He's feeding the "fox in the henhouse" brigade, if you remember that anti-muslim meme from a few years ago? I cut off a long term friendship after the friend posted that one. The sentiment was rife when the big T(urd) first entered politics. 😞

I've been firing other people's kilns - community studio, at my work, etc - but it will be amazing to have total control. And my pieces just have to move across the room now for firing, not 30 minutes on country roads! 😁

Thanks. I'm a committed planner so the studio has been whiteboarded since last year. 😆 Started planning for the kiln 6 or 7 years ago but had to move for hubby's work so spent a few years in rentals. Great to be back on track finally. Good luck with your landlord!

I think understanding such things is a skill that requires regular activity to maintain, too. When I regularly read complex reports and articles, in a former life, my brain could process the information effectively. These days I really struggle! So I save my brain by trusting the actual experts.

Replace Fox with Sky and the same goes for some Australians as well. Too many! They're toxic.

Not just the US. I get a weekly dose of one in Australia and have decided to abandon a longstanding social arrangement because I can't take the idiocy anymore. Logic and facts just bounce off them yet they loudly share their "knowledge" at every opportunity.

I had my first in person experience of someone going on about the mysterious "they" that are manipulating weather patterns and... chemtrails everywhere, of course.
Unsurprisingly the same person who waves flags because... immigrants! Spouts easily disproved anti government rot, etc.

This!! The crux of the "thirty seconds to embed nonsense but years of study to understand the truth about complex subjects" dilemma. So many people want everything to be simple and won't accept that most things are actually very complex.

When I was a uni student we would eat 2 minute noodles and baked zucchini, etc for ages so we could occasionally have a night out at the local Japanese restaurant. Bonus was when we had full time employed friends who'd kick in some $!

Homeland security is relying on grok assessments rather than career intelligence experts these days? 😅🙄

Had to look at your profile to check if you were being sarcastic. 🤪

I'm sure a few from other countries will be with you all in spirit. Hope the administration and their supporters don't pull any total dick moves.
Sending positive vibes from Australia!!

Sadly, it was on mine. 😪 I'd be very surprised if the returning Gazans are left alone to successfully rebuild. But hey, maybe the Israel gvt will surprise me, right?

The last few months of this have felt orchestrated, as in strategic business coordination rather than acts of diplomacy. 😔
I'm worried Israel already has plans in place to make sure the people returning to Gaza can never successfully settle or thrive.
Will be glad to be proven wrong though!

The only report I saw said bullet had anti-ice text but shooter and victims all detainees... So many things that didn't add up in that brief article! Why detainees shot, not ICE? How did a detainee have a suitable gun and the opportunity?
That initial report made zero sense.

I hope everyone else trying to cancel keeps trying too. I had no subscription to start with, thankfully.

Yes, I've wondered if it crashed or was taken down in the hope that people might be less likely to cancel if they can't do it straight away.
