I'd feel a lot more comfortable with the crumbling of the American Empire on the world stage if it wasn't China waiting in the wings to fil the vacuum.

Recent project: Full-Length Mirror, 33"x66". Black lacquer over red oak.

Turns out it's a bit bigger than it needed to be. Oh, well. Such are the risks with first-time, one-off projects.

Haha! Seriously, SaskTel, about the last thing to concern me about traveling to the US is my roaming fees.

Like Shatner, at age 94, is just dying to be show runner for a Star Trek franchise. 🙄

He's just hoping to avoid shitting pants and to make it to his 95th birthday.
So sick of Temu Goebbels.

I know he has the functional vocabulary of a 6th grader, but "respect" is such an odd word choice here.
Trump: "As you know, Iran canceled the hanging of over 800 people. They were gonna hang over 800 people yesterday. And I greatly respect the fact that they canceled that."

Now that Trump got that medal from Machado, he will never meet with her again nor will he help her in Venezuela. He’s getting his oil from the Maduro regime, which is all he cares about. He believes she stole what is rightfully his, and now he’s staring at the medal like Gollum.

I'm sure they'll come roarin' back like the rapture any day now.
Introducing the highest U.S. tariffs since the Great Depression, President Trump made a clear promise in the spring: “Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country.”

They haven’t.
Trump’s promised manufacturing boom is a bust so far
Manufacturing employment has declined every month since April, when the president said tariffs would bring factories “roaring back.”

Supriya Dwivedi: "I don't think we should be discounting the notion that the desire for Greenland might be based on other reasons... it very well could be about currying favour with folks that put Trump in power."

It really is a government of moral cowardice.
Canada denies participation in the Danish military exercise in Greenland: "As of this moment, the Canadian Armed Forces are not initiating any new operations in Greenland," said Maya Ouferhat, press secretary in the office of Canada's minister of national defense.
Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada and France will participate alongside Denmark to expanded military exercises in Greenland.

Anyone here read The Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson? Someone twigged me onto it, but I can only get the first book from the library. Which I'm about to read, but if I want the rest of the series, the most economical way to get it is the complete ebook collection for $150.
