@nomenloony Live to Earth - yikes! Even looks wrong to me and I only know basic electronics.

@nomenloony looks like Google's Gemini got it right.

A view of what the Titanic engine could look like if I have the frames right. They only seem to fit this way. #Makershour #TitanicProject

Today in #Valheim I started getting things ready for Bonemass and managed to get Boris the boar back in the animal pen. #ShareYourGames

@treleanor no idea. I definitely didn't see it.

The Titanic engine is growing. Added some more connecting rods. #Makershour #TitanicProject

Borrowed from fakebook.

My daughter came home from school and said,
“Mom, you’re not going to believe what happened in history class today.”

Her teacher told the class they were going to play a game.
He walked around the room and whispered to each kid whether they were a witch or just a regular person. Then he gave the instructions:

“Form the biggest group you can without a witch. If your group has even one, you all fail.”

She said the whole room instantly lit up with suspicion.
Everyone started interrogating each other. Are you a witch? How do we know you’re not lying?
Some kids clung to one big group, but most broke off into smaller, exclusive cliques. They turned away anyone who seemed uncertain, nervous, or gave off even the slightest hint of being guilty.

The energy shifted fast. Suddenly everyone was suspicious of everyone.
Whispers. Finger-pointing. Side-eyes. Trust dissolved in minutes.

Finally, when all the groups were formed, the teacher said,
“Alright, time to find out who fails. Witches, raise your hands.”

And not one hand went up.

The whole class exploded. “Wait! You messed up the game!”

And then the teacher dropped the bomb:
“Did I? Were there any actual witches in Salem, or did everyone just believe what they were told?”

My daughter said the room went dead silent.

That’s when it hit them. No witch was ever needed for the damage to happen. Fear had already done its work. Suspicion alone divided the entire class, turning community into chaos.

And isn’t that exactly what we’re seeing today?
Different words, same playbook.
Instead of “witch,” it’s liberal, conservative, vaxxed, unvaxxed, pro-this, anti-that.
The labels shift, but the tactic is the same.

Get people scared. Get them suspicious. Get them divided.
Then sit back while trust crumbles.

The danger was never the witch.
The danger is the rumor. The suspicion. The fear. The planted lies.

Refuse the whisper. Don’t play the game. Because the second we start hunting “witches,” we’ve already lost.

@Heliograph wow! How will people get their parcels now... 🤔

@benroyce this is totally crazy!

Glad I live in Australia, we may have a few problems with health care, but overall it is way better than the US!

M.V. Krait and light ship Carpentaria.

Final view from the balcony in Hong Kong. Sunset across the water. #Cruise2025

@bmacDonald94 good luck. 😃

Well that was a total stuff up by cunard. Have two different times for the train excursion and not telling you which is the right one. Had 9:15 am on the ticket and 8:15 am hidden away in the daily program!!!

Seems the later one was when the bus left the dock where the tender pulled in, but of course there was nothing to show that's what it was! #Cruise2025

Aft well deck in place on Titanic. It is a tight fit and an overall view of the ship. #MakersHour #TitanicProject
