Not the worst, but quite possibly the weirdest opinion article to come out of WaPo since the Bezos takeover.

Not the worst, but quite possibly the weirdest opinion article to come out of WaPo since the Bezos takeover.

It's an editorial guy essentially writing a fanfic about Doug Ducey running for president. Not an analysis of what such a presidency would entail, but a literal first-person fanfiction about this random Romney analogue (right down to his qualifications as a former governor and slimy CEO) essentially running an imaginary button-down MAGA campaign based around ending SotU addresses and pushing school choice or something. It's surreal as fuck, and to me it's a testament to how far this paper has fallen. Apparently the guy who wrote this piece has worked for the Post since the 70s and has won a Pulitzer, so maybe I'm just missing something here, but this reads like someone playing with his politician dolls on paper and somehow getting paid to do so.

Mossie Point Ball Park ('25)

Pretty proud of this one. Nestled in some overgrown Maine resort town-turned coastal hub, this small-size (about 28,000-seater) jewel-box throwback maintains a throwback yet modernized vibe while presenting picturesque inlet views of the vast Atlantic beyond. Technically, this was my most ambitious project yet. The limited terrain options made mountain modeling a pain, but I think the end result looks alright from the stadium's forced perspective. This was also my first experiment in jerry-rigging outfield wall advertising, and yes, a perfectly fine evening was wasted wrestling with the creator's byzantine dimension controls in order to line up the panel props in a semi-coherent manner. Again, though, I think the end result turned out pretty damn good given SC's stupid, stupid limitations in this department. There are also a bunch of fun idiosyncrasies that you can play with to fit your franchise's headcanon (for instance, what does that mysterious singular red wall panel out to right represent?) and really make this place your own. It's not DD-compatible, of course, and it's stuck on last year's game, but if you're looking for a New England vibe that kinda fills that space between Portland and Cape Cod, then this might be the park for you.

In honor of the Big Ted's passing. Uncopyrighted and pre-'89, of course, but semi-unpublished (it's out there, but it was never officially released). Do you think it's PD?
