Yikes, what a thread...

1. In a stunning new poll released by Fox News, voters prefer the Democratic Party to the Republican Party on transgender issues at a staggering +22 points. This includes white voters, rural white voters, black voters, protestants, and moms. Subscribe to support our journalism.

And the companion to my Israeli Tzefa cobra, the 2nd part of my Den of Vipers side by side build, Kitty Hawk's AH-1Z Viper Self designed folded rotor blades and FOD covers Decals from Flying Leathernecks #ScaleModel #scalemodels #histscalemodels #usmc

Finished off the Special Hobby 1/48 Tzefa, I had a lot of fun, and it was nice to take a break from the grey's. #scalemodel #scalemodels #ah-1 #cobra #histscalemodels

Useless, weak, pathetic centrist Democrats: People are persuadable. Public opinion can shift. In one week, a small majority has now turned against ICE. Imagine if you actually messaged accordingly, led by example, and stood up for justice? That number would shoot to 60% by the end of next week.

The jobs report is in. What a disaster.

Make it viral.

Historically, we've focused a lot on the brutal actions of authoritarian regimes, and today is no different.

My Special Hobby AH-1 Tzefa has made its first major trip into the paint booth, its turned out quite well. I changed up my post-shading for the fuselage, which I did after the stub wings, so those will need some touch up work. #scalemodels #histscalemodels #scalemodel

Happy 2026, nothing ever happens bros.🫠

FULL OF SOUP

So, naval blockades of nearby rich but militarily weak countries by local hegemonic powers are very cool and very legal now, are they?

This was recently posted through China's government, this may give you a warm fuzzy feeling. "Currently, the Russian economy is in a difficult situation: GDP is even inferior to that of a single Chinese provincial region, and inflation is rapidly increasing. The war in Ukraine has been going on

It's always the most obsessed anti trans people who get caught with CSAM.

Needs a few touch ups and a final wash but the Skyraider is otherwise finished.

The way this is being reported is extremely irresponsible. There is a hole in the containment structure, about 10 feet across. No other damage is reported. That hole can allow some of the dusty radioactive material to escape. That is what "can no longer do its job of containment" means.

I finally finished off the Kitty Hawk/Zimi Models UH-1Y Venom in 1/48th. May the Huey fly forever. #scalemodel #scalemodels #histscalemodels #helicopter #usmc

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history. Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading. From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

Almost finished, just the main rotors left. #scalemodel #scalemodels #usmc #helicopter #histscalemodels #wip #hobby #kittyhawk #uh-1 #huey

Side by side, before and after, shows how Melissa’s Cat 5 winds stripped and mowed down trees, turning lush green vegetation to brown. Only the strongest storms can strip trees bare. #jamaica #melissa

I don’t get all the fuss about Trumps ‘Golden Fleet’, the U.S. Navy already has lots of golden ships:

As you know I paint freehands on cloaks of my miniatures from time to time, and I started doing that many years ago. This is for example a freehand that I painted on the cloak of Torquemada Coteaz back in 2015 so quite a while ago 🙂 #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #acrylicpainting

Kitty Hawk's 1/48 UH-1Y Venom I finally got the decals on and a pass of Flory Dark Dirt Wash to kick off the final weathering push. #scalemodels #scalemodelling #plasticmodels #histscalemodels #kittyhawk #wip

1. 4 months ago, The Supreme Court gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education in schools. Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in. Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Scenario. U.S. war of choice in Venezuela gets bogged down, strikes become limited invasion, become forever counter insurgency war…. U.S. less able to come to Taiwan’s aid (which is questionable anyway)… China wins big How many people in USA care about Venezuela?!?!

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist. No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men. The silence is deafening. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Same Hulk. Same.

Nextar has now also folded and will start airing Kimmel again. Remember this next time they tell you we are powerless in the face of rising fascism. Companies capitulating to Trump need to feel heat. Keep it going. apnews.com/article/jimm...

And that concludes the gate of Zalissya Project! ☢️ Was a real fun build, although the base end up being even more fun than the mini 😜 (And I originally just wanted to build another swamp, good thing I didn't!) #miniatures #scalemodels #stalker

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth. Many complied and shut down their programs. Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care. And now, they just beat Trump in court. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Closed up and painted Kitty Hawks UH-1Y Venom, also started a hangar deck base. I only had one small issue closing it all up getting the nose sub-section to sit evenly with the fuselage and clear part. #scalemodel #histscalemodel #modelkit #scalemodels #kittyhawk #trumpeter #48thscale
