Other than that, how was the kerning, Mrs. Lincoln?

Maybe we could get like a change.org petition going to replace the stars and stripes with a rat’s anus?

Anyone who is “moderate” or “apolitical” at this point are, at best, idiots.

This has been the case for a long time. Being apolitical has always been a tacit endorsement of the status quo; a conservative position by default. Self-described moderates are usually classic enlightened centrists: total morons that have convinced themselves that—regardless of where you place the boundaries—the middle path is the smart one. Shockingly, this group of people doesn’t respond well to being accurately described.

It’s from the early days of Greatest Gen, and references Captain DeSoto of the USS Hood (NCC-1703). DeSoto and the Hood made several appearances in TNG, and Ben and Adam leaned into his chill vibes, theorizing that the Hood would be a great place to work.

It’s also an allusion to the phrase Friend of Dorothy, an older euphemism for LGBT people.

I think it was originally jokingly conceived as a sort of passphrase or shibboleth for fans of the pod to identify each other without revealing their embarrassing enthusiasm to outsiders, e.g.

Q: “Are you a friend of DeSoto?”

A: “Best boss I ever had!”

Depressingly accurate. Nice.

Ayy, there’s a West Wing reference under Adventure.
