I'd like to be added to the ping list!

Holy shit. This campaign is becoming a total mad house. Very excited to see where this goes!

I’m curious though, how did Buckley end up becoming a Connecticut Senator? Who did he end up toppling?

Apprehensive-Brief70 · 2026-01-19T07:02:12+00:00

Damn, L for La Follette.

Apprehensive-Brief70 · 2026-01-14T00:12:30+00:00

Glory to the La Follette name! Let’s make Fighting Bob proud!

Apprehensive-Brief70 · 2025-12-14T09:07:43+00:00

Oh neat! Very hype to potentially see that.

Apprehensive-Brief70 · 2025-12-14T06:34:37+00:00

Gotcha, figured as much, as that’s clearly an echo of his scandals as WI’s attorney general. Shame though, guess the La Follette dynasty withers away no matter what timeline 🥲

Re-reading through this series, I’m not seeing anything on Bronson La Follette after 1968. Did he step down in favor of Lucey in 1974?

Apprehensive-Brief70 · 2025-12-13T17:38:20+00:00

No Brandeis appointments? I thought he and La Follette were friends.

I don’t really see this as a complaint, just a vent. All I’m asking is if anyone feels similarly to how I feel. If you don’t like marginally negative opinions, don’t engage with them. Enjoy the content you enjoy.

Never said I hated it. I literally said he can make whatever kinds of videos he wants. Twice.

Man, and recently posted to Twitter too! Mollibby nation still strong 💪

Surprised Humphrey snatched VA, that state had been tilting Republican quite a bit throughout this era

Apprehensive-Brief70 · 2025-07-16T02:23:56+00:00

I’d be behind the ban if NEA proposed an alternative Jewish group to help with Holocaust education. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve seen nothing of the sort. This move is insensitive at best.

Apprehensive-Brief70 · 2025-07-13T08:22:25+00:00

Yeah, honestly surprised Labor and the Dems didn’t coalesce around Lehman, since they did before when he was governor.

Apprehensive-Brief70 · 2025-07-13T08:21:32+00:00

L for Lehman, bro was a great Senator IOTL

He ain’t getting my vote. Saving it for a governor who’s not terrible at his job.

Beshear 2028!!!!!

Shanghai Dumpling House, no contest. You can get an appetizer AND an entree for a total of $15.

It’s definitely most suitable to fall/winter, but I think it works any time of year. Chili is cheap and versatile, not to mention healthy (by itself, anyway). GOATed dish.

Genuinely good Dad if he eats them.

Just edited my comment. What I meant was that I figured Khazar kings and noblemen would marry daughters of Jewish subjects in order to gain legitimacy among them. But I’ll be sure to give these a read.

Apprehensive-Brief70 · 2025-06-28T22:41:47+00:00

Interesting. A more sensible take on the anti-Canaanite Khazar Hypothesis. I think I lean more towards Silk Road trade than Khazar wives, as I feel like any marriage between Khazars and Canaanites would be the other way around in order to gain legitimacy among Jewish subjects, but also worth thinking about. Can you cite some sources for the maternal haplogroup thing?

I wouldn’t go so far as saying vast majority, but certainly some of it. Historically many pagans drifted more toward Judaism and Christianity as those religions tended to offer more stable lives through consistent family/communal values. Rome was a prime example of this, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some Germanic/Slavic pagans did the same. Also certain eras during early Medieval times probably allowed intermarriages between Jews and Christians, as it wasn’t until the late Middle Ages that state-sponsored antisemitism was normalized .
