Dr. Tongue's 3D House of Stewardesses.

I am very disappointed to report that there does not appear to be a torrent of House of Wax (1953) in the original anaglyph 3D format (red-blue glasses), the presentation that its one-eyed director intended.

Pay-Analysis App That Uber Fought Launches for US Drivers - Business Insider:

"Many gig workers saw their earnings on apps like Uber and Instacart fall in 2024 despite spending a similar or greater amount of time on the platforms, a study by data analytics company Gridwise earlier this year found."

US Senators have reintroduced #KOSA today and sadly I expect this to become law invevitably as it gained even more support (from Apple most notably) since it was stalled late last year.

Like I said, this would create more #censorship and chilling of #speech, especiially towards minorities and the marginalized.

The Lincoln Memorial, an iconic DC tourist attraction, is crowded and bustling year round. But in the middle of the night, when it's empty and quiet, it becomes a very different place. It's solemn and peaceful in a way that takes you by surprise. I lingered longer than I needed to when taking this photo.

Part of my "slightly better versions of the pictures of local attractions than you might find hanging in your hotel room" series.

Captured with the Rodenstock 90mm/5.6 HR Digaron (@ f/7.1) and the PhaseOne IQ4-150 "Achromatic" back. 12mm of vertical shift kept the geometry in line. The sharp lens and achromatic back reveal a lot of detail zoomed in at full resolution (full res is downloadable on flickr).

This is a very simple composition, the frame filled with the Memorial from roughly the perspective shown on the $5 bill. The National Parks Service does a superb job lighting the site.

Today is the anniversary of the MOVE bombing. The only thing that’s changed is police are far more militarized, far more funded, and far less accountable, while their supporters fly a desecrated flag to explicitly endorse their violent attacks.

It's when Sam Altman said to the audience "You can clap about that all you want," that I felt his level of contempt.

I think deep down, all of these tech billionaires are fueled with a bitterness for a society they feel had rejected them. Now that they have power, it's not good enough to make all the money. They want us to suffer.

Their media training helps them hide it, but every so often the mask slips and we get to see their raw contempt for us, regular folks.
