  1. He said you have to work hard and then he NAMECHECKED SHAQ.

  3. I can’t begin to feel better about this team until Nico is gone
  4. Sure. The qualification is that you have to be a Republican.
  5. Nobody wouldn’t. Flagg is a promising rookie. Luka is a 25 year old top 3 player now who will be a top-10 all time guy when he’s done. I like Flagg, I’m glad the Mavericks lucked into the pick. But he’s not ever going to be what Luka Doncic is.
  6. Good setup. What folding stock is that?
  7. Late to this one. I have not shot the Ethos or the XPLOR. However, I have spent considerable time with my friend’s A400 Xcel, which is mechanically similar and it’s the smoothest operating semiautomatic shotgun that I’ve tried. I prefer an O/U for sport and a pump for home, but if I was going to buy a semi it would be one of the A400s.
  8. That’s the thing- when I talk to MAGA people I get the sense that they see Abbott for what he is- a typical political shapeshifter and not real MAGA.
  9. Indeed, shame on me. Wish I had made it. That would be huge. I’m not sure that’s true. It’s like DeSantis 2 years ago: Abbott isn’t the most popular Republican in Texas, he’s the most popular Texas Republican in the country, which is different. Donald Trump is the most popular Republican in Texas.

  11. The first rule of Cafe Caribe: we do not talk about Cafe Caribe
  12. Military use of the Swastika dates to WWI. Finnish and Norse cultural use goes back millennia. Hitler adopted the Sanskrit Swastika to the flag in connection with the bullshit concept* of a proto-white “Aryan Race.” * I fully expect the new Liberty Institute at UT to offer graduate courses on this concept at part of their doctoral program in phrenology.
  13. I’m not downplaying anything. All jokes aside, and with all due respect to your family history, my grandfather shot and possibly stabbed some people wearing it to death in the Ardenne Forest, so I get it. HOWEVER- it seems borderline absurd to compare it to the swastika. The totenkopf was and is historic German military insignia going back to the 19th century and on top of that it’s just not very well known. The swastika, on the other hand, is immediately and universally understood to be Nazi insignia because it was specifically adopted by the Nazis, which is why despite 7000 years of humans using it all over the world, most of them from Kipling to the Navajo to the American Girl Scouts stopped using it. There are some notable exceptions. The Finns have an ancient historic connection and still use it in military contexts occasionally. It’s also used extensively in religious imagery by Hindus. If Ro Khanna has a depiction of Ganesh in his home that features the Swastika, should he resign? Look, I’m not arguing that Platner should be proud of a trashy tattoo. But it is highly unlikely that most Americans would look at that image and recognize it as Nazi imagery.
  14. Leaving aside the somewhat marginal Nazi-ness of the totenkopf, did you think Al Franken should resign for simulating “tune-in Tokyo”?
  15. I stand corrected! Cheerfully withdrawn.
