Helmet with one row of stones around the bottom and the logos blacked out with opaque paint marker.

This is going to take a lot longer than I had planned.

Deodorant package with rhinestones glued to it.

Quick tool/process test on this ABS plastic deodorant cap:

Dusty sanded helmet.

Dust wiped off.

First step is to lightly sand the gloss off the plastic so the glue has something to grab on to. I gave it a once over with 400 grit, then wiped the dust off with a damp cloth.

Spread of supplies: a black skateboard helmet, thirteen thousand rhinestones, glue, sandpaper, rhinestone applicators, tweezers.

Rainy Saturday craft project thread: leopard print rhinestone bike and skateboard helmet.

If I was a rich guy who had spent the past ~decade getting dog walked by Los Angeles DSA, of all people, I might have a little humility about my ability to do politics.

Again my thesis is the great divide in politics is being driven by positive emotions and negative ones, and the coalition of the loving needs to win .

It’s delightful 🫩

Los Angeles landlord Twitter is on day ten of a screaming tantrum about how YIMBYs don’t care enough about protecting their profit margins 🙄

Agreed.

For shame. There should be zero tolerance for this kind of behavior from congresspeople and other elected Democrats.

I think Gillibrand did that out of principle and then got so much blowback for it that she later abandoned that principle.

I gotta stop using “further” so much.

Al Franken did the right and honorable thing by resigning.

Further, he was not "railroaded." One person—Al Franken—knew the whole truth about Al Franken's behavior; and he chose to resign before an investigation could happen.

Further, Franken was not irreplaceable. Tina Smith is a great Senator!

No it is not a necessary tool at all.

No, just an interest in the topic. We will brief you on the bills we're running and set everything up.

No, this is not "for the courts to work out before we jump to conclusions." Courts exist to determine whether or not someone should go to jail, not their fitness for one of the most important elected offices in American government.

He's a genuine YIMBY.
