Progress made on K-2SO. I bought a fancy circle cutter and I’m impressed. I was able to cut a .75mm thick circle and mask off K’s steel collar. A decal is provided for that collar, but I wanted to make things hard on myself. More build pics below

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

NEW: The government tells Americans to use VPNs to protect their privacy. The government also automatically presumes communications of unknown origin are foreign. Foreign communications don't require a warrant to wiretap. Lawmakers who've done the math want answers. My latest @wired.com:

If you see this, quote with a picture of you in glasses. (Y’know…if you wanna)

Read these words in a book about the Battle of the Bulge a few nights ago. They feel relevant.

Taters: You're like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair.

This is so well done. 👌

Easter!

Experimentation day in the kitchen. I had pasta shells and black beans. So I tried stuffed shells but Mexican inspired. Black beans, roasted sweet potato, corn, onion. Chipotle tomato sauce. Pepper jack and Monterey Jack cheese.

UC Irvine criminologist Charis E. Kubrin keeps proving that immigration doesn’t increase crime. Why hasn’t her message broken through?

We cannot give this FCC more power than it has. Broadcasters, journalists, and the public should recognize these empty threats for what they are and fight to defend the First Amendment against any attempt to control or intimidate the press. 🧵

There are 175,000 voting precincts in this country. I want people to think about that when you listen to influencers claiming this election can be stolen. Upcoming: a special ResistanceLive show soon where I'll be interviewing an elections and campaign finance lawyer on how you're being misled.

And it’s done! I can not quite believe it yet, it has been so long since I actually finished something 😂 Subconscious I recreated the toilet box art, I originally fell in love with… Anyways enjoy this completely nonsensical happy scene! 😁 #histscalemodels

Hate to do this, but hubby and I have been hit with some incredibly crap news to start 2026 and may shortly be faced with a ton of and upheaval and unexpected expense. Please consider buying a mug or supporting my website if it's ever been any help to you. It all makes a difference. Thank you.

Stormtrooper construction complete. Now I have to figure out how to kill him.

The next build begins. #histscalemodels

So I decided to go to and compete in my very first model show. I entered three dioramas, a motorcycle, and a sci-fi build. I WON THREE GOLD MEDALS!!

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

These pieces of shit... They will NEVER understand or admit that trans people really exist. They believe these people just decide one day to playact as a woman or man, and in this case to get a competitive edge. I am incensed.

For the past eight years, students at a high school in Virginia have been reviving timeworn vehicles and giving them to single mothers for free. “The whole class is very rewarding,” a student said. “It’s good knowledge.” https://wapo.st/3LIknTh

Diorama inspired by this newspaper photo. I wanted to build a Panzer IV but show it captured or destroyed. This one is now on display to help sell bonds. Tamiya tank, I Love Kit tank transport, Tamiya, Miniart & Masterbox details & figures Here's the final result. This is a thread. #histscalemodels

The foil from a yogurt container, thin lead wire, and my sandwich boards have hinges. The diorama is now in its final stage. Things get glued down to the base today. #histscalemodels

What’s war bond drive without signage? Working on sandwich boards and a sign to hang off the captured Panzer IV. #histscalemodels

Ok, now that figure painting is over I’m working on the tie-downs for the captured Panzer IV. Scale chain paired with 3D-printed hooks and turnbuckles make for some relatively reasonable rigging. #histscalemodels

The cast of characters for the bond drive diorama are complete. #histscalemodels

Soon I will be done with this project and can tidy the bench. But it is not this day. These characters soon get a matte coat and they’re done. #histscalemodels

The military pitchmen are getting close to done #histscalemodels

Just a couple more civilians and that chunk of figure painting is done. Then i tackle the officers and tankers. #histscalemodels

Figure painting has started. #histscalemodels

The diorama base is finally, after months of 15-20 minute blocks of work, done. Street and sidewalk look decent, I think. Now I can start putting down the benches, light posts, fences… #histscalemodels

Request from a coworker: These signs are 11”x7”. I need them printed at 6”x6”. Maybe you should have designed them at 6x6. But what do I know? I’m just a designer.

I’m thankful for many of you on here. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Grok also said Elon is a better athlete than LeBron James. Maybe Grok, like all LLMs, doesn't know what the fuck it's talking about and shouldn't be relied on to accurately judge fact or fiction. Even when the results might be correct (and it tells us what we want to hear).

Caught this walking to my car after work

Took these in September and forgot all about them

Set the clock for 6:06

Got the street lamps, clock, and park benches working. #histscalemodels

Trying to get the mojo back.
