A bit more work on the switcher while I figure out how I want to arrange the wiring harness. Engine pickups will be the only pickups on the model so hopefully thatll be enough. And I added the tender hatch so the tender is ready for paint.

#modelrailroading I got some painting done on Green Pastures Dairy today. This dairy processing plant is named after my grandfather's short lived dairy business he had in the late 30's/40's.

My oath didn't/ won't,expire until the day I'm buried.What passes for patriotism now is a twisting of what it means to be an American.It's not the flag,or the pledge.It isn't the bible, or any gospel,it's service to an ideal that all men are created equal. It's veterans day,stand tall my brothers.

“Our oaths did not expire simply because we took off the uniform.” Former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh shares a powerful Veterans Day message about service, sacrifice, and what real patriotism means — inspired by Marine Master Sgt. Mike “Top” Washington.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around people who don't understand income inequality. They're living paycheck to paycheck while defending billionaires. They must enjoy making shit wages and think if they kiss enough ultra rich ass some of those riches might trickle down to them.

#GVerse 😱👀

@schumer.senate.gov you forgot just who you work for. You work for us, mot corporations and mot the Republicans. You are a disgrace to the party. Step down now,WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND IT!

Ok, I'm fucking over this shit. Not one friggin person in Congress knows just who the fuck is in charge, and apparently not one of you knows either. We should be DEMANDING those Democrats who voted and caved to step down NOW. They fucking work for us, and it's way past time to remind them of that.

This is art. youtube.com/shorts/8XkTq...

Dogs to feed, kitchen to clean then maybe,

We need a few million people who want to start a 3rd party. This 2 party system isn't working anymore.

"My health insurance is paid for by the company I work for, so I'm covered." Well, about that. Yes, your company pays the premiums, but did you know that that money could be in your paycheck instead? Yes, you're still paying for it.Universal health care for all would put money back in your pocket.

"I'm a capitalist"and"We're the richest country on the planet!" Are both wrong.You're only a capitalist if you have actual capital in the game,otherwise you're just a cognitive in the capitalist gearbox being ground down for fertilizer. As far as richest country,check your bank account.No we're not

As we used to say in the Navy, he talks more shit than a bag full of assholes.

Understand this MAGA. You will NOT be erased from this country's history. No. Instead you and your "movement" will be held up as the failure it is. Just like nazis, you will become the butt of jokes, and be ridiculed whenever a red hat is seen on your head. We will teach of your failures in school.

Love this!

#modelrailroading Taking care of some of the almost finished buildings. I still need a few details, but I'm always going to need more of that.

Let’s talk about some misheard lyrics…

There's no hate like christian love

#GVerse Repeal Nixon's HMO Act of 1973 which made healthcare "For-Profit." Obama didn't destroy healthcare. Democrats didn't destroy healthcare. Republicans Did & they have the power to get rid of Managed Healthcare - but they won't because they are getting paid off not to.

To a hammer everything is a nail. After the hammer finishes nailing POC they will look for more nails. And they're not going to care what color those nails are...

Ya know, this shit is only going to continue to go downhill until WE decide to end it. Nobody is coming to save us. The courts can only do so much, so pick a line you refuse to cross and start moving.

My lovely wife found this, so I had to share. youtu.be/cSwHobtSijA?...

One thing I think this administration has taught us. WE THE PEOPLE need to start paying attention to how OUR REPRESENTATIVES represent us. We're seeing what happens when the population is apathetic, and it ain't good. If we don't learn from this mistake, can we say we're fighting for democracy?

Could someone point me to which book, chapter, and verse in the bible where Jesus says only treat strangers who came to your land that came here the "right way" should be fed, clothed and healed. I can't seem to find that part.

Last evening I had someone compare my writing style to @stephenking.bsky.social. I don't know if I should be honored or horrified. I am not a horror writer by any stretch of the imagination.

GENTLE REMINDER....

So your SNAP benefits are gone. You were soon worried that someone that wasn't here "the right way" was getting something they weren't entitled to so you voted for the orange shitgibbon. Now he's gone to the Supreme Court to make sure you don't get those benefits that you were counting on. Self own

Turn up the sound and enjoy the show.

So he wants to do away with people sending money to pay for health insurance by sending people money to buy... health insurance.

Yup

Working on ground cover for the ranch diorama for my layout. #modelrailroading

He has absolutely no friggin idea how insurance works at all. How the hell did someone this fucking stupid become president? Hey DonOld, how about connecting the dots and give us universal health care? Dumbass.

Distillation

If you own a home,clothes,car, etc that costs more(combined) than most of the population of this country will ever make in a lifetime. Don't be lecturing ANYONE about cutting costs, tighten the belt,or any other dumbass thing that falls out of your rich pie hole.

Couple of points I'd like to make. Some people are in this mindset that working poor shouldn't have any luxury items. You're a moron. People need a reliable vehicle to get to work, and reliable vehicles aren't cheap. Kids having cell phones. In this day and age, those are necessities so kids can 🧵

We are most definitely NOT temporary embarrassed millionaires. We need to stop thinking that way. You have a better chance of being homeless than you do a millionaire.

Either we ALL have rights, or nobody does. There is no picking and choosing who gets rights, it doesn't work that way. Otherwise you will find YOUR rights are on the chopping block. Then what?

Gabriele Corno Birches on the misty lake

So he's a Muslim. You claim to be a christian, yet you have no desire to follow any of the teachings of Jesus. Which is worse?

If one of your neighbors told you that in order to buy groceries and gas you needed an ID, you would laugh in their face and never let them anywhere near you again. But when demented Don says it, millions of people, people who actually buy gas and groceries, believe it. The dumbest of times

Those in their 60's,70's,80's need to bow out of politics.There are people those ages in DC who govern like they're going to live forever.It's time to step aside and let the younger generation step up.We should be enjoying our retirement, not trying to hold onto power in a world that passed us by.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but this is familiar. Maybe a crate marked ACME would jog my memory.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. My time is valuable, if you're trying to sell me a service (in this case fiber optic internet) give me, the customer an actual time you intend to show up. Send texts with 2 separate time frames on it doesn't make me want to deal with you.

I'm going to say this for the MAGA racist asshats out there who don't like POC,DEI,or any of the many things that make this country great. You don't like it?You're free to pack your shit and leave any time. You want a dictator?I hear North Korea is nice, Russia if you like to be on the battleline.

We have a big problem in this country that should not be overlooked. Once Republicans are out of office, let's not stop to rest. We need to be demanding universal health care, free higher education and daycare. We need to revise our policy on homelessness and hunger. America can be great if we push.

Also, Democrats, read the fucking room too! You decide to give in to republican demands and we will boot your ass right out.

To Republicans in the House, Senate and Supreme Court. Read the fucking room today!
