Trump is a piece of shit and his supporters like him because they are pieces of shit.

Our little foster-monster Sammy is a really chill guy. Here he’s hanging out with big-sis Daisy in the workshop. He’s “limited-mobility” because of a raft of issues but he’s a super-happy-hoppy-snuggly little guy. Looking for a forever home soon.

GM fellow #Sinners! Happy #Sinday! Tax the churches!

holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Spicy MN Gov! 😆 COURIER has compiled the 20,000 documents from Epstein's estate, released by the US House Oversight Committee on November 12, 2025, into an easily searchable repository. Find something interesting? Let us know: [email protected] journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

petro is so beast

thinking about how i get anxious writing emails because i don't want to sound like a moron while larry summers is apparently typing emails like this: u kno she dint want to talk tomorrow. make me bad pheel.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Wrapping up this day in the shop on an OH MY GAWD note….. A gorgeous piece of SanMai consisting of Vintage Wrought Iron clad with 26c3 carbon steel. Here getting a little test-etch before I begin stone-polishing the kiriba Alma Knife Co 🍽️ 🧶 🔪🔪🔪 #culinarysky

Mise’ madness in the shop this week as I experiment with some alternative dimensions off of my standard (center w/handle) Nakiri template. Some a bit longer, some deeper, some both and full-tang? Which one piques your interest? 🍽️ 🧶 🔪🔪🔪 #culinarysky

Let me be clear. If you voted for this, do not wish us a “Happy Veterans Day”

Every day, I understand this phrase on an even deeper level.

Dude hasn’t been sworn in as Mayor yet.

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

i'm very glad this technology is being forced onto us everywhere on all levels

They spent so much time asking if they could, that they forgot to ask if they should. 🍽️

HAPPENING NOW: Immigrant workers calling on Dodgers to refuse invitation to White House #iceoutofLA

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

Translation: 7 dickheads from Staten Island……

Hey Dodgers fans, fuck off.

Seen at a bar in New Orleans last night by my (Philly) nephew. I hope he bought this dude a drink. #Phillies #Pirates #P00P

JOKER in NOLA

Absolutely overjoyed this weekend to be joining the beautiful people of NOCHI (New Orleans Culinary & Hospitality Institute) Awarding an Alma Knife Co hand-forged Gyuto to one exceptional student in this semester’s cohort. Alma Knife Co

I know this isn't the healthiest but when I saw this I had to get it in honor of my mom and our Milwaukee roots Can you tell why? lol

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish. The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

Daisy & Sammy chillin in the workshop. Sammy is our little, limited-mobility foster-monster and he’s almost ready to start looking for a forever home. He’s great with other dogs, chill in the kitchen or a workshop and a top-notch snugglebug.

Then what happened…..

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Someone in the crowd: “Go Cubs!” Pope Leo XIV: “Han perdido! They lost!”

It super bums me out that people like Tolbert are no longer on KNBR but somehow Krueger has been re-normalized.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

It’s wild watching the mental gymnastics people engage in to try to define the two primary NAZI resistance elements as “the bad guys”

100%

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

Let’s not get too excited about the Nobel thing. They just gave it to a different white supremacist.
