Past me ordered a set of lightweight camera wrist straps a long time ago, and I don't think that guy gets enough credit.

Dug up two LR-44 button batteries and loaded it. Looks like the light meter, shutter and advance lever all work! Time to take this little beauty out for a spin. #ChinonBellami #BelieveInFilm

If the most powerful man in the world is granted unlimited authority to use the wheels of justice to carry out personal vengeance, there's practically nobody who can't be indicted for alleged crimes. If no wrongdoing is found, it will be manufactured. The system is broken.

At long last, Tiktok will no longer be a platform for Chinese propaganda! Now it'll advance an American White Christian Nationalist propaganda. It's what Jesus died for, or something. #TikTok

We have arrived at a place where White Christian supremacy is more mainstream than not.

I was listening to my new Alestorm CD while driving to my after-hours work assignment last night, and I heard this short song for the first time. As soon as it reached the chorus, I was laughing out loud. I'm still laughing this morning (despite being super tired). Yes, I'm 12 years old. 😂

I am getting used to the 35mm on the #xpan I have now discovered the sheer height of the rise when put into the context of a city center. Normally when using rise I use a small tripod. Here its on a full height which takes me higher off the ground, so lesson learned. #glasgow #filmphotography

Talk about Rapture predictions may cause a bit of unease for some of you. For those of us who grew up with the constant anxiety of being left behind to face the horrors of the great tribulation, it brought years of torment. Relax, there will be no Rapture today - or ever.

Our lead tech has discovered the term "triage," and is using it liberally at every opportunity. It's driving me nuts. I go out of my way to avoid business lingo. Let's just talk like normal people, please.

I'm old enough to remember when research by qualified scientists guided our government's decisions. #FDA

What were we talking about again? Oh yeah!

AI gone rogue: Models may try to stop people from shutting them down, Google warns

I'm not interested in a pissing match over your choice of camera gear. Use whatever works for you, and just take the freaking pictures.

Here's a prophetic word you can bank on: On September 25th, thereabouts, Pastor Joshua Mhlakela will announce that his prediction was indeed, correct. He was just off by a day or a year, or it really did happen but it was invisible. How can we be sure? That's how it always works. #Rapture

Took my X100V with the new Plus-X 125 recipe selected to downtown Knoxville today. I changed the base Acros sim to "Acros + Ye" for a bit of enhanced contrast. Some of these feel very close to real Plus-X, especially the one with the guy on the forklift. All photos are SOOC. #X100V

Fuji X Weekly has published a brand new Kodak Plus-X 125 film simulation. Plus-X was one of my favorite films, so I had to try it out right away. I often skip adding "grain," but this time I followed the recipe to the letter. Here's Trixie, shot under existing light, SOOC. #FujifilmX100V

"All your family and friends are flocking to CoPilot+ PCs! You don't want to be left out of the fun, do you? Screw the environment: throw out last year's PC, and buy the latest!" #FOMO

Saw this article posted this morning. Our new parent company uses Workday. This afternoon, we had an all-hands zoom where one of the company big wigs waxed eloquent about plans to incorporate more AI into the business. Oddly, as a peon in the corporate org chart, I didn't find that encouraging. 🙄

Trump has it out for a lot of people, but he really doesn't like Black women.

Mischaracterizing antifa as "terrorism" is a thinly veiled ploy to stifle free speech. It's intended to frighten us into silence. How fascists leaders label dissent has varied, but the goals are the same. It's not alarmist to decry what's unfolding before our very eyes. #DoNotObeyInAdvance

When freedom is under fire you can count on me to ramble and mutter incoherently.

If I buy a custom sticker that says, "Proud Member of Antifa," and stick it on my car window, will I be prosecuted as a major terrorist under Trump's proposed law? I already have one sticker on my car that says, "Ban Fascists, Read Books." So maybe I'm already on a list. 🤷‍♂️ #Antifa

I have a roll or two of the original Phoenix Color 200 in the freezer. I think it might look really good with the Chinon Bellami and its subtle vignetting.

I'm mostly GAS-free, but tonight I jumped on a camera deal that's too good to pass up: a Chinon Bellami in good condition and tested (so the seller says). I already one own, but my copy has gradually fallen apart with age. I love the cuckoo clock doors, and the look the Bellami lens imparts.

Surprisingly, nobody ever asks about my Casio G-Shock Step Tracker watch. It reliably reports the date and time, and accurately tracks my daily steps — just like it says in the ad copy. I hate to boast, but it retails for close to US $100. If we ever meet in person, I might let you touch it. #Casio

I very much agree with the quote in the meme you posted, which is why I suspect it may be fraudulent. Always be suspicious of things that confirm your biases.

Ray Bradbury's "Dandelion Wine" is on sale in eBook format for $2.99 on Amazon. I just bought my copy, and devoured the introduction. I think I'm going to enjoy this book. It's the first work of fiction I've picked up in a while. #RayBradbury

I've never understood why social media platforms highlight topics that are "trending." Am I supposed to be motivated to talk about those topics so I can be one of the cool kids? Join me in resisting what's popular to generate new and unlikely trends. #WWMLD #MichaelLandon

"Some men improve the world only by leaving it." Oscar Wilde.

Reading "The Not-So-Intelligent Designer," by Abby Hafer. She writes about Trofim Lysenko, who persuaded Stalin that Darwin was wrong, and that offspring could inherit characteristics acquired by the parents. He was made head of agriculture. The results were disastrous. Lysenko was their RFK, Jr.

These cases are now available for your Fujifilm X100VI. They're just like the cases that came on older cameras that I always remove and throw away. I find them awkward to handle and ugly to look at. 🤷‍♂️

According to a post someone shared, I can't understand 2025 politics without understanding Gamergate. Had to look that one up. Apparently it's well-known to people who do a lot of gaming. The last big game I bought was Half-Life 2. It was released in 2004. I barely played it.

The power is struggling to stay on at our house. The lights keep flickering, and my UPS units are clicking on and off. Not sure why, as there don't appear to be any storms in the area.

I didn't drive to Cades Cove this morning, but wildlife came to us as we were heading out the door. Fortunately, I had camera ready in hand. #Deer #FujinonXF100400

Trying to decide if I'm motivated to go take photos in the mountains today because I really want to, or because I feel like I should take advantage of the weekend to play with my new long lens, 'cause I'm not feeling a burning desire to go. 🤔

A few test shots by the marina with the XF100-400. All shot at a minimum shutter speed of 1/2000. One of these is not like the others, but I wanted to see if I could get a reasonably clear shot at a distance where my eyes couldn't make out details in the boats. #FujifilmXT5 #OakRidgeTN
