Does 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" count as a "dead format" for the #shittycamerachallenge if there is still one Chinese company making the film? I've got a box of Shanghai Film and a day off Monday. Also, if anyone knows of a source of higher ISO BW film in that size I'd much appreciate it.

These are really good doughnuts but I need them to calm down

It’s clear from the video this woman had just come to the park to play with her child. She said as much and was upset that there were masked men with guns in the park. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino calls the woman an “activist” and Andy Ngo says the woman was using her child as a “human shield.”

I supposed there is a category for industrial park churches?

Well that's tripe. Frozen tripe was not ready to heat, put it in a pressure cooker. Going into the bin; look it was pasteurised by heat and pressure 12 hours ago, stayed sealed, but I'm not going to find out if it's well canned a week before holidays.

King tides bring a glimpse of the future, as sea levels rise. This photo is the highway north out of SF, in Sausalito. Imagine the billions of dollars to be spent on adaptation just in the Bay Area.

Australia is paying $750m to a US prison company and $2.5bn in a secret deal to Nauru, yet the hundred or so asylum seekers in Nauru are starving. It’s called corruption, and someone in authority should look into it.

Remarkable to see this finally being uttered out loud but I'm wondering why it took half a decade (including three years under the Labor gov't) for it to be even acknowledged as a problem. The Free Market sucks at causing a rapid energy transition. Gov't policy can potentially not suck.

North Sydney Council really need to do something about the Miller St south exit to Victoria Cross station. A ton of pedestrians verses traffic trying to race for a green line. Dicey!

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

A: Who gives a fuck apart from racists? B: His figure is wrong. 71.2% of Glaswegian children speak English as their first language. C: So that's 28.8% who speak it as a second and I'll bet you they speak brilliant English and that it's much better than most Reform voters I've met online.

There’s also 0 evidence that Waymos are sufficiently replacing human car trips. The data from Uber and Lyft’s similar rollout suggests that Waymo might actually be replacing transit/walking/biking trips more than *half* the time. That’s a lot of extra cars on the road for minimal returns in safety.

speaking of which there's TOO MANY FUCKING CARS AAAAAAAAAA

when i'm on the bus on chestnut street and traffic is totally bunged up from taxi pickup and drop-offs and it's faster to walk, that problem isn't alleviated whether the taxis are autonomous or merely unlicensed and app-based

i don't get the love for waymo in certain urbanist circles. it's safer cars, at least it seems that way from available data, but it's more cars. more cars are bad! we should want less cars!
