America's #1 Popeyes Enjoyer

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

If you put an arm strap and handle on it it'd be a mighty shield for a little fella right now! The figure in the cherry really is lovely, though of course it won't pop until it gets finished

Just off a call w Jeffrey Tumlin, who was the Director of Transportation of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency 2019-2024... when robotaxis came to town.

He says Oregon is at risk of copying CA's failure by letting Waymo come in w/o local regulations.

HB 4085 is really bad folks!!

A thin sheet of cherry, in the arc of the mdf mold, with five spruce horizontal braces roughly evenly spaced along it's length. The end braces are kinda rough; the middle three are shaped into a peak along their length. The middle three also have masking tape on either side of the brace.

Here's why I built the mold. This is one of two cylinder arched backs for the octave mandolins I'm building braced up. (The wood is cherry with some nice curl in the figure)

I thought about why I’ve been pushing back on stolen midterm fears. What’s the harm of worry, even if it doesn’t materialize?

It’s this. The regime has less capacity than it’d like, and tries to make up the difference with bluster. If people act as if it’s true, that grants the regime more power.

If left labor hadn’t kept the Portland Police Association out of the labor council, NOLC would likely be supporting PPA’s raid on the Portland Clean Energy Fund now instead of the police being supported by just some huge developers & capitalists.

These institutional battles have huge consequences.

An incredible win for U.S. mixed doubles curling in the semifinals. Look at this back-and-forth box score.

They'll be in the gold medal match, guaranteed at least a silver.

English speakers like "that was less political than I thought" lol they had ricky martin singing "dont do us like you did hawaii"

The Elemental Pleasures of Johnny Guitar - Bright Wall/Dark Room 'Johnny Guitar' is so rigorously, comprehensively excessive, its excesses eclipse any baseline against which excess is typically judged.

“Nicholas Ray's JOHNNY GUITAR is so rigorously, comprehensively excessive, its excesses eclipse any baseline against which excess is typically judged.”

Dropkin's shot to knock all 3 stones out with sound and replays

Incredible shot

I'll be impressed if they can shoot this poorly for an entire game

again - journalism school and any "freelancing courses" are, at this point, scams bsky.app/profile/samm...

Gorgeous pass out to White for that last three, also

KAT is protecting the stitches near his eye with a legit old pair of STAT Knicks glasses, what a journey that piece of equiptment has been on all these years

When you see unhoused people asking for money what you should see is a fracturing of the social contract where an issue (housing) that should be addressed on a municipal or statuary level is instead foisted on individuals in a way designed o put callouses on their souls

It's like Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100 points in a basketball game, it was a different time and we'll never again see a rumor with that much memetic power again

Jared Leto

The one nice thing I'll say about Jordan is that he knew he needed to be gone at the end of the transition

Have any of the no votes on that investigation explained themselves?

a round pottery piece with pig eyes and a snout

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

the symbolism of Obama was powerful, but I think what really led to fascist panic was that the D party (hesitatingly, ambivalently, but nonetheless) really started to look like a partisan antiracist party.

the experience of having a dance spectacle narrated by the sports team always makes me want an option to go to a ballet where you have, like, John McEnroe in an ear saying “I’m being told that this is Drossel… Drosselmeyer? ominous cape there! watch how he jumps on the clock! no capes in my day”

We've only been aware of Trump's racism since a 1973 article about his real estate company refusing the rent apartments to black people, the first ever mention of his name in the NYT. That's why his Obama meme comes as a total shock. Who knew?

If you were to remove gaslighting I'm not sure Ryan would communicate at all with his constituents

Stunts! - The Criterion Channel Don’t try this at home! Cocurated by legendary stunt artist Buddy Joe Hooker, this thrill-packed tribute to the art of stunt design—which will be celebrated at the one hundredth Academy Awards in 2028...

Criterion always has smart, sharp curation- even so, this particular collection is PURE BANGERS 📽️

minor point of order since it keeps coming up, it's "Woke 2" and not "Woke 2.0". we're leaving tech industry bullshit behind too

Shoutout to shellac, just bug resin and alcohol and you've got everything you need. Looks great, easy to apply, infinitely repairable, edible if you really want...
