That’s a really interesting observation because I remember one of the reasons Dan Drezner didn’t restart his toddler thread (besides exhaustion) was because the White House was filled with enablers this time. If it’s bad enough they’re talking like that again…

You know that Big Kahuna burger from Pulp Fiction? Here in Seattle we have Dicks which has a similar kind of small cheeseburger in the smash style. Nice and crispy patty edges etc etc. I think I'll go get a couple.
We like to make fun of the profession but a lawyer in the right place and time doing the right thing is worth their weight in gold.
Been following Hannah and Joseph / Whalenought Studios since 2014, when they kickstarted Serpent in the Staglands.
Cool people, doing cool & extremely distinct RPGs. After issues with Serpent & Mechajammer, it's nice that this seems to be their breakout hit - the one where it all clicks together.

Makes the tenement tours even freakier tbh.

The throughline for sanewashing this is most likely the Gospel Coalition. They‘re a Reform/Calvinist crowd that write Very Serious Pieces about male headship and platform kooks in a “wait this isn’t as controversial as you might think!” way. Very complementarIan-male-headship so the fit is natural.
I always had a soft spot for Fiona Ritchie and the Thistle and Shamrock coming in on Thief River Falls MPR.
Yes rest and heal. So that you are strong and able to face the perils before you. Pleasant. Dreams.
