Just passing through.
Ugh, that’s not worth the watch. They’re still kissing his ass for dear life, they just had to change into different programming. The article made it sound as if Fox News for a brief moment recognized that Trump is huge senile weirdo. They did not.
I feel dirty for having watched that. What a sleezy bunch of corporate assholes.
Yeah, I think that’s a very valid point that I didn’t immediately give enough consideration.
As a complete outsider, being a woman in a country where half the men are Trump supporters sounds fucking terrifying.
I don’t think it speaks for the US being run by dynasties, but rather that the top of the political landscape is not extremely dynamic. I think name recognition is a huge deal in the US, which would also help explain Reagan and Trump.
True! I’m also lucky enough to come from the countryside with a father who is an avid tool collector, so whenever I’m on holiday back home I have a lot of things available, including a lathe and a band saw. I really should make more active use of it, even though I live too far away for it to be practical to build anything big.
I do some woodcarving now and then of smaller stuff like knives and cups, but I live in cities and move around a lot, so it’s not all that convenient to get into proper woodworking. I did create a couple of outdoor benches once (that a friend still has on his balcony around a decade later), but they’re more sturdy than they are good looking!
I recently moved into a more spacious unfurnished apartment and started a three-year contract with work, and my partner and I have been discussing maybe building some furniture for it. Nothing yet though - so far just making it liveable has been the priority. :)
I think it’s a good size, any smaller and it would seem off balance with the wider bottom of the shelf.
Beautiful! And thank you for the description of the progress - it’s inspiring, even though I’m far away from attempting anything like that myself at the moment.
Yeah, me too. I’m pretty sure this is the first time I have heard Trump’s voice this election cycle, as I was curious if it was an early sign that the Murdoch empire might start turning its back to him.
It is not, and I immediately regretted wasting time on it and giving it attention. At least I learned about the existence of Gutfeld, a right-wing attempt at a satire news talkshow (?), and now I want to puke.
