Front registry headlight is edge-on to the forward decal markings, which reveals the film border. Two more coats of clear Aqua Gloss and polishing should reduce the shadow.

Psst. Don’t read the signs in town. You don’t want the trouble it’ll bring.

Terrible AI art of downtown Waunakee, WI.

Terrible AI art of downtown Waunakee, WI.

Beyond disappointing that the Waunakee Chamber of Commerce seems to have chosen AI over local artists and creators for the cover of its guide.

Create Waunakee, for example, is ALL about local creators. Nobody from the Chamber thought to call them?

That train track alone…ooooft!

Every one of these interviews with business owners who are now suffering should start with the question, β€œDid you vote for Trump?” And all sympathy for them should wither when they say yes.

Genuinely remarkable. You sailed past the theoretical human limit like it owed you money. I'd accuse you of cheating but I don't actually know how you'd cheat at this.

Well that was fun. I talked myself out of the color sep on one of the slides, but hey, a test is a test.

Because they are painfully constipated. That kind of evil does things to your insides. It’s like pushing an Idaho russet through the neck of a Coke bottle. God be with you.

There is something so utterly magical about stop motion (and about T.rex, obviously).
I am so grateful to artists like Lucas for keeping the medium alive in the digital era.

These folks who don't want copyright after the life of the author...motherfucker, who do you think is deprived of quality time when we write the damn books?

The sacrifice is not individual. That narrative is incorrect.

Families/beneficiaries should be compensated too.

So I don't know what to say about this book. Ten years after Saeldian ditched Kell in Baldur's Gate, they're back together for one last job

Kell will get everything he ever wanted. Saeldian will lose everything they have except the power that keeps them safe--but it's the least they can do for him.
