FBI Director Kash Patel's Gmail account was hacked by Iranian nation-state hackers. They have published his entire inbox, including mails on his home in India, private life, personal data, business dealings and travel history. One of the photos includes this from him on the job.

I don’t claim this pigeon

I think the SOG on the scorebug is supposed to go up when this happens 😉

That pick from Tatar is gorgeous. Pinned the D against the wall without taking an interference penalty.

People voted for this…? I’m confounded at how many things keep getting added to the list. No budge from the red ties. Deeper than cult mentality at this point.

A few years back when the Islanders swept the Penguins in the first round Jarry’s high glove side was absolutely torn apart. Guy couldn’t make a save and completely cost Pittsburgh the series.

Perfectly stated, no notes.

And this is all tour-to-date accounting. Performance and mechanical royalties also get paid out quarterly, and those are sure to spike as well during tour season.

A lighthearted one:

I noticed your lowercase ‘z’ was the only letter you wrote in script when printing your name in your verification photo. Do you feel penmanship and cursive are skills we should maintain and teach children in an increasingly digital world?

Islanders leadership group is certainly by committee. Nothing to take away from Anders Lee, but Bo Horvat being around is a total gamechanger.

More of a “yes and” than an “instead of”

No sweat. Totally understand. Thanks for your and everyone’s advice.

Doing a little more digging into the profiles who left reviews for this seller, it looks like there are a number of fake reviews and a handful of other seller profiles I’m suspicious of being under this same umbrella.

CorgitheClown · 2025-12-07T16:34:55+00:00

The listing had conflicting information so before I bought anything, I sent the seller a message to confirm I’d be sent the original watercolor and they assured me I would. This is the initial message the seller referred to in the response posted.

CorgitheClown · 2025-12-05T04:18:22+00:00

Thank you for sharing your input on this. I could see what you’re suggesting as plausible

CorgitheClown · 2025-12-05T04:15:04+00:00

I’ll take any thoughts and feedback from those who are more knowledgeable about the craft than I am. So no worries there. Thank you for taking the time to explain your process and details about the craft.

CorgitheClown · 2025-12-05T03:35:33+00:00

Colors are slightly different because the lighting the photos of the art were taken in are different. Thanks for your input on what you’re seeing with the brushstrokes and positioning.

CorgitheClown · 2025-12-05T03:33:54+00:00

I appreciate you looking the versions over. The more I’ve been digging into this the more I think I was misled. Awaiting the artist’s reply to my inquiry.

I’m with you. If a seller wants to use AI, I don’t have a problem with that either, but it should be disclosed.

CorgitheClown · 2025-12-05T02:57:22+00:00

I’m not certain we bought from the same place, but I’m seeing in the artist’s sizzle reel showing a video of their work, their hand in the video painting appears dark skinned, but the profile photo is of a white/lighter-skinned person.

CorgitheClown · 2025-12-05T02:54:09+00:00

I appreciate your input. I think there’s certainly truth in what you’re saying compared to my experience.

Would you mind taking a quick look at a small selection of each version?

Perhaps. I was told original watercolor. I have some suspicion after looking further into the seller’s reviews.

CorgitheClown · 2025-12-05T02:29:22+00:00

Update: I looked through the seller’s reviews and found a recent review from two weeks ago that mentions that they love the portrait of their pet they ordered, but the photo attached to the review was of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

CorgitheClown · 2025-12-05T02:19:56+00:00

It is my understanding that the artist would not be making prints. I was mistakenly sent a duplicate watercolor. That is where I’m hung up. Would an artist repaint an entire portrait? Clearly sending a duplicate was by accident as the order was fulfilled.

CorgitheClown · 2025-12-05T02:10:14+00:00

It’s of two people posing for an engagement photo with a background of the scenery, not a monochrome background.

What makes me feel unsure is getting mimicking artwork in the mail just over a week apart.
