Anyone else remember when "A Christmas Story" was THE Christmas movie?

After dinner last night, stopped off at a little specialty cookie shop. Cashless, because of course it is, but I gave the nice little Gen Z girl working a cash tip, and she was very confused as to what to to with it. It's called "money." You put it in your pocket. It's yours now. #KidsTheseDays

One... cut a whole in a box. Two... put your junk in the box. Three... make her open the box. And that's the way you do it.

Snapshot from another cool but more easily accessible spot outside of Las Vegas—Nelson, NV. Collection of old cars and whatnot. Popular for weddings and engagement photos, and used in movies like "Breakdown" and "3000 Miles to Graceland." #abandoned #antiquecar #desert #photography #photosky

Just watched the Guillermo del Toro #Frankenstein. Not nearly as funny as the Mel Brooks one.

In honor of the longest night of the year, nighttime in #JoshuaTree. #wintersolstice #happysolstice #nightphotography #photography #photosky

Please let them know if you find Jesus.

Huzzah, the beloved professional sportsballers from my city have bested our hated rivals from a neighboring franchise! Today I can hold my head up high and bask in that reflected glory.

The only remaining vacation home at Overton Beach (2022). #desert #abandoned #photography #photosky 📷 Samsung S21

Just down the highway and up 3 miles of closed road, Overton Beach Marina sits #abandoned on the edge of #LakeMead. The dock was removed in 2008 for lack of water, and the rest closed in 2012. #desert #photography #photosky 📷 Samsung S21

Yesterday's Main Street. #OldStThomas #ghosttown #desert #photography #photosky

Here's another fun climate change adventure: #OldStThomas. At the beginning of the 20th century, this was a town. By the middle, covered with 60-70 feet of #LakeMead. And now... it's neither. #desert #ghosttown #photography #photosky 📷 Samsung S21

As soon as homeboy says “We are taking this flight over for Jesus” and stands up with his guitar, I’m smashing that stewardess button so hard. I know from a fair bit of experience that these in-your-face guitar proselytizers are smug, insufferable twerps who haven’t been told “No” enough times.

Since Americans call a front trunk a "frunk" do the English call it a "froot"? 🤔

As my #photography seems to be 10-15X more popular than my word posts, here's more #art from #BombayBeach. #SaltonSea #SaveOurSea #photosky 📷 Nikon D3300

A few of the signs for the #SkiInn, the lowest bar in the Western Hemisphere. Only bar in town, so it's definitely the place to be. Probably still cash only... #BombayBeach #SaltonSea #35mm #filmphotography #blackandwhite #photography #photosky

I'm guessing this is well out of the water by this point, too. Color and the first B&W are from 2023, the last two are 2024. #BombayBeach #SaltonSea #SaveOurSea #35mm #filmphotography #blackandwhite #photography #photosky

More #art on the beach from a couple years ago. #BombayBeach #SaltonSea #SaveOurSea #sunset #photography #photosky 📷 Nikon D3300

Such a good show. But it blows my mind that there are still people who believe Archie Bunker was an heroic "everyman," laughing with instead of at him. He was the butt of the joke. An out-of-date relic from a time when straight white men had all the power instead of just most of it.

"Haven Family Chiropractic is a neurologically based office... that focuses on full family wellness, pediatric care, and prenatal care." This is simply a 21st century rebrand of DD Palmer's 19th century pseudoscience, but rather than "innate intelligence," it's your nervous system. #chiropractic

Yeah, the Muppets are awesome, but don't we hate Disney/Hulu... or are we all done with that?

But unemployment is still up? Gee whiz, hardworking American patriots... now's your chance to go reclaim all those jarbs they took from you.

Nothing more than perceived wealth that doesn’t exist for the purposes of taxes, but magically does for the purposes of leverage. Meanwhile, the rest of us pay real taxes on low wages and can’t leverage shit. The game is rigged. Tax the rich.

Two more shots, one year apart. (L: 2023, R: 2024) #BombayBeach #SaltonSea #SaveOurSea #35mm #filmphotography #blackandwhite #photography

Of course "The Economy" is doing great... ...if you're already rich.

Happy #420 to all who celebrate.

Once upon a time, back in the 20th century, the #SaltonSea was a more popular tourist destination than Yosemite. People flocked to its beaches to swim, boat, and fish. Now it sits deserted and all but forgotten. #SaveOurSea #blackandwhite #photography 📷 Pentax K1000 🎞 Ilford FP4+ 125

Now I'm in no way a mental health professional, but I'm pretty sure anyone who cuts up their whole plate of pancakes and dumps syrup over the entire mess is a sociopath.

One thing about chiropractors is it's hard to tell them to "stay in their lane" when they've made their lane the whole expressway: "We're back doctors! We're bone doctors! We're pain doctors! We're neuromusculoskeletal doctors! We're primary care doctors!" #chiropractic #scam

Listen, I know everyone needs to have their first time at the grocery store, but I don't understand why I'm always in line behind one of these people.

Oh, the comments... 🔥 After just over 50 corrections that ANY cookie is a Christmas cookie and the associated indignation about how anyone could believe otherwise, Kris disabled replies(/quotes). Thank you, Bluesky, for your attention to this matter! #allcookiesmatter

Guns don't kill people. People kill people. They just do it a lot more and way easier with guns. #Murica

"ACKSHUALLY, in many other countries tipping is seen as an insult!" Yeah, are you in that other country? No? Then tip when tipping is customary in this country. "ACKSHUALLY, tipping is based in racism." Yeah, but that doesn't mean you're striking a blow for racial equality by being cheap.

🎶sending out an SOS🎶 Figured I'd try a little experiment and post some of my #blackandwhite #photography. A couple #35mm shots from beautiful Bombay Beach on "California's Riveria," the Salton Sea. The left is from 2023, the right 2024. Note how much farther back the water is. #SaveOurSea

Y'all like to pretend Bluesky is this classy dinner party attended by cultured intellectuals but there are some real weird fuckers on here. 😬

It's so frustrating that maga has created this narrative - that science is a liberal hoax.

Welp, Murica Murica-ing.

OK. Then tax them down to $5. Or, you know, the cannibal thing is fine too. #taxbillionaires #taxtherich #eattherich

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

"Make America Healthy Again." 👍

You know, for kids!

Your yearly reminder: Time Magazine's "Person [Man back then] of the Year" is not awarded on virtue, it's based on influence over events. Yeah, the AI a-holes on the cover suck, but their creation is definitely gaining influence over all our lives. And it's not like they get medals. 🤷‍♂️

AI won't be doing any cooking or cleaning any time soon, but at least it'll make sure that all our food and household supplies will be as expensive as possible.

This is where #chiropractic gets truly disgusting, spreading outright lies about neurodivergence (yes, it is genetic) and peddling their snake oil to well-meaning but ignorant parents. It's not "an epidemic," just better understanding and diagnosing. (Thanks again, Ignite! 🙄) #adhd #audhd #autism
