What do Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Meta, and HP have in common?

They all once pledged to stop donations to anyone who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And now they're all donors to Trump's White House ballroom. https://popular.info/p/these-corporations-stopped-worrying

These Corporations Stopped Worrying About Democracy and Bought Trump a Ballroom

It has been nearly five years since the 2020 presidential election, but President Trump continues to baselessly insist i

Wow! Do they ever visit the suburbs or are they strictly a nature park kind of sighting?

Elk horn and deer horn make great knife scales (because they are real bone, not hair like an antelopes' horn). My husband is a knife maker and uses horn for handles A LOT. Super popular with knife enthusiasts.

OMG! This is truly horrifying. I'm totally creeped out as I walk around my house wondering which machines are communicating with other machines, other people... and to what end do 'THEY' need this data... retaliation? The coffee maker that grinds beans & then orders more beans is VERY SUSPICIOUS! 😱

So, I'll bite.... I'm always curious about porcelain... what is this a test of/for?

Ever used Bisque Fix? It has positive reviews from fellow potters.
It's shockingly WHITE, which is OK for me, since this piece will have an undercoat of gloss white. It suggests mixing in mason stain to get a closer match... I'm guessing A LOT of stain! #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky

A coiled cone (roof) with the bottom coil 'glued' back in place. It's VERY WHITE and looks like dried paper mache

Ah, I've heard (they say...) that painting with dipping glazes is not recommended... note to self!!
I get that the taping IS tedious, but the finished pieces looks so cool!!

JStar🌟 @azkelpie.bsky.social · 5d

Beautiful! If you don't mind, what glaze did you use that turned out patchy? (if you DO mind... my bad, didn't mean to pry 😬)

My grandmas number was: empire 5-2301... a party line! (the HORROR!!!)

Mamatus indeed!! Finger crossed.

I normally would skip over a cheetosface rant, but I knew this one would be good... oh, its more than good, it's spectacular. I especially liked the part about the country of Norway apologizing to the American people!
How about you first, f#ckface?

The #Amaco #KilnIce test is back and I'm happy with the result! I used 5 heavy coats of #SnowDrift on Laguna Specked Buff, fired to ◇5. It's a little more tan/ beige than I expected, but very stable: no runs, no brush strokes, no thin spots! Pin holes may be typical? #pottery #ceramics #potterysky

2 pics of donut vase with a new crackle glaze from Amaco called Kiln Ice.

I'm sad to see the #Vuelta end on such a chaotic note. Sad for the riders, the spectators, & the Vuelta sponsors. This conflict has been going on for how many centuries? It has no discernible meaning for bicycle racing in Spain... except to ruin it. Not likely to win many hearts and minds. #cycling
