Watching the local hobby shops here diversify out of trains and into scale models, Warhammer and RC cars kind of tells me something about the train hobby as a whole. It's struggling

Bombing doesn’t bring democracy. Troops on the ground can’t impose democracy. Long term occupation doesn’t make democracy. The people have to want to change - a hard lesson from history.

I've always thought of English civil war as the revolution of the elites, I guess that seems to be a close match to the world today. albeit the elites aren't parliamentarians anymore, the elites just own them.

I've never had a stash until now, I would usually just buy something and build it. maybe with a kit or 2 that I could start once I finished something that I got second hand for cheap etc. but recently I have built up to 8 kits in the stash and I feel a bit weird about it. all modern kits though

Us navy is struggling to keep ships seaworthy right now with lack of maintenance facilities. If they were to waste a dock by forcing on of their hospital ships too Greenland.... Huge own goal

Best thing about bluesky over the other is the fact you can curate it rather than have it feed you all the worst stuff by design

I do think its handy. figure sculpting is hard for the average modeler so having options for good figures that are in interesting situations that don't involve german pointing etc is good.

Bannon's connection to Epstein is a odd one, like a marriage of convienence. the video footage of the interview was interesting, but Bannon, Theil, Epstein and the rest all wanted to achieve the same goals. destroy the last vestiges of democracy

Not always the case. Dirt could accumulate on older aircraft as the pressure and temp changes wore the paint and slowly warped
the panels

3 panel comic

Panel 1:
A Pink Guy has spray painted the words β€œAll billionaires are scum” on a blue wall. Pleased with his work, he looks at the reader and gives a thumbs up.

Panel 2: 
An Orange Guy comes into shot and snatches the can of spray paint out of the Pink Guy’s hand. He looks angry and yells β€œHey!”

Panel 3:
The Orange Guy has changed the message so it now reads β€œAll billionaires are scumbag pedophiles.
Both the Pink Guy and the Orange Guy give the reader a thumbs up.
