“You are an abolitionist, ain’t you?” “As to that, I cannot so readily answer. If by abolitionist you mean a zealot, I am none; but if you mean a man, who, being a man, feels for all men, slaves included, and by any lawful act, opposed to nobody’s interest, and therefore, rousing nobody’s enmity, would willingly abolish suffering (supposing it, in its degree, to exist) from among mankind, irrespective of color, then am I what you say.” “Picked and prudent sentiments. You are the moderate man, the invaluable understrapper of the wicked man. You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right.”

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

MYTH: These strikes could lead to a long war. FACT: It depends how many decades you consider “long.”

Trump’s War On Iran: Myth Vs. Fact https://theonion.com/trumps-war-on-iran-myth-vs-fact/

God I want to make an Amani troll so fucking bad it hurts, they'd better fucking add that body type into the game at the very least

Trump/Hegseth operational security: at Joe’s Stone Crab, a restaurant a 2-minute walk from the White House, someone was having a conversation about the attacks on Iran that were going to start in 6 hours. Loud enough for the founder of @TMZ.com to recount it in real time with his podcast cohost.

I should just start writing fiction for my wow characters

re:your "Ace Ventura goes to Epstein Island" script—we like the concept. We th ink its very good. But it borrows too many jokes from AV1 & 2

Alleged someone allegedly burning a concentration camp in Kansas City.

Suburban wine moms will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a concentration camp" and then very effectively firebomb a concentration camp

Kid with his fist back to punch someone for saying they like ice

When I say I stand on business this what I mean.

If anybody thinks this is a joke

One reason this filth remains niche slop for virulent racists and has no broader appeal is most people live in the world and don't understand what he's on about. He's pitching to a country that exists only in his fantasies. Despite some complaints most people don't think America is a desolate ruin

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

(clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.

It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

Check it! 🐰

Mamdani is doing so much for the city already that at this rate the 2nd avenue subway line will be up and running within the year

Obviously that requires some reading between the lines so it's up to interpretation on the character, and sadly/foolishly we never get to hear Stukov expand on any of those beliefs or dynamics in SC2

I don't think you're wrong because we have to infer a lot about De Gaulle's beliefs through the game, but: IMO De Gaulle sees all of humanity's loyalty as rightfully belonging to Earth/the UED, and anyone who turns their back on that is a traitor. Duran "became" loyal but it was a lie so: traitor

John Williams made an appearance on stage at the Boston Symphony Orchestra last night. This man deserves every bit of the love and adoration he gets.
