  2. We've got a lot of pitching in the infirmary for sure.
  3. @MotownWebGuywhat is up with the embeds?
  4. I'm sad that the company that puts out Andor is involved in this crap. Post by @sarahposner.bsky.social — Bluesky
  5. I get the original argument that what is "legal" within a state operating with no regard to International Law and human rights isn't actually legal and can be punished by international courts like the Nuremburg and Tokyo Trials.
  6. almost as if the people that pay them are in a file of some sort that could prove embarrassing.
  7. The fractured nature of the political opposition to this current nuttery is def a problem. I hope a bright light answer emerges by Nov 2028.
  8. 80 years of Holocaust scholarship have been a pitched battle over various questions. Few Holocaust scholars except the denialists would say it wasn't "legal" in Nazi Germany given the Nuremburg Laws and subsequent directives of the Final Solution. Here is a helpful list of historians and celebrities who support that denialist position (see Kanye West): Who's Who of Holocaust Denial | ADL The other main argument was between the "Functionalists" and the "Intentionalists" Functionalism–intentionalism debate - Wikipedia Put into a bumper sticker: Functionalists: To some degree the Nazis hated Jews but the actual Final Solution was more part of various organs of power slipping into the decision to commit genocide because it seemed to fit with the overall war or just they felt they were interpreting Hitler and other leading Nazi's views. Intentionalists: Hitler may have never signed any directive but everything that happened was because he wanted it to happen. The degree to which these battles were fought and were tinged with political hues of left/right etc. And to which some of the best scholars (e.g., Raul Hilberg) were tainted because they were somehow less tough on the Nazis for being "Functionalists" is just weird in hindsight. Hilberg wrote a MASSIVE accounting of the process of the Holocaust which is an amazing document. Just a massive tesseract of historical work. He counted each train, each arrival, each order he could find. He knew all about the size and shape of the Holocaust. At the end of the day...my heart is in both academic camps and despairs of the conflict. Clearly Hitler was sociopathic toward the Jews and none of this would have happened if he had not wanted it to happen.
  9. They did that on Constitution Day to prove a point.
  10. enough of this crap...win tomorrow
  11. citizens united repealed, national redistricting based on population, ethics rules for legislators and jurists.
  12. Was he watching particularly meaningful episodes of Bluey?
  13. Pilots are told to 'get off the iPad' and steer away from Trump's Air Force One jet 'immediately' in 'close encounter' on flight to UK | Daily Mail Online Provided without comment.
  14. He's what: Martin Borman or Lavrenti Beria?
  15. So, the mindless goons who did the arrests and damaged US/SK relations were just following orders to arrest and deport a quota of people.
  16. That NYT lawsuit is amazingly Emperor's New Clothsy (ENC). He has never made a mistake and everyone loves him according to the filing. He's only disliked by jealous people who lack his superior genetic make up.
  17. Anti-zionism is too far, but singling out every person who identifies as Trans isn't?
  18. I'm less hostile to the idea of a public good than I used to be for sure.
  19. "Called" My beliefs remain the same: Free trade, collective security, the rule of law. The modern GOP stands for the opposite of those things.
  20. say what?
