Has anyone else noticed that semi-trailers have almost the exact same dimensions -scaled- as a box of 120 photo film? Just me? Ok.

Good morning. I went to church today for the first time in a couple of months. I was sad that the name of Charlie Kirk was not mentioned a single time. Other tragedies were mentioned. But at this particular Catholic church, nothing about Charlie.

What were they afraid of?

My church didn't mention Charlie Kirk or even "pray for our country". They did ask me for more money. I'm devastated.

Church was packed this morning. The pastor delivered a canned sermon that could have been written last year. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

Online trads going to church for the first time and finding out it's not an IRL version of their personal Based internet club always cracks me up

The right wing will attempt to address this issue by funneling immigrants, prisoners, snd/ or other oppressed groups into forced labor. Watch

Wow, has it been two years already?

I’m still building the boat. Took a bit of time off to have a kidlet though. Hence the relative lack of progress…

@chadgayle.bsky.social per your article, I asked Nippon Photo if they could fix the sticky shutter on my Pearl III and was told they don’t service those anymore. Any idea where else one might look to get a CLA and rangefinder adjustment?

The White House cited these economists to justify its tariffs. They aren't thrilled. The Trump administration's formula for calculating new tariffs raised questions among economists β€” even some whose work was cited.

LOL you don’t say?

Alas, this pretty much describes me, at least on this account. Most of my creative stuff is on a separate one, which I like to keep free of political content.

It's not really a reciprocal tariff, more like a reciprocating saw

Yet more evidence that yes, they really are that stupid:

Trump's "Tariff" Numbers Are Just Trade
