*RUMP ADMINISTRATION BETRAYAL, MURDEROUS SABOTAGE

I get down to shoot cherry blossoms about once every three to four years. Still debating about whether I'll get down there this year. maybe? xpeditionsphotography.substack.com/p/what-the-c... #DC #cherryblossoms

Wrote about Ibarionex Perello — what he's built with The Candid Frame podcast, how he teaches, and why his approach is exactly right for the X-Pedition Hanoi workshop. #photography #travel #travelphotography www.f8photographicworkshops.com/blog/find-th...

Not that I need another substack, but wanted an outlet to talk about #travel and #photography. Lots of thoughts about upcoming trips to Hanoi, Marrakech and Spain. xpeditionsphotography.substack.com/p/coming-soon

I don't write up breaking news too often but @mayorbowser.bsky.social's proposal to bring legal #poker and blackjack to the nation's capital caught my eye. #DC #pokersky pokerbook.substack.com/p/legal-poke...

The NBA should 100 percent find a way to make this happen randomly in real games.

While he's not the most polarizing pro poker player on tour, he's in the conversation. He's also headed to the Poker Hall of Fame (maybe this year) - hat tip to @dklappin.bsky.social @daraokearney.bsky.social ) pokerbook.substack.com/p/on-the-eve... #poker #pokersky

Anyone who has ever been to Alcatraz - and there's 1.5 million visitors a year of all political inclinations who take the ferry there - knows how insane Trump is with his latest idea. #madking

Stay calm and read @pkrugman.bsky.social. Oh shit, so much for calm. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/will-carel...

Trump is set to leave the White House early today to go to his Florida golf club after setting the economy on fire with his devastating tariff announcement.

Apparently, “America First” is another way of saying “America Alone.”

We are celebrating black history month at my daughter’s school. You can’t erase history with executive orders.

Obviously a staged ambush. I can't ever recall a VP sitting in on one of these oval office media gaggles. #standwithUkraine

Back in 2005, a few days after #huntersthompson killed himself, I posted a remembrance that, thematically, was off. I let the outrageousness of his life distract me from deeper meanings. Hopefully, I've corrected that error today. #poker pokerbook.substack.com/p/fear-loath...

RIP "Miami John" Cernuto, one of the greats of the game. #poker #pokersky

Me: (channelling my inner Bobby Womack): I'm from the streets, baby. I grew up across 110th Street. Wife: I used to live in a dorm that looked out on 110th Street. Me: Did you ever see me?

So now we have the answer to the trivia question: name one thing Trump did in his 2nd term that wasn't completely bonkers? (not that he actually has the legal authority to do this) www.cnn.com/2025/02/09/b...

Currently reading: The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism by Emmanuel Goldstein. Highly recommend it to anyone trying to understand what's going on this country.

Don't just ask how Musk/Trump actions serve their supposed purposes. Ask how they aid the attempt to seize power paulkrugman.substack.com/p/autogolpe

Opened my #fanduel account for first time in a long time and found a $1.50 balance. All I have to do is win one "sure" bet a day. If I can double up 20 times in a row, I'll be sitting on $1.5 million. Day 1 is in the books.

I didn't write this with the intention posting to the substack, but I'm all about repurposing. #poker

Been a rough school year for our household with colds, norovirus, coughs etc. Elementary schools are just big petri dishes. Can't imagine what it's going to be like when we get rid of vaccine mandates. #makingmeaslesgreatagain

Never thought we’d achieve time travel in my lifetime. Welcome back to 1950!

Sometimes I feel like @bsky.app is the hub of the resistance and while I'm happy that it is less toxic than the other place, I also worry that it's an echo chamber.

I took this photo 8 years ago today at a protest in DC that brought out about 20k people to protest Trump's Muslim ban (so, i was reminded on that other platform). 1/2

Well, America got the dictator it always wanted. Are we really not even two weeks in?

Found this hat in my mom’s garage. Thinking of wearing to my next #poker tournament.

Love how these Crypto insiders are tweaked at the grifter-in-chief launching his own meme coin. Not b/c of the shady ethics but because they weren't given a headsup to buy before the price surge. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Great catching up with @seemitch.bsky.social at the Hollywood Hard Rock last week! pokerbook.substack.com/p/a-trip-hom... #poker #pokersky

I took this photo 8 years ago during the guy's first inauguration. This is right after the cops pushed protestors about three blocks back with a volley of rubber bullets, flash bang grenades and pepper spray.

Sorry for asking because I've been out of the country for a couple of weeks, but are we at war with Denmark?

With no disrespect to those who like photos of foxes, why has the algorithm decided that I do?

It's Jan. 6, so time to repost this about the photo book I published in 2021. "Yet, the photos and videos from Jan. 6 are incontrovertible. We know what happened. We saw it unfold in real time. No amount of gaslighting can change that." medium.com/@cosmicsmudg...

Our two weeks in Spain have been wonderful. But Air travel for this trip on Iberia Airlines has been …. less than stellar. Standing in a 2-hour customer service line because of a cancelled flight. Hoping to get on a flight in the morning.

I started writing this thing. It's about #poker. pokerbook.substack.com/p/in-the-beg...
