There is no song that would not be improved by this. Even Diddy's own songs! Put Kim on "Victory" instead of Puff and see what happens. From atrocity to masterpiece. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChNB...
If I were a billionaire, a frivolous thing I would do as soon as possible is pay Lil Kim to go into the studio and replace every Diddy verse in my music collection.
Ok, but when you watched Come and See and saw the Totenkopf pin on the Nazis’ hats, you wouldn’t have had any reason to recognize it or have it stick in your memory. Whereas when it’s something he saw in the mirror on his chest every day, it is less plausible that he didn’t notice it.
And he long ago crossed the line of a small lie for political expedience and is fully in the area of looking me directly in the eye and telling me to believe something we both know is bullshit.
I don’t think Platner is an actual Nazi. I *do* think he is very obviously lying about when he first learned what his tattoo meant and how he didn’t get it removed until it was inconvenient for his political aspirations and he keeps making that lie even less believable.
Somehow you watched that entire 2.5 hour film and all of the scenes of the Nazis committing atrocities in it and at no point did you think “Weird. The skull and bones pin on all of their hats looks EXACTLY like that tattoo I got in Eastern Europe.”?
It’s one thing to claim you drunkenly got a Totenkopf tattoo & somehow never learned what it was for 20 years. It’s another to claim this while being a self-proclaimed military history buff. It’s something else entirely while also saying your favourite anti-war film is that Soviet anti-Nazi epic.
What exactly did Platner think was on the hats of a bunch of the Nazis in ‘Come and See’, including the one holding the protagonist at gunpoint in one of the most well-known shots from the film, which was used as the cover for a bunch of the VHS & DVD releases

Here we go again
‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’
‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’
‘Hello’ is not related to either.
Goodbye.

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit
Daily Presidential public admission of war crimes
AB separatists apparently getting another meeting with the Trump admin
Another story mentions that his staff is terrified of not wearing the shoes and incurring his wrath, which leads to the suggestion that the entire oval office is now staffed by people whose shoes don't fit.
Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
“For every dollar donated by billionaires and their immediate families to a candidate or committee associated with Democrats, five dollars went to Republicans.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...
“Five presidential elections ago, before the Supreme Court’s 2010 ruling that lifted many remaining campaign finance restrictions, the share of billionaire spending was almost zero — 0.3 percent, to be precise.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...
“The Times analysis found 300 billionaires and their families donated more than $3 billion—19% of all contributions—in federal elections in 2024. The billionaire families gave an average total of $10 million each in 2024, roughly equal to what 100,000 typical political donors gave, combined.“ Gift:
2/ These are not military bases, they are the civilian infrastructure that keeps ordinary people alive. More than 1,300 people have already been killed since the attacks began, and nearly 6,700 civilian sites have reportedly been struck.
1/ A desalination plant supplying drinking water to 30 villages.
A flour and starch factory.
Oil depots blanketing Tehran in thick black smoke and contaminated rain.
65 schools. 13 hospitals.
Centuries-old heritage sites.
These are the latest targets in the illegal US-Israeli assault on Iran.
54% of GOP men under 50 are Holocaust deniers, so while I don’t think a current member would tweet “Jews don’t belong in US society”, we’ve already had GOP members read Mein Kampf on the floor & push Soros conspiracies & in 5-10 years I think the Overton window will have shifted. “Never” is naive.
Obviously Ogles’ racism against Muslims is appalling and should be career-ending and the fact that it isn’t is a serious problem! But declaring that other minorities will “never” be the target of bigotry like that in the US seems…a little naive about how quickly the Overton window has been moving.
We’re already at the point where polling indicates 54% of Republican men under 50 years old are Holocaust deniers. At some point soon, those views are going to filter up to the people they elect.
I don’t think the comparison is necessary to make this point. We’ve already seen that Elon’s Nazi salutes at the inauguration barely had any impact, nor did Republicans (including the president) rubbing elbows with Nick Fuentes, etc. Within 5 years, I wouldn’t be shocked at all at a tweet like that.
Like I've been saying, the present and future of the GOP is Nazi.
Watch the banality of evil in our time: the deposition of a DOGE employee explaining why he labeled an NEH grant to fund a documentary about women who suffered violence during the Holocaust as DEI b/c it’s
1. about women
2. about a minority: Jews
3. inherently discriminatory
youtu.be/VATymXTpT1s
Watch the video. He literally said that by focusing on Jews, a documentary about the Shoah is "inherently discriminatory." Also because it focuses on women. But he says that focusing on Jews in a holocaust documentary is inherently discriminatory.
According to DOGE flunky, a documentary about the experiences of Jewish women's slave labor during the Holocaust is "inherently discriminatory." Come ON.
