House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

Pendant v2 - the first version was too heavy. Forged and twisted wrought iron with quartz crystal. Not quite where I want it to be, but this one was mostly to see if the setting would work. #jewelry #blacksmithing #art #forging

The amount to which modern tech reporting is just advertising is shameful. I cringe every time I see the latest Apple product launches on the news.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Finally got my hands on some wrought iron and whipped out a quick candle scribe to play with it. Definitely more finicky than steel, a few tears and cracks in the grain but nothing that's a problem for this application. #metalwork #art #blacksmithing
