this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

Back in Vietnam, this time w/Susan! Walking in Tam Coc on a rainy day, we found the purr-fect place for a coffee: maps.app.goo.gl/uqXRDRoRao9v...

“I alone can save you,” 2025 edition. C’mon, NYC, sweep this guy into the dustbin of history. #ZohranForNYC

And on cameras.

Clearing up those "had a stroke" rumors with some impeccable StrokePosting™. Masterful gambit sir!

We have a—and I mean this quite literally—weapons-grade idiot for a president.

Some badass, hero-level science happening right now in the cancer screening field: www.bbc.com/news/article...

For my friends, everything. For my enemies, the law www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

First Amendment allows us to wear a mask. Second Amendment says we can carry a gun. How about we make it illegal to do both at once? Ie, illegal to literally be a masked gunman? #ICE #NoKings

Anyone in the Washington D.C. area looking for a fall reset/expansion of the way they approach their photography would do well to consider this six-week course. I’ve known @billcrandall.com for 30 years; he brings a wealth of experience to this program.

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. @gtconway.bsky.social

I was friends with photographer Greg Heisler decades ago (I have an amazing signed Time cover proof of Ted Turner I helped him with), and he told me how he was briefly banned from the White House after a photo session for GHWB. petapixel.com/2012/08/19/g...

To any fellow Kai Ryssdal / Marketplace fans, Kai’s wide-ranging, one-hour talk with Scott Galloway this morning is very much worth your time: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Me listening to my right-wing family members explain that they’re not political, they just voted for Trump because of the economy.

@billcrandall.com Hey Bill! Just saw your flyer for tonight, but I’m already committed. You gonna be around any longer?

So tempted. No idea what I’d use it for, but the nostalgia is palpable.

#Bluesky #hivemind: Anyone know how to easily move photos from your phone (iOS) into a shared Google Photos folder, without giving the Giant Google Data Vacuum access to all of your photos? Asking for a data-sensitive X-Peds student. Muchas gracias.

Old American Dream: 💵 -> 🏠 New American Dream: 🇺🇸 -> 🌏

Still here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And, just like that, gullible people were doomed to suffer more pain. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So thankful to live in a state that is driven by science, not by a 🧠🪱.

100%. And they won’t stop there, either. www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/t...

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

And Disney bends the knee. Shit.

This protest sign in South Korea says everything about US efforts to lure foreign manufacturing investment. 🤡 @apnews.com

We have front-row seats to the greatest voluntary liquidation of a great power’s status and geopolitical influence in modern history, writes columnist @stephenwalt.bsky.social.

Why do I feel like this is the future Trump’s power-hungry goons envision for us US citizens, as well www.axios.com/2025/09/11/c...

No worries, authoritarian-adjacent USTA. TikTok’s gonna Streisand Effect the hell out of this. Thank you for your service 👍

1776 to 2025. A good run. 🇺🇸 📉

If I told you that a country just dropped a bomb on a hospital, killing and injuring many civilians, and then made a second air strike on that hospital, injuring and killing the first responders trying to help, I don’t even need to say who it was. You already know.

Good morning (to me, evening to you) Bangkok! Long trip. But zero complaints about the view from my hotel room. Fun week ahead, and then on to Siem Reap.

Can’t really put my finger on it, but I’m starting feel like it’s gonna be pretty soon now.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, seen here meeting with the President of Tackystan

Thanks, Mr. President, but I think I’m busy that night www.thedailybeast.com/tom-cruise-t...

An entire bureau of five journalists was just killed by a bomb. And you already know who dropped the bomb, without my having to tell you.

Gen Alpha is coming for you, photographers.

Early August ritual: fresh peach preserves, setting up

*after getting my head punched clean off my neck in the first round* ah but now it’s round two

If dystopian is your go-to genre, ask CGPT to game out what would happen if Trump were to fire the BLS commissioner because he didn’t like the numbers she reported, and then replace her with someone “more competent.”
