Well I'm calling this one done, the italeri 1:72 Short Sunderland MKIII. Having done a bit of research I modelled mine on one of the subject images, it will be in the photo call. Kit went together really well...the antenna...another matter. Enjoy #HeaviesGB #histscalemodels #scalemodels

then overnight this happened

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

To me the worst thing about the Epstein scandal is that there are many FBI and DOJ agents and lawyers who know, they know details about these crimes— they have read documents, seen evidence, they know it’s being covered up, and yet they say nothing!

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

You FUCKIN POS LUNATIC 🤬🖕🏻

Tip:

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

I haven't forgotten about this.

This is fascism.

This administration has initiated the largest assault on free speech in modern history. I just motioned to subpoena FCC Director Brendan Carr to stop the intimidation of private businesses and assault on free speech. Congress must wake up from our slumber, assert our power and do our job.

🚨 The LAPD refuses to respond to a MVA with a motorcyclist in grave condition because they are guarding peaceful protesters. Said protesters did the LAPD’s job. SHAME LAPD SHAME @losangelespress.bsky.social

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment. Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

In 50 years, it will be common place that multiple people die because the electricity went out. I imagine 6-12 people stuck in a dark room with exits, unable to "think" without power, therefore, unable to escape, a dark room.....with exits. Look what reality TV did to the U.S.

This cannot and will not silence us. We must all speak up.

Pretty sure the board members of the big three legacy networks & Fox don't want the Epstein files released either, for very personal reasons.

No elected official is above our constitutional rights. The Constitution brought America’s states together into a unified whole that derives its power from the people. We must call out any action that undermines the principles our founders fought for and protect our democracy.

9/16/25😢hours after Fox talked about euthanizing homeless-NOT a coincidence(We are ONLY as strong as our weakest)🇺🇸🙏 abcnews.go.com/US/people-hu...

👀

Who will be the 218 signatory? This is about trust in our government to serve us. 90% feel we have a rigged system, protecting the powerful, & politicians cannot be trusted. We must prove that the powerful will be held to account. That we can wage this battle across party lines.

Buttigieg: "We are not getting the leadership we need to bring this country together from the White House ... in order to deprive political violence of its power, we have to reject anyone who would try to exploit political violence. The response to this cannot be for the government to crack down."

Apparently, the only thing that Americans agree upon is: Release the Epstein Files.

abject ignorance will always be the dead-end evolutionary destination of the incurious

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

An Iowa official defied the governor’s orders to fly flags at half-staff for Charlie Kirk, writing he wouldn't honor a man who "did so much harm"

The chair of Iowa’s Johnson County Board of Supervisors is saying no to Gov. Kim Reynolds' order that flags on public grounds be lowered to half-staff in honor of assassinated conservative figure Charlie Kirk.

This you? Just two hours later?

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

I love this kind if thinking. Pretzel Logic Missiles.

Thank you, Mr. Robinson, for bringing in your son.

In summary: The hateful Charlie Kirk was shot by the acolyte of a more hateful version of Charlie Kirk. It wasn’t any of the imaginary bogeymen they were hoping for. Just a case of them slowly drowning in their own hate.

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

Dowd spoke the truth and nothing else.

What are the odds it was a hiker who just finished the trail, either partial or full? What are the odds the same hiker is busy deleting every post by accounts of their journey from the internet?

NEW: Missouri voters filed a lawsuit Friday that challenges the GOP’s new congressional map, calling it an unconstitutional gerrymander that dismantles Kansas City’s Black Democratic representation and rigs the 2026 elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🧵 The second national No Kings day is gearing up around the USA!!!! October 18 is when WE THE PEOPLE remind everyone that we have no kings in the US. We do not bow to a wannabe dictator or his billionaire friends.

I know these “interviews” with Justice Barrett are carefully scripted. But if she’s going to keeping urging Americans to “read the opinions,” and not just commentary, it sure would be nice if someone would ask her what we should do when—as is so often the case these days—there’s no opinion to read…

It's beyond criminal to have let gun violence get this far.
