My partner asked for a last minute sign today. 3D printing to the rescue!
Made a sign for today… 3D printed letters, foam core, spray paint… then added a 3D printed handle.

So last night, after watching the Russian Victory Day ‘24 video for contrast, I thought “what the hell” & went ahead & watched1️⃣ the PBS YT video of the “June 24 Military2️⃣ Parade” to see if it was as bad as all that
(Short Answer: Yes and No)
But this guy was the one that caught my sympathy as “you poor dude”.
I noticed that OpenStreetMaps somehow lost Lake Michigan, so I went investigating. Apparently back in April somebody accidentally changed it from a "lake" to a "school" and it's taking months to be fixed across all regions/renderers.

After some neighbors say they want to be able to drive cars in cycletrack, DC govt replaces it with painted lanes & says basis for action was aesthetics of flexposts.
If the problem is really that flexposts don't look nice, why not replace them with decorative bollards?

Massive scandal in Hungary Georg Spöttle, Orban's "best pundit" who has been influencing public opinion for years now, turned out to be a foreign agent (ruzzia), and his handler is colonel Oleg Smirnov (GRU) The Orban-regime is not commenting so far! : r/UkrainianConflict

The fact that most people—even the punditocracy—seem to willfully not remember who was president in 2020 explains a lot of current political discourse on numerous subjects

❝But why does Trump want chaos? Many pundits and, I’m sorry to say, all too many Democrats assume that performative cruelty, both in the form of those ICE arrests and in roughing up demonstrators, will work to Trump’s political advantage.
For what it’s worth, that’s not what the available polling says.❞

Krugman quotes Morris again:
❝If Trump gets away with this, he will absolutely do the same thing during the 2026 & 2028 elections. He will manufacture unrest just like in LA and send federal troops to every major city as a way to intimidate voters and decrease turnout. Functional end to fair elex.❞
And after more along these lines:
❝If you’re a pundit who thinks that this is over the top, you’re part of the problem (and you have been wrong every step of the way.)❞
