Ahh, I see. Those look pretty sharp. Are they basically 2D profiles, or are there functional 3D features. If the former, getting them cut out of plate or sheet stock will be cheaper than printing them in metal.

What's it for?

Didn't renew my Amazon Prime membership for the first time in 13 years after actually thinking about whether it was worth it to me.

Please don’t send me that AI slop I do not want to see it. I will not engage with it. I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, I just don't want you to waste your time. I acknowledge that it's a nice gesture that you saw something that made you think, "I should share this with Jimbo, he'll get a kick out of it." But I assure you that I won't.

I listened to Demon Days in its entirety for the first time in a million years at least partly because I liked the pictures on these.

Were the bad guys in the past also so dumb and fragile or are we just particularly lucky?

Thailand toilet signs are a whole thing.

A lot of people with poor reading comprehension in the replies assuming that this happened to a Trump supporter, something that is not at all stated in the article.

Thankee, Sai.

Overall one of the least bad King universes to end up in.

Drone shot of protestors at the start of the No Kings rally.

I had modest expectations for the No Kings rally in Lowell today and was pleasantly surprised with both the turnout and the feeling of community.

Just finished a reread of the Cantos and it hits a little different than when I first read it a decade ago.

I've been trying to teach people I know about kayfabe and why it matters for a couple years now. This video does a much better job than me.

And there was no personal risk to protesting at the time. Which can't be said now.

Lmao "there are approximately 200 books for children about Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the libraries of the MVLC... but there is not one about Clarence Thomas in any MVLC library."

No kid wants a book about any Supreme Court Justices. This is the free market, not censorship.

And he was the pro-monarchy guy. Even he understood the difference.

Hamilton "And let me observe that an executive is less dangerous to the liberties of the people when in office during life than for seven years. It may be said this constitutes as an elective monarchy... But by making the executive subject to impeachment, the term 'monarchy' cannot apply..."

Is that really what his head looks like or is it just a bit?

+1 on Inoreader. It is 90% of what I want, but man I miss old school Netvibes and Google Reader sometimes.

"The Jack" by AC/DC

Is that a real game asset?

How long before the Tesla bailout?

Do it

That must be so hard for them.

I love local reporting that gets the nuance right.
