Bari Weiss goes full propganda-arm of piggy's empire. _Entire_ literate population of the known universe: Called it! #USpolitics #fashy #notsurprised

while USAmerica under piggy is renaming things like DoD to dept. of war, how are they missing the obvious change of DoJ to dept. of corruption?? #bondi #uspolitics #worstpeople

So, if pete hagueseth even tweets support of piggy's social media declaration that USAmerica is at war with venezuela, does the US immediately become the subject of all the same sanctions as, say, russia? for being a rogue aggressor state? or do we hide behind "locker room talk again." #USpolitics

we should fix that.

there was a time when, particularly with portraits, i was vexed if they weren't tack sharp. now, in the era of computational over-sharpening? i'm starting to warm to it as something distinct from phone photography, and i like it! #Lumix #LX100 #portrait #photography #cutie #partner

at some point, for gaslighting to be successful, the audience needs to eager, or at least willing, to huff the gas. maga's ideological commitment isn't to democracy, or even reality. that won't end with piggy. #uspol #politics

the 2020s have put the last spear through my hopes for class-consciousness becoming an organising political force. watching poor people scramble to fall for the same old propaganda from, objectively, the dumbest oligarchs ever? we're mean when we're scared, and we spook on command. #politics #sigh

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

i have newtonian cats who've offered no opinions on the superposition of their kibble, choosing instead to focus on a conditioned behaviour paradigm: demanding food at all times observably leads to more food. maybe not at all times, but that was likely never the goal. they win.

I just read the sentence “just because it’s stupid doesn’t mean it won’t inherit the Earth”

Every year now, when I go to Thorndon Fair, I have eerie flashbacks to walking up Tinakori Rd. during the lockdown and feeling like I was in zombie movie. I much prefer the populated version, even if the Covid denialism makes me wince. #street #wellington #AoNZ #photography

i'll be chuffed if Dems get the House back

As the inaugural winner of the FIFA Left Handed Fruit Photographer Prize …I am taking the day off from chores to bask in my accomplishment #fruit #photography #goodgrief

i love non-computational cameras. i love standard transmission cars. it's clear to me they're anachronisms. it's hard not to be a bit sad that almost no one will experience those loves going forward. but, that's the way of things. my beloved antiques, shot by my iPhone 16. #photography #nostalgia

We didn’t hit it twice We did hit it twice and that’s legal The Admiral did it We didn’t see them I’m in the fog of war and you’re not even though I am right where you are

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

In the immortal words of the great 21st century poet Ludacris: “Move, bitch (gender neutral), get out the way, Get out the way, bitch (gender neutral), get out the way”

Goodbye to the master. ❤️

Pete Hagueseth. We should make it a thing.

I sometimes feel like the horse and buggy driver just watching cars making me irrelevant but also *murdering people and making them dumber.*

Miss Piggy FTW

let's just call 'em Trumpkins. the Know Nothings of this and future eras. the placeholder for anti-democratic sellouts of all stripes. #uspol #politics

Tech Oligarchs: hey, we now own everything humans have ever produced, historic and in the future, and you get to pay us for them. Lots of People <<alarmed>> : da fuq?! No you don’t! Enough People: <<shrug>> Sound of Tech Oligarchs counting money #dafuq #capitalism #theft #art #politics

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Well, damn. Paix à son âme. He was magnificent. #tchéky #karyo #rip

i do think we've an unfortunate abbreviation with Te Whanganui-A-Tara. That's ok, tho; Pōneke is heaps shorter anyway!

consumer spending sentiment is at the lowest since both 2008 and 2020. did something bad happen in both those periods

@kaimatai.bsky.social @paullecomtephoto.nz @richardmortimer.bsky.social @dimitrymak.co and all photogs of bsky, y'all seen the promotional material for Caira, the Ai, interchangeable lens, m43 body that attaches by Magsafe to an iPhone, and Google's Nano Banana? Thoughts? #photography
