Any chance someone on here knows the artist who made this ceramic piece? Was bought in KC, maybe Red Star or Belger 10+ years ago? Am wanting to surprise my wife with another piece, possibly. (She's not on Bluesky, so I can only post it here)
Text from RNC. I’ll be seeking out those petitions

I don’t have HBO anymore but every time I see a clip from the Thoughts and Prayers documentary I feel absolutely gutted.

I’m not sure I’d make it through it but it should be free for every American to be able to view. Especially on Capitol Hill.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

I don't see how a 9-win team can finish 8-4, but if there's a way, Texas A&M will find it.

“They will build them and just put them out, and there's no conversation, there's no engagement,” [the ATA] said. “There's just them, almost from a point of hostility, saying, ‘I put this out here because you took our stuff away and people deserve to sit down.’”

Yup.

Ortiz made $782,000 this year playing baseball. Clase brought home $4.5 million pitching for the Guardians.

It wasn't enough, apparently.

I wonder if the parade wouldn't be better attended downtown now that there are more residents and visitors, more restaurant and bars, and the streetcar to move people?

But now that the A/R headquarters is no longer in downtown KCMO ... I sadly don't care.

Not only can they not fight, they don’t even have respectable venues to shoot the fade. Imagine telling your buddies that someone mopped the floor with you at a Bass Pro Shop.

That’s like losing a rap battle at Toys R Us.
