Douglas E. Welch<p>Watching Blobs of Paint Move to Chopin Is Oddly Soothing via Mental Floss [Shared]</p><p>The video, which was shared by Colossal, comes from French visual artist Thomas Blanchard. Set to Chopin’s Nocturne Op., 9 No. 2 (E Flat Major), it features iridescent blobs swirling through seas of glittery colors. The mesmerizing visuals are a perfect match for the soothing piano melody. If you need to turn off your brain for four and half minutes, this short film acts as the perfect mental refresher. </p><p>Though it could easily be mistaken for high-quality CGI, Blanchard’s art is 100 percent practical. To make the trippy visuals in this video, he filmed paint, oil, and liquid soap interacting with each other. His work often zooms in on small scenes.</p><p><a href="https://welchwrite.com/blog/2025/02/28/watching-blobs-of-paint-move-to-chopin-is-oddly-soothing-via-mental-floss-shared/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">welchwrite.com/blog/2025/02/28</span><span class="invisible">/watching-blobs-of-paint-move-to-chopin-is-oddly-soothing-via-mental-floss-shared/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>video</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/practical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>practical</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/artwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>artwork</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/shared" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shared</span></a></p>

After realizing he wasn’t getting on with the Lego Builder app, he borrowed a ton of Lego bricks from his friend Gregory and set to work building the Legotron.</p><p><a href="https://welchwrite.com/blog/2025/02/24/this-large-format-camera-is-made-of-lego-and-it-takes-amazing-photos-via-digital-camera-world-shared/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">welchwrite.com/blog/2025/02/24</span><span class="invisible">/this-large-format-camera-is-made-of-lego-and-it-takes-amazing-photos-via-digital-camera-world-shared/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/camera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>camera</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/lego" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lego</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/build" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>build</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/bricks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bricks</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/project" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>project</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/shared" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shared</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/fun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fun</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a></p>

Douglas E. Welch<p>Exploring My 2024 Embroidery Journal Month by Month via The Stir-Crazy Crafter [Shared]</p><p>Everyday, I embroider an icon that represents my day. Whether that be a stack of pancakes because of what I had for breakfast, bunny ears because I planned an Easter Egg hunt at work, or even a frowny face because I had a rough day. At the end of the year, I accumulate 365 (or 366) icons on my 12 inch embroidery hoop. While 2024 started out quite slow, it steadily picked up as the pieces fell into place for my future.</p><p>This year was my fifth year creating an embroidery journal. At this point, I’ve embroidered over 1,800 icons across my journals. I’m so proud of the fact that I’ve managed to stick with something for such a long period of time. It’s been wonderful watching as my embroidery skills have increased and my life has progressed.</p><p><a href="http://welchwrite.com/blog/2025/02/07/exploring-my-2024-embroidery-journal-month-by-month-via-the-stir-crazy-crafter-shared/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">welchwrite.com/blog/2025/02/07</span><span class="invisible">/exploring-my-2024-embroidery-journal-month-by-month-via-the-stir-crazy-crafter-shared/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/calender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>calender</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/journal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journal</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/diary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diary</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/craft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>craft</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/life" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>life</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/shared" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shared</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/journaling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journaling</span></a></p>

Chuck Darwin<p>Stephen Wolfe grew up in Napa, California, <br>and his father was an admirer of the right-wing pundit and erstwhile GOP presidential candidate Pat Buchanan. </p><p>After attending West Point and serving in the Army, Wolfe earned advanced degrees before leaving academia to <br>“do the Wendell Berry thing” <br>in North Carolina with his wife and four kids.</p><p>Over the summer, Wolfe, 41, agreed to speak with me on the condition that I refer to him as “Dr. Wolfe” <br>and call him an “expert on Christian nationalism.” </p><p>The Dr. Wolfe I spoke with was a more muted version of the firebrand I’d watched online. </p><p>He said his ideal version of America would be led by a Caesar figure. </p><p>Gay marriage would be strictly prohibited. </p><p>Women would not be allowed to vote<br>—instead, men would vote for their households.</p><p>When I brought up the bit from his book about heretics being killed, he grew annoyed.</p><p> “I do think it’s permissible, in principle, for a state to suppress theological heresy, <br>but that doesn’t mean that it’s prudent or proper, <br>suitable in every circumstance or every tradition or way of life.” </p><p>The Founding Fathers, he added, had encouraged religious liberty, <br>so killing heretics would not be appropriate in the United States that we inhabit.</p><p>We turned to remarks he had made at a recent conference convened by Brian Sauvé:<br> “I think we need to reflect on this idea of Judeo-Christianity, <br>or Judeo-Christian worldview, <br>or Judeo-Christian whatever, <br>and really eradicate that from our thinking. </p><p>Because if we say that America is a <br>Judeo-Christian country, <br>then it can’t be a Christian country, okay?” </p><p>What role, I asked him, would Jews play? </p><p>After a deep sigh, he told me that they would be allowed to “exercise their religion freely.”</p><p>We spoke a week before Vance’s RNC speech, <br>and Wolfe’s remarks helped me understand what the TheoBros heard in Vance’s phrase about <br>"America as a people". </p><p>The founders, Wolfe noted, intended for their country to be “Anglo-Protestant with an American inflection.” </p><p>America, he continued, is “a place of settlement and rootedness, <br>but it’s an open ethnicity in which people can become one of us.” </p><p>Which is to say that, like some others, Wolfe is not necessarily opposed to the idea of nonwhite people in America<br>—as long as they agree to assimilate to the Anglo-Protestant dominant culture.</p><p>In this telling, America is not a pluralistic society at all, <br>but rather one in which there exists an uneasy truce between Christians and those they reluctantly tolerate. </p><p>Toward the end of our conversation, I asked Wolfe what motivated him. </p><p>“I want Christians to be more assertive and to recognize the Christian heritage of the American way of life, <br>and to seek to restore that,” he said. </p><p>“This is a Christian country, and we’ve got to work to restore it to what it once was"</p><p>In his keynote address at Sauvé’s conference, titled “Why Multicultural Pluralism Fails and What to Build Instead,” <br>Wolfe called the concept of America as a melting pot <br>“an early 20th-century idea cooked up by a Jew in New York who despised the confident Anglo-Protestant establishment.” </p><p>WASPs were the “distinct ethnicity” of America, he insisted, </p><p>and America should only welcome those who aspired to assimilate. </p><p>As he put it, “This is our homeland, and we welcome you on the condition of conformity.” </p><p>Or, in the words of JD Vance, America “is a group of people.”</p><p><a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/09/theobros-jd-vance-christian-nationalism/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"

Chuck Darwin<p>William Wolfe served in the Trump administration <br>both as the deputy assistant secretary of defense <br>and as director of House affairs at the Department of State. </p><p>He is also an alumnus of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Heritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Heritage</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Action</span></a>, <br>a sister organization of the Heritage Foundation, <br>the arch-conservative think tank behind Project 2025, <br>whose chief architect, Russell Vought, posted on X that he was “proud to work with @William_E_Wolfe on scoping out a sound Christian Nationalism.” </p><p>A few months later, the Bucks County Beacon uncovered a lengthy online manifesto on the goals of Christian nationalists. </p><p>The document, which listed Wolfe and Joel Webbon as contributing editors <br>and Oklahoma Sen. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dusty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dusty</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Deevers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Deevers</span></a> as a co-author, <br>called for “civil magistrates” to usher in 💥“the establishment of the Ten Commandments as the foundational law of the nation.”</p><p>The manifesto doesn’t specify exactly how Christian nationalists should achieve these goals. </p><p>As Tabachnick, the extremism researcher, interprets it, the TheoBros are imagining a utopia where “they are going to be free to be entrepreneurs in all different senses, <br>including the tech world that they’re mixing with so freely.” </p><p>The key, she said, is that authoritarianism “is required to have the utopian vision.”</p><p>Last year, the extremism watchdog group Right Wing Watch posted a video of Wolfe quoting a scripture passage. <br>There are times when “even the God of peace proclaims by his providence, ‘to arms!’” he says. </p><p>“If we have ever lived in a point of time in American history since then that we could argue that now is a time ‘to arms’ again, I think we are getting close.”</p><p>William Wolfe’s Christian nationalism manifesto made the rounds on social media, <br>but in mainstream conservative outlets, <br>it was <a

rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wolfe</span></a> <br>(no relation to William)<br>who brought TheoBro ideas to the wider world. </p><p>In his book, which was praised by editors at the Federalist and the American Conservative, <br>Wolfe paints America as a “<a href="https://c.im/tags/gynocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gynocracy</span></a>” whose government and culture have been feminized by unhappy women leaders. <br>(Sound familiar?) </p><p>He has stated on X that women should not have the right to vote, and that “interethnic” marriage can be “sinful.”</p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"

Chuck Darwin<p>One eager customer is 38-year-old TheoBro <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Andrew</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Isker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Isker</span></a><br>—the pastor who interned at Wilson’s church, <br>studied divinity at New Saint Andrews, <br>and co-wrote a book on Christian nationalism with <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Andrew</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Torba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Torba</span></a>, <br>the openly antisemitic CEO of the social media platform <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gab</span></a>. </p><p>In July, Isker announced on X that he planned to move his family of seven to lead a church in a New Founding community in Tennessee. </p><p>Life in his native Minnesota, he said, had become untenable because of permissive laws around trans rights and abortion, <br>not to mention how hospitable the state has been to <a href="https://c.im/tags/refugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>refugees</span></a>. </p><p>“Minnesota is one of the top destinations for resettling foreign people hostile to our way of life,” he said.</p><p>That month, Isker spoke at a Texas conference about the <br>“war on white America” <br>alongside <a href="https://c.im/tags/Paul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Paul</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gottfried" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gottfried</span></a>, <br>the mentor of prominent white nationalist <a href="https://c.im/tags/Richard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Richard</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Spencer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spencer</span></a>. </p><p>The conference was hosted by the "True Texas Project", <br>a far-right group with ties to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.</p><p>Like many TheoBros, <br>Isker sees much to like in Vance. </p><p>In early July, before Trump announced his running mate, Isker referred to him as <br>“Senator JD Vance (R-Heritage America).” </p><p>In late July, he posted a video of Vance and told his 29,000 followers, <br>“You need to double down on childless cat lady discourse. <br>Kamala sees happy, large families and hates them. <br>She wants them destroyed. <br>She wants you to never be able to have this. <br>She is a nasty, bitter harridan who hates all that is true, good, and beautiful.”</p><p>One problem is that there simply are not enough TheoBros to populate Christian communities like the one Isker plans to move to. </p><p>Enter <a

Convention that it, <br>the largest of all Protestant denominations in the United States, <br>has fallen prey to the corrupting forces of liberalism. </p><p>Baptists are only the beginning. </p><p>Wolfe wants to win over the entire evangelical mainstream, <br>which he and other TheoBros refer to as “<a href="https://c.im/tags/Big" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener

he posted on X, <br>“Once you realize that Big Eva thinks it’s a bigger sin to desire to preserve the customs, heritage, values, and cultural homogeneity of your own nation <br>than to kill the unborn in the womb, you can better understand their moral framework.”</p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Josh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Josh</span></a>
