also, how does Platner claim that he had no idea what a Totenkopf was or that his tattoo was one until a week ago when this Reddit conversation he was part of 6 years ago was all about a soldier with a Totenkopf where people discuss the difference between an SS Totenkopf vs. a Punisher skull etc.

The totenkopf on the dude first on the left is a good clue.

Edit: just so everyone is fully aware it's a joke

Many soldiers still use the skull as an emblem (see the Punisher skull for the SEALs) or regiment emblems all around the world. It's a way of making others fear them and all.
Also I understand the reference btw.
NOT SAYING THE SS WERE GOOD GUYS DON'T GET ME WRONG

see the Punisher skull for the SEALs
Punisher is a kind of unofficial emblem and it's more something some individuals do. I've seen it more on civvy and moto stuff than on actual servicemen.
[−]P-Hustle3 points6 years ago
When I was in Ramadi in ‘06 as a Marine grunt, the SEAL platoon we worked closely with for the deployment all had the Punisher skull spray painted on their armor carriers.
There’s no question it’s far more prevalent on all the dumbass Grunt Style and Nine Line shirts these days, but the teams definitely adopted it for a while](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tgkvm2cnko2wvhordyicb53o/bafkreibdg3j5y77tjfih4jxuwys2pseaio3nwbwjetoef4zuk2phe2ijrq@jpeg)

Long Island deserves a Representative who fights for working families and stands up to Trump’s attacks. Meanwhile, Andrew Garbarino can’t even wake up to vote.

"There is nothing wrong with having a house devoted to white people and it is outrageous that the Democrats would destroy any part of it in a terrorist act," said Senator Tuberville. He paused as an aide whispered in his ear.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.
Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.
Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.
Shame.

The new Supreme Court term starts today, meaning that -- in a novel twist -- the justices will hear oral arguments in some cases before they issue rulings that actually explain what they are doing.
