1/ The night of the raid, Jonahyker López awoke to the sound of a helicopter over his building and federal agents yelling, “Open the door!” López told me he sat on the edge of his bed, wishing that his own door would become invisible. But the door came down and agents burst in. 🧵

1/ Stalingrad Project:
I finished my first ever Warlord Games vehicle; IS-2 Heavy Tank for my Soviet army.
It's a really good kit and was easy to assemble. I'm really happy with the end result.
I'm planning to have one tank with each Inf platoon.

I painted another commission for John Blanche, this time on of the new as yet unreleased figures for his upcoming game, En Garde. John supplied the base. The crystals glow in the dark so I thought it would be a good opportunity to do a photography effect!

At some point, incompetence and deliberate indifference to the law reaches a point where it is indistinguishable from deliberate misconduct. This is why you don’t hand a complex matter to someone who has never presented to a grand jury before.
A federal judge ORDERS the disclosure of James Comey's grand jury minutes to the defense, citing a "disturbing pattern pattern of profound investigative missteps" and casting doubt on Lindsey Halligan's declaration about the gap in the record.

A couple of months ago, I had the chance to watch @kenlburns.bsky.social six-part doc on the American Revolution.
It was, unsurprisingly, fantastic — and like I do with all of Ken’s documentaries, I’m going to rewatch it soon.
All six parts start streaming this Sunday night on all PBS platforms!

Trump & Epstein were named as co-defendants in a lawsuit accusing them of raping 13 year old Katie Johnson. She ended up dropping the lawsuit after receiving death threats for her & her family.
This is not new evidence.
This cannot be covered up.

They really are going with immaculate asymmetry of tariffs, which didn't raise prices when they were imposed but will cut them when they're withdrawn.
KARL: Tariffs have been removed from some food items. How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down?
HASSETT: The prices for those goods weren't necessarily going up just because of tariffs
KARL: So they might not go down?

Kerensky have mercy, I’m scratch-building a wet navy battleship for #battletech. After using a jigsaw to cut a plank to size, I went hand-operated. I used a hobby saw to rough out the shape then sanded by hand. 2 hours and a bucket of sawdust later we have a ship shape! #tabletopgaming

I’m gonna disagree with this one.
What we’re calling “AI” doesn’t replace cognition. It replaces pattern matching, but on its own has no idea which patterns are important or why.
We are nowhere close to an actual thinking machine.

The plow, the steam engine, electricity — all replaced muscle. AI replaces cognition. If you spend your day “reading lots of stuff and turning it into straight English,” well… so does the machine. The goal now is to learn from history and cushion the blow better than last time.
