Coolest thing I've seen at Salute today: this minis version of the classic early-80s Atari arcade game Battlezone. Not the digital-to-tabletop adaptation I'd expected to find, but wow.

The fountain pen of the day is the LAMY Studio 'Black Forest' Green, with its characteristic propeller blade-inspired clip and all-metal body. It's a hefty pen, but still looks sleek, and is very nice to write with. The colour was difficult to capture, but is a deep speckled dark green.

But he *is* exempt from the law. This has been made utterly clear, especially since the insurrection attempt. The US does *not* have a functioning rule of law.

Meanwhile, Canada and the EU are strengthening their relationship

Hope this helps.

The fountain pen of the day is an Inoxcrom "Atlantic Black Laquer". They are a Spanish stationary maker whose cartridge fountain pens are well made, and while not Preppy cheap, are quite affordable.

Doubleplus good! Oh, wait, no. I meant the opposite of that.

Avoid news. Feel better. No point in driving yourselves mad over what you cannot control.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

For anyone in the UK watching this and thinking, "This is America's version of Brexit," it's not. It's what would have happened if the lettuce had lost.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Absolute cinema

😆😆😆 It's so gratifying to see these morons fighting with each other!

Yay! Looking forward to draw and paint some juicy commissions 💪🤩

Thinking of bottling and selling liberal tears. Evidently some people think they are worth about six trillion dollars.

This is the funniest post of the week.

When we had a psycho anti human rights freak crash the economy we live streamed a lettuce with a face and then she went away. Maybe they should try that

This is high art

You guys, they're not stupid They're doing propaganda When they lie through their teeth, they are doing propaganda Do you think the people behind Big Brother in 1984 were stupid? Big Brother says lots of nonsensical shit. It's called p r o p a g a n d a

The Uppland trail might traverse a relatively flat landscape, but some parts are still quite challenging. The leg I hiked yesterday could very well be renamed "rocky road". But puns aside, I had a great time on the trail!

This is a very worthwhile thread, explaining just how stupid the current tariff situation is.

Men will complain about pronouns and then turn around and talk about a boat as if it’s a 1920s noir-film dame they long to caress

Fountain pen of the day is the LAMY Safari. It's an affordable cartridge filler with a steel nib. I love the look of most LAMY pens. They put a lot of effort into their work, making them as functional as possible, while still having an eye for stylish design.

It's an older meme, sir, but it checks out. m.youtube.com/watch?v=v1UO...

Yeah, let's not kid ourselves. Racism and misogyny played a *huge* part in the US election.

I'm switching careers to soothsaying.

I suppose this is more of a group therapy session.
