I also sell these but if you want you can just buy from the guy himself.
I just like selling them in person because I think it's only when you hold these superbly designed objects that you start to really get how much care and craftsmanship went into making these.
This is my favorite time of year: I get to send beautiful information graphics all over the world (over 60 countries and counting!).

After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

Airport signs are undergoing an evolution, or is it revolution?

Out are solely static signs that, while they move travelers from point A to B, have little to no dynamism. In are a new mix of static and digital displays that do everything the old signs did and more. #airportarchitecture

Sure, put shower gel, shampoo and conditioner dispensers in the shower and a hand soap pump on the sink. That’s great.

But gotta come up with a way to serve individual butter and jam servings. Cross contamination is real, shared butter/jam will be a gross disaster of crumbs & mess, and more waste.

Trump’s simple-minded view is that countries will soak up any degree of bullying because they need access to the US market to keep their economies afloat. But we’re already seeing a slow pivot away from the US across the world. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Hegseth’s argument is “If I say terrorist enough times, anything I do is justified.” That’s not national security. Mass murder isn’t “kinetic effectiveness.” It’s a man trying to normalize attacking a country. If this were real intel, they wouldn’t be broadcasting it this loudly.
