I THINK I figured it out. I’ve had problems with looser wovens pulling through the seams. Particularly when sewing two pieces together that need their seam allowance trimmed and turned. It “seems” shortening the stitch length considerably and going over it twice may solve it. Any pointers?

Must get higher table. Back no feel good.

I’m gonna vote for whoever doesn’t fucking text me

We are only a few steps away from a high-ranking administration official, possibly even the President, sharing Chud The Builder content. It’s actually more surprising that they haven’t yet.

There’s only one way the American financial markets make any sense, and it forces me to believe when we leave this corrupt moment, we will have a disastrous reckoning to climb out of.

Me “Holy shit when did my favorite jeans get so expensive?!? Fuck that I’m gonna a learn to make my fucking own.” Thousands of hours and thousands of dollars later I have two pairs of perfect jeans.

Jane Fonda’s ex husband has died.

One of my closest friends, Julie Ling, who would be your closest friend if you knew her, has entered an art contest that yall can totally vote in! I just cast my vote and it’s super easy. (There’s a free one person one vote option) Smash a vote for Julie! peoplesartist.org/2026/julie-l...

There is a running trend of mine for having the most ridiculous drivers license photos the person running the camera at the DMV will let me take. Renewing while playing a sociopath might be a step too far.

Off the Wall is so fucking good you almost forget about the kids. Almost.

The same day SCOTUS argues, in a super majority, it’s now time to sunset the voting rights act for southern congressional districts, the white constituents of that same region morns the death of David Allen Coe. What a time to be alive.

New Failure album is out!!!

This is the norm in a post truth world. And I hate the new norm.

What happened tonight is the direct result of a complete collapse of leadership from the top down.

This is not wrong.

Dogshit like this lets our neighbors and family off the hook for creating this mess, and lets us off the hook for not doing more to stop it when we could. Personally I think we ALL own this and need to find where we are responsible for it cause it’s gonna keep happening till we do.

New machine ROCKS!! I won’t have my buttonholer running till I get back to Georgia, so it’s still handstiched world for me, but I LOVE sewing on the HD9.

It’s not 8am but I’ve already learned one of the things today will teach me. I tried to call the cunt bigots on Twitter Cretans, but it kept forcing capitalizing, so I looked the word up. THEN I changed the spelling to cretin and looked THAT up. Ummmmm, neither of those are in any way acceptable.

If you search the term “Shreveport” on formerly known as Twitter, the algorithm exposes a society not dissimilar to the creatures who dwell under a fallen log in the woods. Except these Neanderthals refuse to scatter and instead throw their flags of filth above their tiny-brained heads with pride.

There’s a sizable Iranian immigrant community here in Toronto, both first-generation and expats. I’ve spoken to enough of them to gather that among those who escaped the regime, they’re glad someone is doing something. They all just don’t trust who’s carrying it out.

In the wise words of Stewart Smalley “I good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggon it, people like me. I deserve good things and I’m entitled to happiness.”

Those are my great grandmas pearl earrings BTW deadline.com/2026/04/etha...

Not good guys. Not looking good. A blockade of the strait by the US Navy means China is cut off from its main source of energy. It’s hard for me to grasp how any gains here warrant the extreme volatility.

Fucking hell. The talks between the US and Iran looks to have failed.

I understand her point here, and I am in no way educated enough on the ramifications of information like this on victims. But there’s a hiccup in this for me when we are talking about a civil servant. Someone who represents the people. We as a population are also to be considered. He represents us.

So when you’re one of the 430 +/- most powerful people in the country, being a philandering heavy drinker (no one can diagnose but themselves) with rumored far more serious accusations, that’s an acceptable norm to the ruling class? As long as you don’t aim for the top 50 seats, they’ll support you?

I'm sorry, but this woman posting photos of her dog at a religious event in Spain and then having to frantically clarify a few days later at their "supersausage_charlie" Instagram account is something out of a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

Here’s the gas prices at my local Costco, for posterity. I paid 3.79 for regular there last Thursday.

Why bring up Epstein now? No one was talking about it. NO ONE. What are we missing…

Old enough to remember a prevailing conversation of the fossil fuel bell curve, titled Hubbert’s Peak. Yes, his predictions were flawed with the exclusion of technological advancements in resource exploitation. But the overall theory must have standing at least in practice, right?

Being very skeptical of the ceasefire and ten-point deal the admin TACO’ed to, it looks like the popular outlook based on the global oil and gas market. Per barrel spikes overnight. Per gallon at the pump continues its upward creep.

Oh shit. What’s with Today, Today?

My cousin lost his young life to mental illness and his beautiful mother and father built a local charity in northern Alabama to bring mental health care services to young men and woman in the region. Follow this link and cast a vote for Maximizing Mental Health www.facebook.com/share/p/1B2k...

BRICS is reporting that both sides have rejected the peace plan currently on the table.

It sure looks like it started. There was a question if the “Tuesday afternoon” deadline was on eastern time or local Tehran, and because none of our broken media asked that simple question, we had to wait for the bombs to answer it. Local Tehran time apparently.

They don’t want to. If they wanted him gone he would be. We’ve gotten rid of others for less. Sacking him does nothing to change our predicament. I’m not saying there aren’t people in our government who disapprove of what’s happening, but not a single one is in a leadership position of either party.

Yes it bothers me greatly that our president is continually threatening Iran over the weekend. It disturbs me that a considerable portion of our population is cheering him on, and that our main media platforms are playing prime time documentaries about sports and tech figures.

Western media is failing the population. It is Saturday night, we are in the riskiest conflict in 80 years, against a higher matched foe than the modern American military has seen, and CNN is airing a Steve Jobs documentary.

I’ll be living away from my sewing factory this summer. I KNOW I KNOW FUCKING DAY JOBS. Trying to control the urge to get a Sailrite zigzag walking foot. They are a light heavy duty portable machine that don’t require an external motor and industrial table.. Or a super mean straight stitcher..

Whoa. What a weirdo. Hey Mark, your crew dropped the ball so lemme throw ya an after the fact bone- XYZ buddy. (Your fly is down)

i think eddie murphy's "white like me" sketch is arguably the funniest comedy bit in history. it all still holds up. youtu.be/l_LeJfn_qW0

An athlete with 2 norco’s doesn’t scream opiate addiction to me. It’s safe to assume the main substance responsible for their inebriation was in liquid form. Focusing on a prescribed substance like the media does, minimizes the dangers of alcohol, specially when mixed with driving.

These are the top military brass forced into resignation by Hegseth, add to it the top Army brass forced out today for no given reason. It can be assumed that the knowledge is spread down the line deep, be this is a shit ton of military intellect forced out by a weekend morning news personality.

Curb the celebration, the replacements are always worse. She was fired because she hasn’t put a single person who tried to hold him accountable to his crimes in prison. Maybe she’ll grow a spine and tell us what she saw in the Epstein files.

Sunny and I sent our grandson and his mom and dad a house warming present of meticulously hunted mid80s hifi vinyl system. Pioneer SXV80 receiver Hitachi HT-67 table And then a custom rebox of some mid 80s JBL floor three ways. After about one million calls, it’s ALL SETUP!! They’re STOKED

That was clearly escalatory, expect the markets to believe that, expect the oil price to reflect that.

Two to three weeks is how long we’ve been waiting for things promised 11 years ago.

Fucking hell
