I just cracked the code... Trump's invading PO(rt)LAND. Get it? It's just another Nazi dog whistle.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Happy Neko Case Album Drop Day to all who observe. #NekoCae

I’m drawing strength from this fugitive tomato plant, growing from a crack in an alley downtown… I hope it bears fruit before the freeze. #MetaphorsAreEverywhere

I just contributed to Francesca Hong’s run for Governor of Wisconsin, because that’s the leadership I want. Lots of great candidates in the primary though.

The selfie I've been using is approaching double digits, so I thought I'd upload a new one that's more reflective of what I look like today, namely grayer and more beardier.

Authoritarianism is like measles: Ignore it and it will go away. I have this guidance straight from Secretary Kennedy. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

I'd missed this story. I'm at a point where I can only cope with the news for about 5 minutes a day.

I wrote a thing. As someone who survived the 1970s and kept the receipts.

Can't overstate how Google's AI Overview is hitting arts criticism. Until recently, you found a bunch of top reviews for a new exhibition, play or film via search. Now you get an AI overview. Traffic is falling away. observer.com/2025/08/arts...

Is it me or is today's crop especially nonsensical?

Idling at an antique mall, a man comes across a little yellow Kodak box. "What is it?" he says and takes it off the shelf. It's a lens hood, yellow filter, and UV filter made to fit his Kodak from 1954. "This is the kind of consumerism I can get behind," he murmured to himself. #BelieveInFilm

Finally getting around to developing and scanning some film. Here are a few. Fishermen, Freighter, Fox River, #GreenBay, 2025 (Canon LTM 35mm f/2) Frozen Waterfall, #GreenBay, 2025 (Nikkor 35mm f/2) Wetland, #DoorCounty, 2025 #KodakXX #HC110 ###FilmIsNotDead, #BelieveInFilm #Wisconsin #IShootFilm

“Next two weeks” (as in Trump will decide on attacking Iran in the next two weeks) usually means never going to happen.

It was Halloween in NYC circa the millennium. I was dressed as a monkey with fez and cymbals; Leonardo di Caprio was dressed as a newsboy (clearly 'borrowed' from wardrobe). We crossed paths on an empty street. He looked disapproving of my costume and I of his. To this day, we remain enemies.

Whoo hoo! I know some people for whom this will be amazing news.

I once stepped onto a NYC subway car and realized I was the only man on it without a mustache; still traumatized.

Boomers need to retire.

The primary energy fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with equivalent amount of clean energy. BUT: Not necessary because conversion losses don’t need to be replaced. 2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat. knowledge.energyinst.org/new-energy-w...

We celebrated Pinhole Photography Day by making a camera with Nick D. at the Photo Opp in Appleton, WI. On Sunday, the youngest and I did a photowalk in an industrial part of town. Very cool. The populist takes 120 film. Here are the plans: tinyurl.com/mpdxh8w #BelieveInFilm #Wisconsin #IShootFilm

I've mentioned that we have a very small food production company called uBu Foods. I wrote a little post about our kitchen on the occasion of our sublessee moving in this month. This kitchen was our sanctuary during the early months of the pandemic. I owe a lot of sanity to the place.

I'm IU Class of '97. This makes me very sad this evening.

We have a food company in the US. In '23, I spent a month researching how to export to Canada. We went far down that road before deciding that we should wait. We're just 2 people who do all the work ourselves. This stuff impacts regular people. Can't imagine having a 'T' slapped on our product.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

Great perspective and insight into what the decimation of NEH does on the ground. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

People may not realize that state humanities organizations get most of their funding from the NEH. I've written (and received) two Wisconsin Humanities Council grants, so I know how important they can be to a community. Please click through to contact your legislators! #humanities #wisconsin #neh

Jesus, it's all so stupid.

I want the rest of the country to know that Wisconsin actually is very cool, and that it’s a state that’s just gerrymandered to all hell.

Hey #BelieveInFilm community! Does anyone have plastic negative sleeves that hold 35mm film cut into strips of 4? I need just 8 of them. Happy to pay.
