What would you add? Cheers!

The only things purchased new was the TVs, and the ceiling. Frig was purchased used from FB and painted black, the cabinet were built by my uncle and wood was purchased from a farm auction. The bar tops came out of bar that was being taken down. The mirror was a freebie. The red walls are 3/4" cabinet grade plywood from a cabinet company that closed up. The shelf near the ceiling holding the conetop cans came from a closed Shopko. One can build something great with limited funds.

If there's more than one way to do it please let me know.

GOD-EMPEROR CHICKENS OUT

The Saviour of Mar-a-Lago Posts Jesus Meme, Immediately Blames the Red Cross

By GC

On Easter Sunday (Orthodox Easter, no less) the President of the United States posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ, healer of the sick, light of the world, and presumably winner of every election in human history by a landslide.

The image showed Trump draped in white and red robes, one hand resting on the forehead of a sick man, the other radiating divine light. It looked like it was generated by a laptop that had seen one Renaissance painting and had a fever.

Adding to the cosmic horror, the AI-generated image included a mysterious horned creature lurking in the heavens above him. Art experts said not to read into it. Art experts have clearly never covered this administration.

Trump posted this masterpiece shortly after publishing a lengthy attack on Pope Leo XIV. First, destroy the Pope. Then, become God. Normal Tuesday. Except it was Sunday.

The backlash from his own base was swift. Conservative Catholic podcast host Michael Knowles urged him to delete it. A Gen Z MAGA commentator called it “gross blasphemy.” When you’ve lost the people who dress as Crusaders at your rallies, you’ve misjudged the room.

So Trump did something he almost never does. He took it down.

Then came the explanation.

Trump told reporters he thought the image depicted him as “a doctor” with ties to the Red Cross. There was no Red Cross in the image. There was a horned demon in the sky. These are different things.

JD Vance, converted Catholic and author of an upcoming book about his faith, went on Fox News to explain that it was a joke, and that Trump removed it because people weren’t understanding his humour. The humour being: what if I were Jesus? Comedy gold!!

Axios reported that before posting, Trump discussed the meme with Bill Pulte, his housing finance chief, who was with him at Mar-a-Lago that weekend. Two of the most powerful men in the country, huddled together on a Sunday night, workshopping a Christ meme. The empire is in good hands.

By Wednesday, Trump had posted a second AI image (this time of Jesus embracing him from behind, American flag in the background) and wrote that “The Radical Left Lunatics might not like this, but I think it is quite nice.”

He learned nothing. He never does. That’s the point.

This is the man 81 million people voted for because they wanted someone to speak plainly. He speaks plainly. He is telling you, in AI pixels, exactly what he thinks he is. Not a public servant. Not even a president in any traditional sense. A figure beyond accountability, beyond criticism, beyond the reach of popes, courts, or basic image literacy.

The demon in the clouds wasn’t a glitch.

It was the most honest part of the picture.

Back on November 23, 2024 I had the idea to turn my unfinished, cluttered basement into my dream 80s/90s retro lounge.

This started as a completely unused, dusty basement… and slowly turned into "The Retro Retreat".

I’ve been piecing it together over time with mostly Facebook Marketplace, thrift store finds, and a few gifted items. No big budget—just a vision and a lot of patience.

Wanted a space that feels like stepping back into the 80s/90s. Somewhere to hang out with family, watch old movies, listen to music, and just unplug for a while.

It’s still a work in progress, but it finally feels like it has its own vibe instead of just being a basement.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions for the next weekend upgrade? 🔥

I have a view out basement with a built in bar. It's all white other than the accent wall behind the bar that I painted. Trying to turn it into the one room of the house that is mine towards an aviation themed man cave. Any ideas for painting? Pictures are how it's currently set up. Trying to get rid of the white.

As the title states, I could use a reality check on a quote I received for a 30'x40'x12' pole barn and a 3'x56' walkway.

The quote is supposed to include everything from permits and drawings to groundwork and a 6" concrete floor and a complete barn with 3 windows, 2 10x10 insulated doors and 1 36" man door. this does not include any side or roof insulation.

is this the real cost of a full turnkey pole barn or am I crazy?

thanks in advance everyone!

Currently in school getting my Masters Degree and I spend an un-godly amount of time here doing research and HW so it needs to be perfect!

Had to make do with a Open area downstairs and an extra Bedroom

I need a floor... at least I have cat?

My Space. My Way 😈

Hi everyone, in the first two pictures (sorry, I have too many RGBs in them, but I don’t have a picture without all the lights), you can see my actual gaming room in the man cave. I wanted to improve the right corner to create a good shooting set for pictures of products I sometimes review. I used wood panels, but I want to enhance the look. Do you have any suggestions? I was thinking of using a couple of shelves with plants (but it’s very dark, so I need fake plants or growth lamps), or any other suggestions? I was looking for small LED strips that can be inserted into the black gaps, but I’m not sure how to search for them online.

Any other suggestions are appreciated.
