learned about the Totenkopf symbol he got inked on his chest in Croatia while on military leave two decades ago. If one can get a Nazi tattoo innocently, then Platner almost certainly did. He says he didn’t know its true meaning at the time, and there’s little reason to doubt him.

January 3, 2026: Today I am thinking about Rambo for the NES, another game I played at my mom’s friend’s. I was never very good at it, and I think tried to play it as a teenager in an NES emulator, but still wasn’t very good at it. I should give it one more try and save (state)-scum my way through

When you’re getting facts from an unreliable narrator whose primary unreliability is that it wants to please you no matter what, you’re looking at sycophancy at best, delusion at worst. There are no good outcomes

a nazi speaking at a nazi rally. it’s really not deeper than that.
Elon Musk tells an AfD rally in Germany: "I think there is too much focus on past guilt (in Germany), and we need to move beyond that.
Children should not feel guilty for the sins of their parents - their great grandparents even"

Wife LOVES all of the football documentaries, so even knowing what we were in for, wanted to give the Aaron Rodgers one a try. First episode was mildly hagiographic, but fine and an interesting reminder of his arrival and the Favre nonsense. Then, RFK Jr. showed up in the second ep, and we were out

@reckless.bsky.social I’m subscribed to Command Line currently. Is that going to be converted to a site sub since the price is the same, or should I cancel it in order to sub to the site? Either way is fine, just a little confused as to where to shove my money!
