Today is the zenith of this false spring—it's already 53 freedom units out there and it'll peak at 66 of'em. Be a proper nice day for a bike ride.

Gonna have to work these numerical sequences into things as Easter eggs. I don't know if I like 0-1-2-3-4-5-16-9-10 or 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-10-10 better. Both of them really are just like 'fuck the late teens let's fast-forward to the mid-20s'

@friction.bsky.social can correct me if I'm wrong, but, the first Luthers I remember making were in '07 while I was unemployed and he was couch-surfing while doing job interviews because my apartment was half-way. We immediately realized this should be a once-a-year food or we'd die.

Watch: you can still make your stand goal Me: well duh, it’s Mardi Gras. I’ll be standing up cooking all night

Re-inventing Silent Hill from first principles out here

Sub-skeeting again but just saw a post saying 'every man I know has always posited living off the grid' and that person only knows weird dudes. Personally my dream was always to live in a city surrounded by all the things I could ever want and not infinite stretches of corn and off the grid weirdos.

liberal arts people: I don't want anything to do with the cursed artifact. If possible we should destroy the cursed artifact STEM people: Haha im so smart I will simply use the cursed artifact. I will use 300 of the cursed artifact. I am replacing my family with the cursed artifact

Ugh where do we keep finding these?! I'm trying to be good this year guys!

I have not, by the way, forgotten my beloved Medalist II in the hubbub of the large format Ektars. Just, there's been slim pickings for them on the market since the Frankenstone kicked it. There's one I'm watching right now but it's an auction so I won't know until late next week.

Back on my proper bullshit

If you’re a human and coach someone to suicide you get trials, true crime podcasts, and if you’re lucky a hot weirdo makes an industrial banger about you. If you make an AI to coach people to suicide all they do is give you more money than exists and the entire world’s hardware production capacity.

I bought a new griddle for this because the plug on the previous one disintegrated last year and I’m getting too old to get a proper jolt from mild electrocution

2013. The cast of "Shakespeare Wrote What...?"

normalize saying 'you want terrible things for awful reasons and nobody's listening to you any more'

Lotta Nikon F stuff in this thread, if that's your groove. Leica stuff is mine so I'll say that IIf RD and Super Rokkor is a real sweet kit, and the 35mm Summaron f/3.5 remains my favorite-rendering 35mm lens yet.

What could go wrong using AI to help stage a few listing photos?

A very cool thing about living in the city is sometimes you come up the stairs from the canal walk and BAM. Wienermobile. Olympus Pen W, Ilford Delta 400

While the Pentax 17 still has a real edge in the lens department it will perhaps not be surprising (considering an Olympus Pen D2 is what pulled me back into film) that my heart is quickly coming to prefer the Olympus Pen W

I do at least remember a time when big CEO's lied a little bit more about the agenda, a surprising number of them now seem genuinely confused that "we need you to adopt this tech so we can fire you and no we have no idea how you'll pay your bills when no one has jobs" isn't a more successful pitch

I really can't muster much enthusiasm for addressing the ways in which the current AI techs are useful (though there are ways) primarily because of the growing list of intrinsic issues around it any one of which should be enough to make this tech a non-starter.

At our new Umbrella Training Facility you'll learn everything needed to move into a management role, including: - operating the big clock that unlocks the meeting rooms - fighting cockroaches - collecting tiny statues of good and evil - scrubbing the torture pool - spreadsheets

@nuclearbob.net with the Nagaoka and 100mm Wide-Field Ektar.

OK, getting back to ThunderCats while eating.

We went, we walked, I took a couple test photos with the Nagaoka and finished the roll in the Pen W. Time now for: Destroy All Monsters

By the end of the day I should be able to use the Industar-51 on the AGFA Ansco instead of only the FKD, and I think I might try front-mounting the Chaz A Gump into a Alphax I've had lying around.

Just like how photography was simultaneously and independently created by two people in different countries so too did the Rapid Rectilinear and Aplanat both evolve from two sources at the same time. And like my JH Dallmeyer Rapid Rectilinear, the E Suter Aplanat is lurvely.
