You have criminals in charge of your country. I think you are rapidly heading for civil war unfortunately.

Americans are generally detested throughout the world. Your so called government are now killing its own people on the streets. We in the UK only know your dim thick general population actually goes to school because of all the school shootings that happen. Greenland does not want to colonised by America. Neither does Venezuela or Canada. The world looks on appalled by the orange monster and his cohorts actions. No better than Putin. Simon

Not to belittle such a dreadful event but the federal police confronting the public reaction remind me of redcoats in Boston before hostilities to throwout George III.
It is a nightmare what is happening to the West and the Post World War II order.

The US should be declared a rogue state. No better than Iran, Russia and the like. The United States is no longer a trusted partner of anyone. It is governed by criminals, sex offenders and thieves. Home of the free, whoever told you that is your enemy!

It's bad, and who knows where things will go, but I still hold onto hope that we will get through this mess and get to a better place some day. It sucks to see the evil being done in the meantime though.

This is what you get when morons elect morons unfortunately
Sad that you're so easily manipulated by the press.
I cannot in good conscience disagree with any of the comments offered here. After events like these, there are always people who observe that we (human society) are better than this. In all honesty, and with the rose-colored glasses removed. . . No, we're not. Given the opportunity, humans will always sink to the bottom of moral and ethical standards. History has shown us that many times. And here we are again.

Kind Regards,

And We're Off!!!

  Arrrgh!  Gotta go back into camera settings on my iPhone to bring all of the frame into focus.  Blast! Painting is underway on the 60 or so Minden Austrians, which are slated to become my version of the Anhalt-Zerbst Regiment of AWI renown.  More or less indistinguishable from Austrians of the era really, right down to the red facings and turnbacks, but the eventual flags (already in my files) will set them apart.   I went ahead and based-coated all of them over a couple of days lthe last week of August, using a mix of light gray and white acrylic gesso, before next applying my usual basic alkyd oil flesh tone to the faces and hands.  In a day or two, I'll hit that with Army Painter Flesh Wash to tone things down a bit and bring some definition to the faces and hands.   As usual, the plan is to focus on about 20 figures at a time, splitting the regiment roughly into thirds along with the color party and regimental staff.  Depending on ...

Sunday Morning Coffee with AI. . .

    A rmed with a second cup of fresh, strong coffee, I messed around a bit this morning with artlist.io using its image to image function in an attempt to convert my hand-drawn map from September 2006 to something that more resembles an old map from the mid-18th century.  And just like my experiments with Ninja AI in June, the results are mixed.   The above map is pretty good, but Artlist keeps fouling up the place names and has trouble putting a faint overlay of hexes across the entire area.  Hexes, admittedly, are not likely to be found on any genuine maps from the era in question, but there we are.  Frankly, I prefer the appearance of the Ninja map, but there were problems getting it to correct its errors.  Grrrr.  As is the case with so much having to do with the various AI's out there now, the output generated is a direct result of the prompts entered.  For text alone, and when you develop a lengthy, highly detailed prompt, it is...

Continued Regional Map Revisions. . .

F ooled around a bit more with the revised map just before and after dinner this evening, using the Fotor app to reinsert missing text .  I also removed a few other things using the 'Magic Eraser' function, which works surprisingly well.  Now, we're getting somewhere.  I just have to figure out how to ensure that the text is all a uniform font style and maybe figure out a way to add a few bunches of trees to suggest forested areas,  Ninja AI is not always entirely cooperative to the tune of "I'm sorry Dave.  I can't do that." -- Stokes
