Magdi Jacobs@magi_jay·
In 2019, seven years ago, when he was 34-years-old, Graham Platner logged into reddit and posted a response to a video of an American soldier being shot by the Taliban. Platner wrote: "This video never gets old. Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible shit decision possible when it comes to small unit combat." Think about each line. "This video never gets old." Platner's implying he's watched the video several times and enjoys it. "At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt." That's what Platner thinks about his fellow Americans at war. If they're not good at killing or broader tactics, he has contempt for them. He displays no empathy. The opposite, in fact. The man that Platner is commenting on, by the way, is Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was a 37-year-old father of two serving in Afghanistan at the time of the incident (2012). The bad tactic Platner enjoys mocking? Daniels stepped into the open deliberately to draw Taliban fire away from his fellow soldiers so his squad could get to safety. Daniels was shot four times in this video and, ultimately, earned a Purple Heart. When the video was initially released (2013), Pfc. Daniels was critical of himself in interviews, saying, "It wasn't the most tactically brilliant thing to do." He described that he was embarrassed by the video; that people could hear him screaming for help. But, also, he said: "I put my ass on the line for other guys." Then, we have, again, Graham Platner, logging into reddit, in 2019, to comment: "Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live." For all those who say, "That's just how Marines talk," I'll tell you: Platner's comment got downvoted by the military community. Even if it didn't: We're not talking about the military anymore. We're talking about a 34-year-old man, years after service, logging in to mock another man who's being shot on video. We're also talking about the U.S. Senate, not boys-will-be-boys or Marines-will-be-Marines. We're always told to view Platner as a changed man. 2013, when he made the rape apologia comments, was the "darkest point in his life," or so we have been told. So what was going on in 2019, such that Platner enjoyed watching a video of a man getting shot and mocking him? How many arcs of change are there in Platner's life? Was there a specific point where he discovered human empathy? I couldn't help but think of that specific reddit comment while watching the video below. "Still sending young Americans to die thousands of miles away from home," Platner says. Didn't he log in to reddit seven years ago to say, "Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live" ? I don't like being lied to.

Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine

We destroyed Iraq. We destroyed Afghanistan. And the people behind all that destruction, all that killing, the people who sent me to war are still in power. Still sending young Americans to die thousands of miles from home.

Dear boycott campaign, Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, your request to remove Israel from the stage could not be processed. Israel almost won anyway. 🇮🇱🎶 #Eurovisión2026 #Eurovisión #eurovisióngr

So proud of Noam Bettan’s Eurovision 2nd place. He had to overcome booing, violent threats, and many European governments trying to burn the whole competition to the ground to stop him competing. He’s a king and made the Jews proud 🇮🇱

"They should put a giant Nora Ephron statue in the Hollywood hills like that Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro." More absolute perfection from @SheaSerrano, writing about the greatest RomCom of all time and an all time banger from Rob Reiner, "When Harry Met Sally"

1/ The @nytimes just published one of the most serious sets of allegations imaginable against Israel – claims of systematic sexual violence, including a bizarre story about carrots and trained rape dogs. We checked the sources. What we found is journalistic malpractice. 🧵

A “New York Times Investigation” concludes that Israel puts on good songs at a *song contest* so that the public will vote in the *public vote*. Give them a Pulitzer!

“Gazumping” has to be one of the most only-in-journalism words I’ve ever come across. This has to go in the record books over at @thepressboxpod (The book is Checkpoint Charlie by Iain MacGregor)
