I heard someone on a podcast say that music is boring now and, look, I am saying this as kindly as I can…skill issue.

If we don't want to repeat history, we'd better be strong enough to learn from it.

The authoritarian playbook starts with pointing to a group of people who don’t look like you and blaming them for your problems.

An unpainted grey miniature of a strawberry knight, but the arms are missing.

I managed to get a mini printed! 90% of the reason I wanted to get a 3D printer in the first place was for D&D minis, and it’s nice to finally see a promising result. Even if the arms didn’t quite make it…

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution.

An official-looking letter on U.S. Department of Justice letterhead, dated February 17, 2025, addressed to Rep. Robert Garcia from Edward R. Martin, Jr., United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. The letter requests clarification regarding Garcia’s comments made during a CNN interview on February 12, 2025, where he allegedly stated that "the American public wants us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight" in reference to stopping Elon Musk. The letter suggests this could be interpreted as a threat against Musk, an appointed representative of President Donald Trump. Martin emphasizes the seriousness of threats against public officials and requests a response by February 24, 2025, offering to meet in person if necessary. The letter is signed by Edward R. Martin, Jr.

A sitting congressman calling Elon Musk a dick is now considered a threat by the DOJ and are now starting a criminal investigation. This is the death of free speech in the United States.
