I know hypocrisy and honesty don't matter to the right, but, man, it is really galling how they spend all their time publicly saying "Actually, the Nazis were left wing socialists!" and the rest of their time in group chats going "😍Hitler my number one right wing hero how I love you!!!"

They’re so far up Trump’s dump you’d think they have gotten wind.

Mood. #art #oilpainting

The religious AI psychosis was bad enough, are we really ready for AI “erotica”? Just call it GoonerGPT. 🤮

Anne Heche’s performance in ‘Birth’ was sublime. Can’t wait to see this in 4K Dolby Vision. 📀🤩

We told you….😂

Preaching the good word of King Crimson.

Social Security got hit with more body blows this week: its commissioner is moonlighting as the made-up "CEO" of the IRS, and 750,000 applicants could be denied disability benefits. More from Bob Kuttner: prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

For an October Caturday, a frame of my Klaus looking spooky. 🎃📷😻 #LeicaM

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

A little jumping spider sitting on the shoulder of this Monster High doll, didn’t let me get a closer shot. Pretty cute though. 💀🕷️📷 #Arachtober

"There are currently one to two Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every day ... Soon, McDowell told us, there will be up to 5 satellite reentries per day." 😳

Today 5-7pm! #idaho #boise #nampa #bannedbooks

Evidently DT now wants to kick hundreds of thousands of people off of Disability & Medicare! Yet another way to steal from the poor! If you know anyone who is disabled, please recommend them to keep their medical documentation current. We may have to re-prove our cases. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Another little house spider from years ago taken with the Lumix/Leica 45mm f/2.8. #Arachtober

Look at the little face on this jumping spider. 😻 #Arachtober

Aside from all the other obvious points it strikes me as particularly cringeworthy to feel you need to put your own face on BOTH sides of the coin

Small house spider, 2015. Micro 4/3 was a pretty good system for macro, this is with Panasonic’s Leica branded 45mm f/2.8. #Arachtober

How did we get from bs AI startup media blitz to a 63 old economist writing about wanting to see a virgin with just the right amount of sex appeal and zero agency on-screen, and how he’s keen to turn to AI to meet that need. This feels like many red flags all around!

"What is this entire anti-terrorism memorandum if not an admission that terrorism works, and that terrorism has secured the White House?" wake up babe @lopatto.bsky.social and @sarahjeong.bsky.social banger alert www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

So happy to have just learned about the #Arachtober tag, now I can share all my spider pics! 😻 I don’t know what species, very small, lives behind a wall plug night-light.

Photography as mindfulness practice.

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

This is a lot of desperate dancing but the funniest thing is these jokers spent the 25 years since 9/11 militarizing the police and now they’re like, yeah they suck at keeping us safe call in the troops

Tariffs meant replacing the dead main board on my RX100m5 took three months and $600 and somehow that was the most economical option because camera market new and used is bananas right now

This came in the mail today. I wish Criterion had been clear on the website that six of the ten films are upscaled from old 2K digital intermediate files. Some of the weakest UHD Dolby Vision releases I’ve seen. 🤔

Dying to see how long this lasts

So, the question here is what the definition of “made” is. If a producer outsources VFX to a foreign studio, how many seconds of footage counts? One? One frame even? 🤔

The essential failure of LLMs in the smart home - where natural language processing should shine - is the best evidence that LLMs as a technology simply may not be able to do the things they’re promised www.theverge.com/report/78717...

I'm amazed* at all the "Christians" saying the attack on the LDS is another example of "Christian" persecution... because one thing "Christians" made abundantly clear to me growing up was that the LDS weren't "Christians".

Americans are staring down a cliff: health premiums could soar 75% and DOUBLE in rural America. Instead of fixing the GOP’s health care mess, Trump is threatening to slam the brakes on government. Cruelty over solutions, chaos over care. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Literally the response when someone suggests maybe BIRTH OF A NATION needs to not be in the canon.

My little guy looking so sad waiting for his dinner. 🙀 35 Summilux works beautifully in monochrome. 📷😻 #LeicaM

I’m excited to see Maggie Gyllenhaal's new take on ‘The Bride of Frankenstein’, but I’m surprised they didn’t go with “We belong dead” as a tagline, I mean, it was right there. 🙀

I've changed my mind. Disney may go down. This is so dumb.

This is why DOGE ransacked all the US government’s data. To feed xAI.

The study comes as states grapple with federal Medicaid cuts under President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Wow. Honestly, #APPLE truly needs to quit being Cowardly and release “The Savant.” Meantime, it is great that Jessica Chastain published this thoughtful — if also damning — response to #APPLE’s Cowardly decision to table this project’s release.

Jessica Chastain says she isn't "aligned" with Apple on the company’s decision to postpone the debut of "The Savant," a streaming series about an investigator who infiltrates online hate groups.

The joy of photography is being in a little jazz club with a quiet M2, clicking the shutter along with the music. 📷🥰

We could just cancel ALL our streaming services and take up knitting, I helpfully suggest
