Ok new strategy we convince VooDoo to replace their maple bacon bars with maple brisket bars. Offer them to the TX NG and all sides will drop their arms, join hands in harmony and fall into deep food comas

And not just any donut a VooDoo Donut

Just remember “keep Portland weird” came from “keep Austin weird”

*its actually more complicated than that, but this version fits into a single post

a man in a blue shirt says " no doubt " ALT: a man in a blue shirt says " no doubt "

If coach woulda put uncle rico they woulda won state. No doubt in my mind

Guess I flew a little too close to the sun, he blocked me for that one

He’s way past ‘falling into’ it, its basically his official vocation since he retired

For those of you new to the RFT thread, this is his official request for you to explain why the whole thing is actually Reagan’s fault

a cartoon character says " do n't you know sarcasm when you hear it ? " ALT: a cartoon character says " do n't you know sarcasm when you hear it ? "

Adding this footnote so I don’t get blocked

If only bean counters at The Atlantic would allow their writers to post gift links to stories from time to time

And don’t even get me started on how much the airfare is to fly all the way to RI just to hear you shouting at the clouds from your front porch in person

I do get the print edition…

… but only for the articles

For all the kids that grew up on the internet, ask your parents to explain this reference

I’m not saying I will announce to the world when I win the lottery

But after watching my hour long broadcast of me explaining to Ken all the reasons you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater

There might be signs

Omg. Stupid auto-correct. *New England

cmon confusing RFT and JVL?

One is a dyed in the (pinstriped) wool Yankees fan

The other doesn’t really understand ‘sportsball’ but has spent enough time in New English to just intrinsically know ‘Yankees Suck’

Thanks. It was an honest question

I came to this mid-flight and couldn’t figure out how it actually started

I know blaming Reagan for everything is basically table stakes in one of Tom’s treads, but exactly why people were digging in their heels on “he didn’t say ‘AIDS’ in 84” confused me

Tom, I try to stay abreast with these late night reply wars you seem to always find yourself in, but this one honestly has me lost

Is the debate here simply whether when looking at an election 40+ years ago its ok to second guess the messaging of just the eventual winner or of both candidates?

Under the FD, Mamdani would be able to exert influence over local, state, and federal law enforcement over who to arrest and why. Since he will control NY’s state run grocery stores, he will have outsized control over NY’s supply of Snickers bars and Red Bull, ensuring law enforcement stays loyal

Unlike recent the NRA v Vullo decision which limited jawboning. Under the FD the government could engage in unlimited jawboning as long as the minority party was given equal opportunity to jawbone the opposing view.

Ok with Ken prompting I couldn’t resist

This can really all be laid the feet of Reagan for killing the fairness doctrine. As we all know FD did NOT only apply to over the air broadcast stations, it also applied to how politicians communicated with those stations.

Yeah but the eventual TV show inspired by the whole thing where Kiefer Sutherland goes from hapless Lt Col to Supreme Allied Commander will be pretty good

At least for the first season, it might jump the shark after that

@radiofreetom.bsky.social after mostly posting snarky replies, an honest question not covered in the article :
What is the geopolitical game theory of someone using this moment to ‘test’ us?

Not the basic cable ‘lets blow up the pentagon’ plot sense
But ‘routine training’ in strait of Taiwan sense

Honestly CivIII is probably the one I’ve dedicated more of my life to than any of the others

I haven’t started 7 yet. Does it get the official RFT stamp of approval?

Possible alternative ways for people to spend time:
-play CivIII so if you even run into its lead game designer you can tell him everything he did wrong
-strictly monitor footwear usage on public transportation
-extol the virtues of garlic powder to a clove garlic loving populous

If you like your ribs to have the truly ‘fall off the bone’ tenderness. The 3-2-1 works great for that

If you like a little more firmness to meat, doing some of the ‘easier’ recipes where you cook them a little bit shorter time at little bit higher heat and don’t wrap them

Maybe the problem is everyone is thinking of it a binary fascism or not fascism but its really a continuum

So on a scale of
Boston’s More than feeling = all the world’s children living in peace and harmony
Led Zeppelin’s houses of the holy = Berlin 1939
Where are we now? Kingdom Come’s Get it on

So even if it peters out to just a tropical storm it will be getting to DC right about when our entire military’s flag officers are all trying to get flights back to their bases?

But Ken. He’s writing it in an online publication not saying it from the balcony of a imperial palace or in front of a burning cross. So must be calling violence ‘the right way’

But let’s all agree that the TV show based on this where Kiefer Sutherland goes from hapless Lt Col who has to stay back and not attend becomes supreme allied commander

At least for the first season, it might jump the shark after that

I have no memory of anyone named Jimmy Kimmel

Plus that was all a long time ago and didn’t really happen anyway
