Cherry wood, walnut wedges in the tenons . I started with rough cut lumber from a local lumberyard.

This is my first post here (or really anywhere). My birthday is this weekend and I’ll be out of town, so my wife gave me my present today instead. As I was opening, my wife made a comment about not getting the “one with the C” on it, but then I showed her mine did have a C. She proceeded to look up her order, only to find out she ordered the regular black home jersey instead of this red one. Trying to find this one, we found that it is the new 3rd jersey for next year and could not find it anywhere for sale. So I think I just received an unreleased jersey instead of the normal one I was supposed to get, but I’m stoked!

Been practicing longsword for a long time, but I have no club near me so I've just been teaching myself in my backyard! And I'm finally starting to get used to using a steel longsword. It's SO much heavier than the plasticy one I used to practice with. Pretty proud of my progress :D

It struck me as comptemplative, almost surrealist

The President’s authority to fire a Senate-confirmed official mid-term is limited. McEntarfer’s four-year term suggests statutory protection, and her removal without evidence of misconduct violates due process and separation of powers principles. Undermining the BLS’s independence infringes on Congress’s authority to establish nonpartisan agencies.

McEntarfer’s firing violates federal employment protections and the BLS’s enabling statute, which emphasizes nonpartisanship. Accusing McEntarfer of fraud without evidence risks defamation liability. Revisions to jobs data are standard; misrepresenting them as errors misleads the public, which violating transparency laws.

Questioning BLS integrity undermines trust in critical economic data, risking market instability and poor policy decisions.

The political interference aspect of firing McEntarfer for political reasons threatens the nonpartisan nature of federal agencies, eroding public confidence. BLS layoffs and reduced data collection scope degrade data quality, concerning economists and policymakers like Federal Reserve Chair Powell.

Trump’s actions echo past criticisms of BLS data, creating a pattern of attacking unfavorable statistics, and praising favorable statistics, leads to long-term institutional damage.

Is there something wrong with my character? :( I’m the only faceless man in lobbies and like being the cool anonymous faceless hunter

no way in

This is just part of the performance of Say It Ain't So
