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).

Good news (Amazing News?) Print Shop is a GO! A *Most* Excellent Soul sent me an invite code and now here i am…an artist on INPRNT. (And i’m so grateful) I have to edit color profiles and such on a lot of my work, so not much is there but that will change. www.inprnt.com/profile/sara...

1. Russia has a slightly bigger stockpile than the U.S. 2. No one has tested nukes aboveground since 1980. 3. Since 1998 only N. Korea has tested nukes (underground). 4. Obama launched the renovation of the U.S. stockpile. It's not complete; timeline stretches into the 2040s ($ is headed for $2T).

I love Rebecca DOWN. Known as Dollar Tree Dinners. Her “Meal in a Bag” is meant to provide ppl with a complete meal that is $8 or less, is shelf stable, & can be made without access to a full kitchen. I love this as a direct aid option. Good for neighbors & elders who can’t/wont go to a pantry.

Took a look at the entry they have for me in Elon's Grokipedia. There are some surprisingly deep details, dredged up from interviews I'd long ago forgotten about, and then there are some incredibly big points that are completely wrong. Let's roll the tape.

Trump hires the dumbest fucking attorneys. I take some comfort in that.

Diorama base finally has a bar coat of paint. Pavement and sidewalk. This has been a shit fight from the get go and it is now my arch enemy. I’ll finish the diorama but this is not up to my standard.

For the first time in more than 100 years, Chinook salmon have been spotted at the confluence of the Sprague and Williamson rivers in Chiloquin, the government seat of the Klamath Tribes in Southern Oregon.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

So I just finished the last of my two cups of coffee. The last sip brought something solid into my mouth. Apparently there was a dead fly stuck to the bottom the entire time, who became unstuck sometime during the morning.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think proving RFK jr and the Trump admin acted with actual malice in a defamation case would be hard. They're a bunch of fucking morons who get high off their own farts. They could believe what they're saying is true.
