The issue that has really moved a lot of folks like me who used to be distracted by the "why did they have gun?" argument off to fully into the ACAB perspective is that bad cops are so rarely punished.

It can be the most cut and dry case of murder and the cops get off, typically with ZERO jail time or direct economic penalty.

Literally the same one of the US most well covered cases of police murder had this update . . .

The people who are the very loudest critics of social media are those who find it frustrating that they can’t block or mute decency into oblivion. These are the same people who will call criticism of hateful behavior “toxic” and then call it a “dogpile” when a second or third person agrees that it’s wrong to treat queer people like shit.

Social media has never been the problem. People with hurtful views are the problem.

Social media is *awesome*. The only people I ever see lamenting it are those who feel intimidated by the raw power of open and candid dialogue. Especially when that power is used to hold them or their friends accountable.

Only then does this thing that they’ve previously loved somehow turn into something unpleasant or problematic. But nothing actually changed; they just finally realized that an open forum will have voices that don’t always agree with them.

F'ing idiots.

It's been difficult to separate the new World Trade Center building from that terrible day in 2001, but we now have the benefit of just enough time that we can begin to discuss the tower as a piece of architecture and as part of the skyline, on its own terms.

It's generally simpler to capture tall skyscrapers like this from a distant vantage point; the classic photos of WTC are usually shot from Brooklyn or New Jersey. But here I wanted to show it as it's seen in the neighborhood. The foreground buildings look taller in the frame, but the (much taller) One WTC tower still stands out, given its uncrowded position in the skyline, as if its neighbors maintain a respectful distance.

This was captured with the Rodenstock 70mm/5.6 HR Digaron-W lens. A large image circle allows room for considerable movements, used here to swing to selectively focus on the WTC tower. A polarizer darkened the clear sky a bit, as well as taming some of the highlights reflected off the glass wall of the tower.

The shape of the new One WTC makes the light catch it differently throughout the day and in different weather. I made several exposures at different times before settling on this one.

Future Sound of London are back with more new music! What I've heard so far feels like a throwback to Dead Cities era acid and breaks, but with a more contemporary sonic pallet. You know this one is going on the wishlist.

(And if you want to hear way too much about this band, may I direct you to #FSOLTime?)

As we approach the release of Bonfire 1.0, this isn’t your typical launch announcement. Instead, it’s a moment to reflect on how we’ve built Bonfire, a roadmap of values, methods, and intentions – and an invitation to define what comes next.

In a world of “move fast and break things,” we’ve chosen a different tempo — one rooted in care, deep listening, and collective stewardship...

China has moved, not with press releases, but with precision: dumping U.S. assets, stockpiling gold, tightening financial controls, and strengthening its critical mineral alliances. What’s Trump doing? Reenacting Brexit cosplay with Keir Starmer and selling the illusion of a “breakthrough” U.S.-UK trade deal that, in reality, fixes nothing and fools no one, least of all Europe, where headlines read more like punchlines. - Mary Geddry

He has willingly chosen to disregard the law.' But, as Tracey Tully, Luis Ferré-Sadurní, and Alyce McFadden of the New York Times reported, videos show him being arrested in a public area outside the facility."

NASA satellites captured the fires burning at the base. Russia has already lost 5 of its 42 Tu-22M bombers since the war began—some to crashes, some to Ukrainian strikes. Now Ukraine is systematically raising the cost of these bombing campaigns.
