I hear what y’all are saying but I just think this dude isn’t ready for this level of public attention or power no matter how you slice it.

It’s good this came out a year ahead of the general for this seat.

Other reporting (jewishinsider.com/2025/10/grah...) states that he told an acquaintance it was a totenkopf in 2012.

Whether or not you believe that, he is either deeply intellectually incurious about a tattoo on his own chest, a liar, or a nazi. None of which are good qualities for a senator.
Graham Platner says ‘I am not a secret Nazi’ after photos of his tattoo emerge
A former acquaintance of the Maine Senate candidate said he called the tattoo ‘my Totenkopf,’ referring to a symbol adopted by a Nazi SS unit

Apparently it’s part of a Maine thing and his one non-nazi tattoo idea.

But like, you don’t have a totenkopf on your chest for 20 years without knowing what it is. Fuck this guy.

fwiw it's part of a larger tattoo, which reads "Est. 1919". i don't recognize it, but someone else might.

I’m self-hosting on a raspberry pi and I got it set up to stream off my local network. I feel like a god and I can’t wait to self host more and more stuff.

I’ve been slowly ripping all the dvds I bought before streaming got big. It’s incredibly satisfying, if slow going.

I’ve been getting really into setting up a media server and moving all my physical media onto it. I feel more validated by this every day.

I heard of it years ago on a podcast where Lyra Gold mentioned Russ’s critiques of LeGuin. The back cover has kind of turned me off as much as it intrigues me, so I never started it.

I have a long train trip next week and I think it might be one of my book options for that liminal space.

I was trying to decide what to read next and kind of floundering.

This skeet is pushing me to EITHER a k/s fanfic that I’m like 20k/90k of the way through or the Female Man which is on my shelf and unread. AO3 is calling me, but may lose.

When should an author consider a book “queried out” (alternatively, can an agent tell when a book has been queried for a long time)?
