We have the potential to love like the sun does—a golden cup over flowing without expectation of return. Trying to do that. NC Courage | Steelers | Dolphins| he/him State Democrat staffer in a red state The inequities of others do not excuse our own.

James Cameron, ofc, was way ahead of them on the news saying they weren’t missing before that entire circus even really got rolling.

A black and white photo of General George S. Patton in uniform with his hands clasped behind his back.

Patton believed he had lived previous lives, a character quirk played up heavily in the movie “Patton”

Patton had to show back up eventually.

Wait till this guy finds out this is also why we get so little veteran running back play anymore. King Henry is very much the exception.

Instead teams churn through drafting RBs, often using their tools to extend it to that 4th year to devalue the position.

If anything they should complain that fantasy doesn’t account for that instead of complaining about another person who neither made their gambling platform nor profits from it.

A lot of “never blame the people actually hurting you, only those hurting along with you” in here.

“For any state, I'm not going to recognize its rights to be a state with a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis whether it be of religion or race.”

Imo he explicitly said Zionist states don’t have a right to exist. To a Zionist, Israel without hierarchy of citizenship is equivalent to no Israel.

A lot of people who seem to genuinely understand the police aren’t our friends and are actively the enemy somehow don’t seem to grasp how remarkable the mayor of the largest city in the country publicly and actively even trying to get police to stop murdering people would be.

I don’t get it.

It used to be a lot better back when there was a + sign on the PFP of people you didn’t follow yet.

As a small account that really grew engagement a lot faster imo. Still, it’s a lot of engagement for someone with a small account and I do like it. Miss that feature though.

If you have the kind of brain poisoning to really like an algorithmic feed, Discover is one of the best ones I’ve ever seen.

It’s incredibly responsive and easy to control. Better even than peak era YouTube’s was. But that also means it can become maximally rage farming if a user allows/wants.

This is how I found out there were any survivors, so I’d say you’re entirely correct.

We’ve been hitting speedboats with missiles that were designed to cripple targets 1,000 times larger. A miracle anyone survived.

Of course that miracle is undone by even more cruelty.

Euclidian zoning is one of the most impactful mechanisms of systemic inequality and, in addition to reforms for it, we should pass a Constitutional amendment mandating that every school district in the nation receive exactly equal per pupil funding.

I know this is a sign that my brain is cooked, but I genuinely want Cuomo to find a way to garner less votes than Sliwa does. I think he can do it. He almost seems determined to do it.

Complications from the surgery are incredibly rare, but with one kid already lost, how many of our children’s lives are we willing to sacrifice for more competitive youth leagues?

Dude was interviewed on iirc abc basically within an hour or two of the news coming out that the sun was missing and said then and there it had imploded

Still we had a media circus for days over it, but ofc he was right from the minute he learned what we knew at the time

It’s 30 degrees colder than it was 7 hours ago and I’m very upset about it.

How you gonna go into a division rival game where you KNOW they are doing their all white color rush and let anyone in your staff wear white team gear?

Downright sloppy. Like. What the actual fuck where is the pride, the discipline? We used to be a real franchise.

As a Steelers fan, I’m starting to feel like Joe Flacco is the T-1000.

This dude keeps coming back from the dead to fuck my shit up and I am sick of it. I don’t want to ever lose another game to Sacko Flacco.

I don’t really get why this upsets you? Ship building is a good job we should have more of, and as one of the biggest maritime industry countries in the world we should have ship building capacity, but the rich monopolized it, & off shored it.

Is it just the concept of nations competing?

The new map the NC GOP is expected to force through next week. District 1 and 3 are the only ones to change, with district 1 receiving a lot of counties currently represented by District 3 to dilute the democratic voters in district 1 and turn it red.

The current map, that is already egregious.

NC GOP’s plan to steal yet another Congress seat just dropped.

For reference, NC had a 7-7 split in 2022. NC GOP court victories in the NC Supreme Court, following the wake of SCOTUS decisions, will now have us with an 11-3 split despite no major demographic or partisan changes.

Is it? It sounds exactly like the sorta thing that would push one hard left against the neoliberal order. He quit that job to go do the oyster farming. He’s said that job is the one that disillusioned him the most and out him on his current track.

They work real hard at making the highschool to Military pipeline feel like the easiest option. And it is factually the easiest for a lot of people in the US.

Once you on any path, change is hard. All I’m saying is nothing in his background is inconsistent with what he’s saying for his campaign.

Screenshot from Platner’s campaign website showing his platform set to the section on the military.

Take on waste and corruption at
the Pentagon; rebuild American
shipbuilding
Massive, massive waste in
procurement. A revolving door between
the Pentagon and massive
"defense"
contractors. Widespread consolidation,
encouraged by deliberate government
policy, to the point where competition
has virtually disappeared in many vital
areas. This is the legacy of several
decades of disastrous mismanagement
and profiteering at the highest level of
the American military.
We need to take the funds currently
paying for mansions in Virginia and
Maryland for defense contractors, and
reinvest them into closing the massive
shipbuilding gap.
I've seen under the hood. I know
exactly how much money is wasted,
and where. Send me to Washington and
I will work tirelessly to rebuild the
American military.

Not all socialists are fundamentally anti military. In fact, most communists in particular aren’t.

He is, however, anti private contracting. Let’s be specific, here is his platform.

Cut out the private sector profiteering, use public funds for public jobs. That’s textbook socialist policy.
