Trying not to be dulled to the horror of this headline

Umm… what do people think the *old* JP Morgan office layout looked like?

Wall Street firms were ever thus…

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

Rod never was one to love people who would actually love him back…

You know, I would never in a thousand years have expected "Ronald Reagan was in favor of free trade" to be a controversial statement with the Republican faithful, but here we go.

Soldier F is David Cleary, he was named in the Dáil and in the House of Commons. UK law does not apply in the Republic of Ireland, his name is David Cleary.

By the way if Platner was serious about his duty to the country and not just in it for the power, he'd have already stepped down. Republicans are gonna run "see they have Nazis too" ads in the general and he knows it and his team knows it but they don't care.

Again we aren’t fighting fascism fully because a large section of people who should be coordinating it .

DO. NOT. WANT . TO

They are using Trump and fascism as a triangulation to make sure we do what the want.

The accelerationism , the “identity politics” the class only ?

Tired of playing Guess The Hate Symbol on the White Man’s Tiddy

The Joker rejects the Red Skull for being a Nazi

I am begging people to have at least the basic moral judgment of The Joker when it comes to Nazism

Walker Percy is a particular fave of a corner of paleo-cons. Rod Dreher posted about him a *lot*.

Lot of guys just coming out and saying that Nazism is not a big deal to them. Very much a tell us who you are moment.

he who fights with the monster at the end of this book might take care lest he thereby become the monster at the end of this book

We also don’t need a second Nazi tattoo to decide this guy is bad news! An n of 1 is sufficient here!

Liberals when candidates defend trans people: "We can't do this, it's too unpopular."

Liberals when candidates have a nazi ss tattoo: "it's ok, not all candidates are perfect."

Do y'all hear yourselves?!

Seriously, why are you insulting people's intelligence like this. There is very obviously a massive excluded middle between "bland Ivy League corporate automaton" and "still has large Nazi tattoo." There's nothing wrong with having found him appealing. He was! But it's over and this is silly

My brother in Christ, “not having a Nazi tattoo” is not an impossible standard. For the love of god, log off.

guys

"don't have a nazi tattoo"
"don't be stupid enough to not know you have a nazi tattoo"
and
"don't be too stupid to not get a nazi tattoo removed before you run for federal office"

are not impossible standards

I've seen people die on some stupid hills in my time but "it's cool and normal to have a Nazi tattoo" is way up there in the rankings

Honestly I don't and shouldn't care about some random American election, so damn me for opining at all, but I think what the Platner drama shows (which is interesting) is that a certain Type of masculinity remains a social get out of jail free card even for alleged progressives.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Before the 'blue no matter who' bots chime in:

1.) yes, a Nazi tattoo - the Totenkopf insignia worn by concentration camp guards and neo-Nazi groups.

2.) NINETEEN YEARS AGO, and never had it removed; presumably he was not drunk this entire time

3.) yes, shared this -- to get in front of it

for people pretending not to understand, the problem with having an SS-style Totenkopf on your chest you got while you were drunk in Croatia is that you never got it covered up. this means either:
—you knew and didn't care
—you have no friends who knew what it meant and cared enough to tell you

This whole time I’ve been talking about the Fetterman Particles radiating off this guy but it turns out they’re regular were regular ol’ Hitler Particles.

Old pic of Sliwa

Curtis Sliwa in the 80s looks like a guy in 2025 who is about to talk to you ear off about why you need to volunteer for Zohran Mamdani.

I think you’ll find that once you’ve decided that your favored candidate can have a little genocide as a treat and still get your vote, then you are the one who is enabling the next genocide.

But I don’t argue with drive-by bots. Good day.

Shhhh…. You’re not going to hit your quota of threads for the day if you spend this much time here.
