my grandfather never spoke a word about his service in the war (european theater, normandy to battle of the bulge to remagen to leipzig). it was just a Thing You Don't Ask Grandpa About because it was so triggering for him
i only learned the details when he finally wrote it down at age 80

i was one of the few named authors of the internal memo at twitter, signed by like 800 employees, demanding jack ban trump after 1/6 and i have to admit i’ve spent too many sleepless nights since then wondering if we—twitter employees—won the battle but lost the war when we sent that to leadership

There's a great exchange between Adam and Jamie in one of the final episodes:
A: How do you hope we'll be remembered?
J: For promoting critical thought.
A: But what do you _think_ we'll be remembered for?
J: _sigh_ for blowing crap up.

I walked out the date... confused. Did she really say all that? Did I misinterpret something? What the fuck just happened?
I texted her "uh, what was with the conspiracy stuff?" and got that reply I posted at the top of the thread.
And immediately blocked her.

This is one of the bluest neighborhoods in the nation. Absolutely nothing before the date suggested she was even right-wing, much less a Protocols-quoting Nazi.
All we texted about was gardening and dogs and such.

Then the big one: she's glad we've finally translated "his" speeches and are questioning the "official narrative".
She didn't _say_ Hitler or the Holocaust but uhhhhh what else could that be?

During the date she definitely started dropping some dog whistles. I was... confused. Was I misunderstanding her?
Then she said we finally know the truth about chemtrails. And cloud seeding.
Oh boy. Not good.

I live in Denver, which voted for Harris 76-20. She lives in my neighborhood which went 83-12.
We met at the dog park, she's in her 30s, has a french bulldog and worked in the cannabis industry. And is not white.
Absolutely nothing about her suggested Nazi freak before our date.
