Fucking insane that SCOTUS let this criminal blowhard run again in defiance of the constitution.

The whole idea of parading suspects in front of the media is a mockery of the principle.

Fuck the NYPD.

The federal government is only one locus of power; they have the majority in many State legislatures.

Liberals and appeasement go together like chocolate and peanut butter.

Solidarity is all that keeps reactionaries from taking over.

I have to imagine that the craftsperson knew it was beautiful at the time.

I wonder if it was functional or ceremonial? It's fascinating either way.

Right?

When your business model is an engine that creates desperate people with nothing to lose, you have to expect something like this.

Oof, thanks for the warning. I was wondering if I should stain him, I think I will.

I'm sure Academie (or whatever they're calling Blackwater these days) and the Pinkertons are about to see a lot of new business.

I'm not sure I'd recommend the set that I got; it was pretty cheap, but I wanted to try a bunch of styles like whittling and chip carving. I'll get good versions of what I like.

The guy in the tutorial I used recommended a 1.5 in (4 cm) bench knife.

You should definitely get into it though! It's a lot of fun so far. Get gloves for sure.

Exactly why Republicans hate her so much.

Ghulam Mohammad Baksh Butt (22 May 1878 – 23 May 1960), commonly known by the title Rustam-e-Hind and by the ring name The Great Gama, was a pehlwani wrestler and strongman in British India and later, Pakistan. In the early 20th century, he was an undefeated wrestling champion of British India.

 
 
 
 
 

Giaches de Wert was a Franco-Flemish composer of the late Renaissance, active in Italy. Intimately connected with the progressive musical center of Ferrara, he was one of the leaders in developing the style of the late Renaissance madrigal. He was one of the most influential of late sixteenth-century madrigal composers, particularly on Claudio Monteverdi, and his later music was formative on the development of music of the early Baroque era.

 

There were a couple swooping at him for about five minutes before they finally drove him off.

The use of blue glaze on pottery is an imported technique, first developed by Mongol artisans who combined Chinese glazing technology with Persian decorative arts. This technique traveled east to India with early Turkic conquests in the 14th century. During its infancy, it was used to make tiles to decorate mosques, tombs and palaces in Central Asia. Later, following their conquests and arrival in India, the Mughals began using them in India. Gradually the blue glaze technique grew beyond an architectural accessory to Indian potters. From there, the technique traveled to the plains of Delhi and in the 17th century went to Jaipur.
