Kodak Gold loves autumm foliage. First experience with #homescanning and playing with NegativeLabPro, and enjoying how it does turn the Leiden park to gold.

I'm no political strategist, but the datadump of Epstein e-mails feels like some people on the Hill are just done and have chosen the nuclear option. I get the sense this is the political equivalent of the Hiroshima strike: play ball unless you want us to drop another one like this.

The average university student's email reminders for due dates are more securely protected than France's premier museum. That tracks, I suppose...

Now that we have another insane story out there regarding Autism and Tylenol, it probably bears pointing out - especially for those hanging onto the disputed Harvard study - that AT BEST thatvis a highly disputed hypothesis suggesting it MAYBE plays a role in COMBINATION with a LOT of other factors.

Zeer schizofreen stukje journalisme waarin Kirk worden geschaard onder "radicale vrijheid van meningsuiting" terwijl zijn uitspraken in NL wettelijk haatzaaien en discriminatie vallen, en Nollkaemper's opmerkingen over zelfcensuur uit hun verband getrokken lijken om een cryptofascist tot nut te zijn

www.reuters.com/world/uk/new... Few things underscore "tyranny" quite like a state institution fearfully and desperately suppressing the work of a world-renowned artist

www.reuters.com/world/americ... Indiscriminate murder like this got Dutuerte on the ICC's wanted list, and Venezuela could probably just take this to the Maritime Tribunal as a violation of seafaring rights. If you aim to be cruel at every level, you *will* end up finding the one that punishes you.

Ah yes, the *checks notes* 19th century unelected despotic ruler, 20th century fashist and 21st century neo-nazi and neo-tsarist school of architecture and city planning.

In an age of social media enshittification and the wave of AI slop, suddenly those words from 1930 art historian dissidents like #Horkheimer and #Adorno seem almost prophetic. Per Cothren and d'Alleva, Methods and Theories of Art History, 2005

Some more #Battletech mini's "finished". My #periphery #magistracyofcanopus based mercenary unit is reinforced by a 'dedicated heavy recon lance' and very definitely not whatever they found in the bargain lots at Discount Dan's Pretty Okay Battlemechs and Bubba J's Mechoplex.

Today we lost a photographer who was capable of capturing both the romance and the rawness of Italy and Venezia in particular. Addio signore Berengo Gardin. May your work forever stand as a testament and a legacy. www.reuters.com/world/italia...

Day at the zoo

bbc.com/news/article... While non-binding, this is a rare spot of actual good news and a small ray of hope in holding nations accountable for their inaction on climate change.

Missing mornings like this at #luxortemple in #Egypt. Nothing beats the play of light and shaow created by the morning light. #nikonzf #travelphotography #ancientegypt #ancientruins #ancienttemple

Had a half second to sit down again and get some more #battletech minis done. A lance of #galedonregulars to join the coordinator under the #draconiscombine banner.

I don't often get up to much with 'em, But I like to paint me some stompy robits for #battletech from time to time. Mostly satisfied by how these #1stsomersetstrikers turned out.

Having some fun with #waterreflections #leiden #canal #lugdunumbatavorum #praesidiumlibertatis

Lucky break at the store finding some (for now) OOP #jch #streetpan400 for sale. Guess I better shoot it wisely and don't keep it at the back of the fridge like my goblin brain wants me to.

The #Prunksaale of the #Nationalbibliothek in #Vienna ranks high on the list of dream libraries. A room the size of a cathedral, decorated like one too, full of books, old globes and secret doors to reading rooms. It is on public display so unfortunately no sneaking off for an hour to read.

They say you should start off as you mean to go on.
