Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.
Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.
He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

Please run, not walk, and check out this article. Siren's Oath is something a bit special.

The fine folks at Goblin Hobbies were kind enough to send me a complimentary Stampin' Starter kit! I've been excited to try these out for months now, even more since they let me yammer at them on last month's Brush Wielders Union podcast. www.patreon.com/posts/bwu-po...

This is still one of the best pics I've ever taken, using natural light, outdoors in the snow with no post processing or edits.
I get these conditions only a few times a year.

Replacing my "THIS IS WHAT A FEMINIST LOOKS LIKE" t-shirt
Hard to think of anything in media that regularly brings me as much pure joy anymore as the headline in The New York Times' Trilobites section.

Assembling this ten piece bolt thrower was the most miserable hobby experience I have had in years. It was what we in the industry call, “a real piece of shit.”

I am genuinely relieved to hear this failed early. My love of theoretical mega-structures was warring with my despair at such an obvious boondoggle and incalculable environmental catastrophe even in the case of the immediate failure.
NEW: The End of the Line: the centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s Neom gigaproject - a 500m tall, 170km long wall-like building intended ultimately to house 9 million people - can’t get out of the ground, say more than 20 former Neom architects, engineers and senior executives.
