An enlarged version as it's hard to read. (I tried to OCR it, but it didn't work.)

I mean, sure, our Secrety of Defense is an overcompensating, alcoholic, terminal lieutenant bro with the strategic vision of a coma patient, but, have you seen his jump shot?

This is absolutely horrible. (Read this letter). And apparently very little has changed for university administrators.

I am shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you, to discover that the person who doxxed the Cornell rape victim was...Michael Tracey. Man, that guy has such a talent for stepping on his own dick.

Biggest media company in history comparing itself to the biggest ship in history is...an interesting choice.

We should probably go back at least to the grandparents and check lineage. Maybe we need a helpful chart to distinguish pure English from half-breed English.

Also, for what it's worth, those look like a bunch of nordic rune tattoos and while I'm not saying it's definitely a warning flag...well...#IYKYK

Make-A-Wish Pete still regretting turning down his appointment to West Point. There's only one corps of cadets, dipshit. And you were too scared to join it.

Do I have any expertise in this area? No. Will I let that stop me from claiming brilliance? Also, No. Wow! This is great! Let's publish it! - Penguin

Ah, I see our Secretary of Dipshittery is doing PT and making everyone wear a stupid definitely not uniform t-shirt. I am so looking forward to this guy's ultimate downfall.

Look, I don't want to be discriminatory or whatever, but it DOES look weird when the Japanese reenactors are, like, middle-agd white guys. And, I'm questioning if they really needed the round coke-bottle glasses...

In any case, no one who made this many conscious choices to dress up like a Nazi should be teaching people about the Wehrmacht in WWII.

No...for reenactments to be...realistic, there need to be people being horribly maimed and killed. Everything else is sanitized cosplay. And you don't need Nazis for cosplay. The Clean Wehrmacht is the cockroach of historical myths.

Preparing my syllabus and I just think it's absolutely wild that a university would buy this magic bean nonsense and then push it on students when its own materials clearly state that it sucks. #AI

Award for Most Disingenuous Excuse for Being a Nazi goes to...the Heidenau town council. Yes, actually, that's the point. That you step over them or on them and they cause you discomfort perhaps. A metaphorical kind of discomfort...like...a stumbling block.

This was my sense from visiting. This from the Rand piece above seems to nail some of this.

I mean, there is literally a National Museum of the American Indian in the Smithsonian. That this museum isn't a "Native American Holocaust Museum" is as I understand it because the Native Americans who designed the museum didn't want it to be that.
