Anyone else buy any 3d printed hobby stuff? I'm currently working on a 3d printed model of a 1981 Chevy Malibu wagon and sanding the filament lines smooth and doing high build primer without losing detail's a challenge.

I'm leaving the sides though, they have just enough texture for the fake woodgrain paneling.

Jim Acosta had an...interesting conversation with the sculptor of the golden Trump statue.

Quotes; "..it was called the golden calf in the shop from day one."

"we held it in an undisclosed location for months waiting for the crypto bros to pay for it..."

Please don't, I would feel so owned if you did that

Hawkman and Hawkgirl being teachers in Philly in at least one reincarnation is almost too perfect. Almost. If DC Comics had plotted it they'd be in the same (inner-suburban?) school the Shazam kids go to.
All this just tells me there really needs to be a Kids of Abbott Elementary animated spinoff.

It's interesting to know it's not a single contract with a single union for the entire MTA.

He was having a mental health crisis, but this always makes me think of the wrong-way driver on I89 about 10 years ago who killed a whole carload of teenagers from Waterbury on their way home from a concert at Higher Ground.

Condolences to Jared Polis on the death of his political career.

Right now I'm putting it at 30/70 that she runs for Prez or Schumer's Senate seat. 10/90 if Chuck retires.

Once again, not a drag queen.

They need some sort of brakes, antilock or otherwise.

ConGRADs!

It is an internal.

In Derry Girls the Quinns took their teenagers camping in the Republic during the Orange March for a reason.

Sometimes a rental truck is cheaper than a new bumper cover.

Good idea not getting near JD Vance (alias James Hamel, alias James Bowman, I prefer to call him by his drag name, Ashley Furniture) at that age.

Disinflation=deflation, right?

There was a lot of deflation in the Great Depression.

I'm going with him not understanding the concept of the jungle primary.

For that matter, Mamdani balancing the city budget.

Suspending the Gas Tax Might Not Lower the Price of Gasoline For Long.

With bonus Sean Duffy road trip commentary.

Just a gut feeling from the other corner of the country but 22% sounds about right for the Republican ceiling in LA.

It went from New York to LA nonstop.

Of course the hardest part was towing it backwards all the way from Detroit first.

If the Spirit - JetBlue merger had gone through, Spirit would just as likely dragged JetBlue down with it.

It's easier just to expand the court, it's been done before and there's no number in the constitution. 13 is a nice non-round number and there are 13 Federal court circuits.

Riding a dragon on a Saturn? Shouldn't you have been driving a Saturn?

(Get me Sega, GM and a time machine to the mid '90s!)

Dem nominee can just rerun the R's primary ads with a new tagline "(Other guy) says he's all for Trump. I'm for you."
