Next project on the workbench. Working on this for a TBA special interest publication.

Ship plans, laser-cut wooden parts, and thin, dimensional lumber laid out on a workbench waiting to be assembled into a half-hull ship model.

So my daughter is back from Cambridge just for Sunday lunch. She wants a proper roast dinner with roast spuds and Yorkshires. Takes a bit of work on the timing but no problem, we will have a lovely chill time.

I thought. /1

You need to see this…

Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

Asana has been a mess, too.

No, horseradish and a slice of onion on a single sandwich is not TOO MUCH. I’ll not take any questions at this time.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

The government said they aren’t releasing SNAP benefits in November — but ALDI is helping families out. Their Thanksgiving meal bundle feeds 10 people for just $40! 🦃 Available now through Christmas Eve, it includes 21 items (like a 14-lb turkey + sides). Share this with everyone!

Does it count as exclusive if the New Republic interviewed Platner back in August? I assume writers at The Bulwark agree words, even just one in a HED. Are there degrees of exclusivity?

All the fonts, including a surprisingly modern 1960s style italic font, advertising the sale of Ashton Farm by auction at the Crown Hotel Bishops Waltham in 1908.

I sometimes wonder if, in the 20th century, instead of going to church on Sundays, folks had stayed home and read poems or novels aloud to each other for an hour, and talked about the thoughts or feelings they evoked, where we’d be as a society.
