Re-upping my introduction on here.

I'm Blake from Houston,Tx. I make weird modernist art jewelry and post about small silly cars.

Mostly on Mastodon with the same username, but I am staking a claim here as well.

I'm not sure if this is AI or if the Sauber F1 graphics dept thinks that Austin is in Arizona.

#F1

I love that McLaren's "special" Gemini livery, like everything AI related, is just to awkwardly paste it on top of the normal one in a way that makes it worse.

I mean, it's a drag, and we're all really busy, but there's going to need to be some kind of revolution. Says Skeletor flying a flag with his favorite leader in it - himself.

Is there anyone in US politics that lies with the ease and commitment of this fucking weasel?

A car that exists I suppose. I'm not ashamed of struggling with this one.

Trump has no legal authority, "standing" or otherwise, to order the killing of people in international waters for unsubstantiated accusations of non-capital crimes.

Calling them "narcoterrorists" does not make it right or legal to order their deaths without any due process.

Trump announces another strike "just off the Coast of Venezuela" that killed 6 people

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

Occasional reminder that my pal @tikibunnyimports.bsky.social can probably get you one of these with the proper Honda badges and good headlights for substantially less than whatever this goes for.
