Jennifer Falter's Ginkgo vase is made using the graffito technique. Working with the technique known as sgraffito, the ceramics artist Jennifer Falter, who in 1998 founded a studio in Springfield, Mo., with her husband, Nathan Falter, scrapes away the liquid clay coatings of her pieces to expose the solid layer below. "I settled on just working in black-and-white because that made the strongest contrast," she said. Her $425 Ginkgo vase is 10 inches high and 8 inches in diameter. springfieldpottery.com

An anonymous trader made a fast $88 million by shorting Bitcoin.

The trader made the bet that Bitcoin would plummet in value on Friday after opening their account “30 minutes before Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on China."

Not suspicious at all, right?

BIG NEWS: @gavinnewsom.bsky.social signed my bill (SB 41) to end abuses by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) — behemoth corporate drug middlemen that increase the cost of Rx drugs & destroy local pharmacies to favor their own mail order pharmacies.

Huge win to lower drug costs & benefit consumers.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.
