It was fascinating to learn how the Wood Mill Lab partners solve problems and use classic techniques and parts to create amazing wood furniture.

FINISHED WITH ALCHEMY

Wood Mill Lab engineers enduring magic into custom furniture!

Wood Mill Lab has furnished elegant flourishes at Atlanta restaurants such as Bar Blanc, Aziza and Little Sparrow since opening on the Upper Westside in 2014.

Owners Chris Hagen and Jeff Chambers have built custom bars, tables and other fixtures for commercial spaces as far away as Scotland. For the Woodlark Hotel in Portland, Oregon, they crafted a 30-foot-long lighted cabinet in eight sections to be assembled on site by workers they never met.

But the hospitality industry feels stale for Hagen, 64, and Chambers, 48. All-consuming commercial jobs that can last two years hurt the quality of life Hagen has with his partner, artist Lee Arnett, and Chambers has with his wife, Alisa, and their two children.

So Wood Mill Lab is emphasizing residential work for more creativity, fun and completion within a month. “We’re taking some of what we’ve learned and putting that into our residential furniture,” Hagen says. “We’re building something that lasts generationally that doesn’t look like it’s a plastic piece of crap.”

Native Midwesterners Chambers, who designs and fabricates the furniture, and Hagen, who applies the finishes, know all about generational quality.

Chambers’ family worked as tool and die makers for General Motors, and he brings the aesthetics of car interiors to furniture. He also uses screws and bolts collected by a grandfather who “would cross a parking lot if he saw something shiny.”

Hagen’s grandfather was an industrial engineer who took apart motors for fun and designed fiberglass boats. He finds inspiration in old-school wood finishes that preserve yachts’ beauty.

“We both come from art backgrounds, and making functional art is really what we do,” Hagen says...

No one knows self-righteous certainty in this debate better than Peter Beinart.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Highly recommend @PeterBeinart’s response to the viral Sam Harris essay about how Harris refuses to even debate critics of Israel. Beinart unravels his argument line by line and shows how ridiculous that kind of self-righteous certainty is in this debate.

Now ask Khanna what he thinks of Platner continuing to lie about the "toxic and wrong" behavior and how that fits with his redemption story.

[Selina Wang @selinawangtv]

Spoke to Rep. Ro Khanna in Maine, where he stumped for Graham Platner

I asked how he squares backing him. Khanna: "What he did was toxic and wrong"

Told me the PTSD Platner went through doesn't "excuse" his behavior, but he believes in "redemption"

Also, making an analogy where the West is the defender of the beaches - you know, where the Nazis were - is not the smartest speechifying, even for the man some inside the Pentagon refer to as "Dumb McNamara"

On June 6, 1967, Foreign Minister Abba Eban told the U.N. that Israel had acted in self-defense in striking Egypt the previous day. He argued that peace required recognition, direct negotiations and secure borders.

We're supposed to believe that he never had a thought about politics until last year. But also that when he finally, regrettably realized what was on his chest, he kept it for fear of the future political optics.
Occam's Razor would like a word.

[Zaid Jilani @ZaidJilani]

FWIW I do think Platner figured out the tattoo sometime within the last 18 years but if he had it covered up five years ago the story would’ve been he’s trying to hide his Nazi past. The way he handled it was the best way to politically handle it.

Anthony Head, the British actor best known for his roles in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Ted Lasso,” has died at 72.

Things most Americans agree on:

Groceries cost too much.

Tariffs suck and make no sense.

Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.

The debt is a mess.

The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.

Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.

Americans are exhausted.

AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.

Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.

Canadians are super fucking cool.

Mexicans are chill.

Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.

Good neighbors are a blessing.

Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.

We all question, are we alone in the universe?

We all fuck up along the way.

Epstein didn’t hang himself.

The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.

The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!

Things we’re told to fight about:

Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.

That’s the joke.
