Second try at shooting a tintype (this time a self portrait) was more of a success. It was mostly flawless until some of the emulsion began to pull away during the drying process. But it's definitely an improvement over the first go. #largeformatphotography #filmphotography

First try shooting a tintype and I'm calling this a semi-success. It's underexposed or underdeveloped and leaning towards the latter. Need to get the chemistry dialed in (and rinse this with photoflo because it's a dust magnet) #filmphotography #largeformatphotography

Gonna be a bummer when a bunch of scalper bots resell the Epstein files at a markup

incredible

I think the bit where a person convinces the AI vending machine to embrace communism is my favorite part.

Doing photography 1800s style. Had my first successful development of a glass plate photo. Looking forward to doing more of these + trying out tintypes/ambrotypes. #filmphotography #largeformatphotography

I looked this device up and this is just the thing from Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age, where it's an AI companion for wealthy kids but the AI is actually just a low wage human actor on the other end because that's actually cheaper.

Zak Brown really gives "guy who writes inspirational LinkedIn posts" energy

Stumbled into a group of historical reenactors today while I had my 4x5 camera and wound up shooting some photos of them #filmphotography #largeformatphotography

This may be the most off-putting restaurant concept imaginable washingtonian.com/2025/12/03/a...

Huh this is new...

The quote is absurd but also... has Joe Rogan always broadcast from the bridge of the USS Enterprise?

I enjoy that this makes it sound like a newspaper full of top secret boat news

Ok but it would be a funny bit to just refer to everyone and everything that annoys you as "a tool of the antichrist"

Task season 2 is gonna be Mark Ruffalo solving the murder of Kevin Patullo. And all of Philadelphia is gonna be guilty.

Took my kid to a cat cafe this morning. Many cats were pet.

Imagining Thanksgiving dinner at Mar a Lago as Trump looks at Eric and Don Jr and goes "Why can't you be more like that nice Mamdani boy?"

I have not laughed this hard in a while

There are few more deflating feelings in the modern era than seeing a cute animal video and then realizing you've been duped by AI.

Adding "If you don't know what I'm talking about you shouldn't be owning a McDonald's" as a nonsequitor at the end of every argument I make from now on

You vs the worm he tells you not to worry about

Walked into a thrift store on a whim, walked out with a new darkroom enlarger. #filmphotography

Worked for a while on this one in the dark room. Pretty happy with how this print came out.

I sometimes wonder if the guys who created the Expanse books/TV show wish they'd picked a different name for the technology that underpins their entire sci-fi universe.

"lizards crawl into her kitchen" - I thought she wasn't seeing RFK Jr anymore?

OK, but a Kennedy saying they would "take a bullet for you" is darkly funny

@ztul.bsky.social @ckunzelman.bsky.social The question about Roland and his hat - and the upcoming Tolkien unit- reminded me of how Tolkien discovered he never actually mentioned that Gollum was small when Tove Jannson drew him like this in the Finnish version

Googled to find out if there's a new John Oliver episode tonight and was informed by Google's AI that somehow today is Saturday but also today is not the Weekend and so there is no new episode. There is, in fact, a new episode. @lastweektonight.com

It's darkly funny how many seemingly "responsible" politicians will leap at "no one wants to be Neville Chamberlain" when it comes to opposing wars, but also believe you can trust the word of a fascist when it comes to keeping Americans fed and healthy.

@kaine.senate.gov Know that if you give into the fascists I will do everything I can to support anyone who decides to primary you. Read the room and grow a spine.

Chuck Schumer’s decision making this week alone (between Mamdani and this CR debacle) should be absolutely disqualifying to leadership. I dare one rank-and-file Senate Democrat who believes this to say it out loud.

I haven't seen a ton of people talking about The Lowdown and, having now seen the finale, it deserves a big audience. A beautiful show that draws you in on the promise of a good mystery (it delivers) but sneaks in a poignant story about the importance of weirdos and misfits in a cynical world.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

hell yeah eugene debs

“We won because we insisted that politics is no longer something that is done to us. Now it is something we do.” Every single word of this Mamdani speech is fucking fire.

"Let the prose we write rhyme" Man, it feels good to feel this way for once

one thing that other candidates need to learn from mamdani is how to deliver the most cold blooded attacks on an opponent with a smile on your face
