And as always, the only part of this I condone--no, in fact I encourage!--is the extremely wealthy flying experimental light aircraft while intoxicated over unpopulated areas. It's a must! Thrill of a lifetime! Get to it! Experimental light submersibles also accepted.

Ever since I read the @bouletcorp.bsky.social comic back in like 2011 I've wanted a Formicapunk/Cassette Futurism work, but I don't feel like anyone has pushed it in that way. There have been anachronistic series, sure, but never the retrofuturism that I really want.

And I just want to point out that all that money didn't just disappear. Advertising went online and the massive theft of content via social media platforms was part of it. I understand the reasoning behind section 230 and similar, but as well intentioned as it is, it has destroyed society.

You know how people thought Elon was smart until he spoke about something they were an expert in? I'm pretty sure that's LLMs. We think they might be good at *something* that isn't our expertise, but every time I look at a use-case a professional is going "oh yeah, no, it's trash."

A reminder that it's okay to unironically enjoy Adrian Chiles. Sometimes you need a little man delighting in the small parts of life to remind you of what really matters.

I'm not getting a PhD in this, but it's good to know that my understanding is broadly correct according to someone who is. It's like Wright's fitness landscape: LLMs are reaching the peak of their underlying technology, and they're not going to leap to another peak just because they want them to.

I've read a bunch of books on story structure—because people I work with sometimes like/use these books. Dan O'Bannon's was the only one I've found worthwhile, not least because he isn't prescriptive. He walks you through some broad strokes he uses to get writing, and how the thinks about story.

AHHHHH hahaha I was wondering if that was a typo or what. Cheapest way to get the red Leitz badge now! #believeinfilm #leica

Peter's recent colour work has just been incredible lately. It's normally great, but here in the depths of winter it's taken on a sense of uneasy stillness, like a spring coiled tight. The contrast of the intense blues and warm yellows of snow and sunlight only serve to enhance that feeling.

Steely Dan's Can't Buy A Thrill is their best album. I won't be taking questions at this time.

The second image in this set has a tent where a drum circle was playing. Normally I can't fully appreciate drum circles because I don't have the cultural context to get it. But in this case they did a rendition of Happy Birthday, resolving into the refrain in ways I wasn't expecting. (1/2)

I have never understood why people think wind turbines are ugly. To me, they look like dancers.

Canoe Volant pt iv Last part from the Canoe Volant. My only wish is that the event ran longer. With smaller crowds, it would have been lovely to meander for longer. Shot January 2026 in Edmonton, Alberta. Specs in alt text. #believeinfilm #photography #yeg #leica #7artisans @ilfordphoto.com

Canoe Volant pt II I recommend opening this one on a bigger screen. I shot this one at 1/10th of a second on my Leica M3 with the 7Artisans 35mm f1.4 WEN wide open, HP5 at box speed. #believeinfilm #analog #photography #yeg #leica #7artisans @ilfordphoto.com

you know what film rules when you use it in just the right light with just the right colors? kodak ektar. just scanned this negative. would you believe it is 35mm? it looks incredible.

I picked up Diana Wynne Jones' The Game to study for one of my authors, and I am again struck by the care and finesse in her words. Small bits of detail that flesh out the world. A masterclass in showing versus telling.

Can't watch this now, but I'm really looking forward to it later. I am all-in on solar, and I think you should be too.

I've been trying to get my version of the Bechdel Test to catch on called the Ballard Metric. It basically asks if the creator was able to work for free or for slave wages due to an invisible financial safety net and recontextualizes the work. (I'm kinda joking idk)

I have all recommendations and watch history turned off for YouTube, so it can only ever recommend me what other people like. Unfortunately, so many of the "masc" hobbies (cars, tech, vintage computers/cameras/whatever) have recommendations for right wing rabbit holes...

The question is no longer "will it happen?", but rather "how fast?" We are about to witness a rapid collapse in fossil electricity production the likes of which the world cannot contemplate. A total reordering is underway

I got a Pentax PC35AF this summer, and it ended up being corroded completely. Then, a few days ago I found the PC35AF-M SE in great condition at a thrift store, and figured it was time. So, that's what I'm out shooting today.

It’s better than Kanye is disavowing the Nazi shit than the alternative of continuing to double down, but I’m just gonna go ahead and wait until he’s collected his “5 years since I said some Nazi shit” sobriety coin before I welcome him back with open arms or anything

The laces finally snapped on this pair of shoes, which had been hanging from a wire for months. Bought myself a 7Artisans 35mm f1.4 Wen lens for my birthday, and I'm really liking it so far. #believeinfilm #Leica #photography #analog @ilfordphoto.com #yeg

Hackers has a rock-solid structure, distinct and interesting characters, and a unique and visionary style. Big and cartoonish? Sure. But in no way a garbage fire. I'd probably put it on the same level of quality as the first Star Wars movie, tbh

I don’t usually have to remind people this but just in case: if you put video of someone getting murdered into my tl you are getting blocked so fucking fast

I got curious. I'm at least interested in hearing the full album, now. Harry's House had this interesting style, except it felt lacking, like it needed to be mixed wall-of-sound style. Much bigger than it went. Sounds like this new album has some of that going on.

Apropos of nothing, isn't there a legal concept around the idea of "nothing to lose" with regard to the philosophy of punishment?

Yup. And you should never underestimate the organizing power of the disability advocacy communities. The few wins I (as part of a team) had in politics were because people with disabilities, their families, and their communities refused to back down.

Shoutout to my fellow havers of RSD

I'm getting this sense that we need to separate nerd culture from intelligence. Like, everyone associated nerd shit with smart people, and then it massified and the cultural indicators were still there. And then you get shit like this. People who signal as knowledgeable, but don't know jack shit.
