This place is not a place of honor.

Looks like Mamdani will end up clearing Cuomo by more than Sliwa's vote total, or near enough that it'll kill that cope.

Gods I love baseball, it's the worst

They were horrifying weirdos when I got my first degree 20 years ago, and they hadn't changed a lick when I went back to school for a career change a decade later.

There's definitely truth that many mainstream Republican or Republican-aligned groups have steadily radicalized and either converted or exiled any moderate elements... but the Young Republicans aren't in that group.

Completely unironically it’s one of baseball’s greatest strengths.

Interestingly ship disaster videos have the opposite effect.

They definitely have something there. It's a shame about Skattebo, I hope he recovers, but at the same time the way he runs seems like it's not going to lead to a long career.

Mostly I'm just happy Drake Maye looks so good already.

The Brits do seem to have a thing for knobs. Just look at their Prime Ministers.

There is some dark comedy in watching people be so desperate to jump in front of the bullet for Platner they admit to the wildest shit.

"Everyone has youthful indiscretions! I supported the Vietnam War when I was the age he got the tattoo! Does that make *me* a bad person?"

Incredible work.

26. What he has is the power to overwhelm the truth in the service of his goals. That doesn’t come from being a working-class man. It comes from being a white man. He is not invoking the solidarity of class.

He’s invoking the solidarity of race.

Nothing in the past decade has disabused me of the idea that horseshoe theory is real specifically for mediocre white dudes.

This is the stack of playbooks we're preparing for the AWBO kickstarter coming up on Nov. 3. All four sheets have the short-form descriptions, like: THE HARRIER We are the fire in the ashes of the world. We are the claws that rake the earth. We are the screaming machines that tear the roads to ruts and shake the ruined buildings. We are the furious horde of the not yet dead. When you play the Harrier, you have a dangerous and skilled, but chaotic, combat gang. The full text shown is in the thread.

T minus 11. An #ApocalypseWorldBurnedOver thread. In case you were wondering what we're cooking up in #AW3rd edition.

All I'm saying is we should hold Senate candidates to at least the standard we hold the weird guy at the Warhammer tournament if he had the same symbol on his army.

This has lead me to stop calling a lot of narrative games “rules light” and switch to “math light.” Something like Lasers and Feelings is rules light, but something like Ironsworn has rule complexity and depth on par with “classic” games, just with fewer tables and numerical stats.

Blindsight is amazing. There’s a cool speculative trailer someone made for it. It’s a bit spoilery though, fair warning, but looks amazing.

Mostly the deity does not bother paying attention to the priesthood, but every once in a while a priest ends up in the right place for the Rahdu to work through them to further some unknowable goal and this always has hilarious consequences for the priest.

The Rahdu (N Druid): Actually inscrutable nature god whose goals and actions truly are beyond your understanding. Most of its priests use this as an excuse to be the worst kind of smug pseudo intellectual dipshits.

The sad thing really is you're going to walk away from this and think you aren't a fucking moron.

And while you might be that gullible, I know full well Australia is not so isolated that this isn't the case, and if it was believable you couldn't have found this, maybe you should keep your mouth fucking shut when you don't know shit from shit.

I was being purposely rude because your disingenuous "oh but how could I have found the picture that's in every article about this" is obvious bullshit. Sorry you can't pretend to be a naive little waif but that's the price for being stupid in public.

The answer to the question of “who would recognize that symbol anyways” is absolutely “40ish year old white dude with a military background and an interest in politics who spends too much time making edgy posts on Reddit.”

Graham Platner shirtless, showing his Schutzstaffel totenkopf tattoo.

Here is the photograph of the tattoo that is easily found with a Google search. It is the very specific version of the symbol designed for SS and is distinct from the ones used in other contexts.

Never thought I'd have to agree with a dirty clanner.

You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like. ATGMs cannot lock on to it because it is a jet and SAMs cannot lock on as it has legs.

At least the Yankees are getting their asses kicked.

Gonna go with the Krakens since you said the sharks were close.

Dragonspears or Dark Krakens maybe

Iron Snakes?

You jest but archaeological evidence suggests this was a real kind of guy.

There is a high concentration of guys named the cultural equivalent of Gaz, Baz, and Big Dave, but not so much on that particular fit.
