Leeds United, U.S. politics, birding and oil painting. I write about the things that interest me. This is why I have no audience.

Moitessier portrait update. Probably 8 hours or so from artificially calling it finished because I’ll be tired of staring at it. 50”x30”. For anyone looking for a good read, The Long Way by Moitessier is a fascinating read.

I’m fairness, Fanni Willis wasn’t ever qualified to be prosecuting anything to begin with - Trump case or not.

So Tom Barrack, who somehow recently got a jury to acquit him on charges of being an unregistered foreign agent of UAE, will now be our ambassador to Turkey. I’m sure that will be a purely philanthropic affair for him.

Fully expecting that his manifesto will read like Taylor Sheridan writing dialogue for a lawyer.

My former Antiochian Orthodox Church congregation has some vocal and… disturbing… views on the Assad situation. Very glad I don’t have to interact with them anymore.

Leaving a bag of monopoly money near your murder scene and watching the cops fail to find it for three whole days while following an unrelated bike is what being a D&D DM is like

Halfway through my Moitessier painting. If I finish this one I’ll have to celebrate with French champagne by myself and not speaking to anyone for a few days. That will be a wonderful time.

This dude apparently bought and used a specific purpose assassin pistol with built in wet suppressor. I’m re-evaluating my earlier thoughts on the likelihood of this being a personal grievance.

“He told me he’d stop drinking if given control of the most powerful army on earth…” That just doesn’t offer me much comfort.

This new populated BlueSky performed admirably through last weekend’s Syria kickoff and the South Korea attempted coup. This feels like it is finally big enough to cover international breaking news.

It’s a beautiful day for the 49ers to be at the bottom of the NFC West. Makes the Monday morning shine just a bit extra.

Appalling officiating. I hope Leedsvgets as much of a homer next game as Blackburn did this one.

I’m always amazed how much of Championship defending is just relying on the other side to miss seemingly easy shots.

It’s taken a while, but I’m fully on the “anyone but Meslier” wagon.

People that need to take responsibility for Merrick Garland? 1) Merrick Garland. 2) Joe Biden. 3) Every ass hat who told Joe Biden that Garland was a good idea. None of them should have positions of responsibility in civic life ever again. And if Trump throws Garland in jail, then karma.

Jesus Christ… republicans are turning me into an AOC fan. I hate this, yet here I am. I’ve found her ridiculous and attention seeking for years, and now I’m willing to admit I was totally wrong and she’s… right about a lot of stuff.
