How much messy is too much?
Personally I loved the highly - flawed characters and their dubious decisions.

It's a horrible underworld of cruelty the people of USA have carefully ignored even though it's the manifestation of their xenophobia.

Oh there's literally dozens of us.

It was a reasonable assumption that UK voters wouldn't be so idiotic as to vote for it.
Unfortunately it wasn't true.

I feel it's a question that answers itself.
The profound racism that underlies every aspect of US culture has to be disavowed.
June 7, 2025 at 4:54 PM
This is well put.
June 7, 2025 at 4:49 PM
Oh!
Ok.
June 7, 2025 at 4:39 PM
I have no idea what this might mean.
June 7, 2025 at 4:31 PM
This is bollocks.

He couldn't be.
If he had been white America would have killed him.

Yep. Further seasons would have diluted the impact.
See also, Lovecraft Country.

TLDR: it's complicated.

Whether that means it was *outside Germany* is somewhat moot.
I believe special rules applied to the annexed lands.
Jurisdictional fuzziness was something of a Nazi Speciality.

This is often said but was Auschwitz actually outside The Reich at that time?
I don't know, but it's possible it was inside the annexed territory.

It's never quite clear whether such people actually believe such sottiseries or whether they just think they'll tickle the ears of their followers.

The usual fascist playbook.

I do hope they do justice to characters I still remember like Boxer The Horse and Benjamin The Donkey.

I thought it was fairly droll. And presumably they want to do something different from the CIA version of yesteryear.

Being on Bluesky encourages us to learn new things.

I'm sure he'll be happy with such a ringing endorsement.
June 7, 2025 at 9:18 AM
I don't think I've known who was *No.1* since about 1990.
June 7, 2025 at 9:17 AM
There is that.
June 7, 2025 at 9:16 AM
Most kind!
That's actually *more than a dozen* so the WaPo header is wrong as well as weird.

Perhaps he should change his name to Elon The Martian or something to make it more memorable.
June 7, 2025 at 9:13 AM
Definitely an N.
