If this is something worth writing about this is the bad place.

With the robots put away for the next couple of months, we now turn our attention to building a ukulele for a TV show prop… cause my life is fucking weird as hell.

So I’m clear

3 countries, all whose government’s are propped up by religious fervor & impotent rage, are converging on each other with Putin stirring

But the End Times are coming because I’m sharing a bathroom with someone whose mom accidentally named her Steve at birth.

Have I got that right?

We had a fun an somewhat frustrating day NHRL this weekend. Two ins followed by a tough judges decision in the round of 32. My goal was to make the top 16 and prove that Bean Supreme could still compete under the new rules/judging, but I am losing faith that is the case.

Yup.

But what if the poors moved into those small towns too?!? It’d be tragic!

When you look at Hegseth, you can tell he’s a piece of shit human being. But wow, it’s really so much worse.

Trans youth deserve to live free of fear and bullying, especially from the President.

Not always what I’m wanting to do right now, but almost always fun.

I love it! Glad you’re getting time to do what you wanna do.

I feel like the kids are old enough it’s not scouts. Have you just become hooked?

Nobody cares about this. You have limited resources and this isn’t important and isn’t helping.

That’s shady AF

The entire story makes it look that way. Who has better reporting on this?

It was a fun novelty at one point. It’s worn off and now we’re just supposed to swoon cause β€œoh look at what Snoop is up to now”. Who gives a fuck.

I’m very much over the Snoop schtick during the Olympics coverage. He’s a Trump boot licker and a fraud.

I dont have a dog in this fight, but I have seen enough of your posts to think you’re a troll. This post confirmed it.

Go unwoke, and your community will just wind up remaining dumb as rocks.

Ya… it didn’t rhyme but fuck it.

Be angry.
Be exhausted.
Be shocked that is happening in this country.
Yell.
Raise hell.
Be educated.
Post what you feel.
Share the victims names.

Remember to take care of yourself, too. We weren’t meant to intake this much trauma and news.

Fuck 🧊.

Nobody has ever more effectively made the opposite point they were going for.

It’s honestly surprising how may elements of this story you got wrong. It’s Washington State… not federal and it says nothing about milling machine and laser cutter or machine shops.

It’s a dumb bill in our dumb ass country… but it’s not what you said.

It's beginning to look like all of those guns Americans buy to keep government in check were only ever bought for school shootings.

Whelp, I think we’ve hit the point where there is no longer any place to try on a damn pair of work pants. The Internet was supposed to make everything better, instead… *gestures everywhere.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: β†’
