It's midnight and the DJs have just requested 24 Red Bulls. A pallet of Red Bull.

My children, that is too much Red Bull for you this late at night. Can I interest you in a gross of pixie stix instead?

Do designers even use cups??
Can we please stop throwing fancy designs at every day objects people need to use??!!
That cup is so volatile that it nearly tilts over by the weight of the tea bag string!

Stump. I never know what and how to shoot when on a forest trail. This photo is probably the best one from our recent outing, but it's still kind of dull.

Any serious discussion of current Supreme Court opinions must start from the recognition that Court is lawless. It is as if high energy physicists starting conducting their work according to astrology without being honest about the shift. This wouldn’t be bad physics; it wouldn’t be physics at all. But they might be able to bamboozle non-physicists. So honest physicists of integrity would have to keep exposing the sham. 7/

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

Fashion is the state an industry degrades to once all the available innovation has been exhausted.

It is the "white dwarf" conclusion for fields with insufficient justifiable change to provide an indefinite source of legitimate novelty. The term we use to identify the fields that defy this destiny is "technology".

If you want to understand Apple's insistence on a yearly update schedule, you must first understand that Apple no longer sees their software as *technology*, but rather as *fashion*.

@tknarr @jlundell The electoral college is simply not gerrymandering as the word is understood by literally everyone who uses it in a professional context. I’m done. I’m really not interested in arguing with people about the definitions of commonly understood words.

I know I must sound like some sort of humorless election fraud killjoy, but actual facts can sometimes matter, and knowing them can occasionally be adventageous.

@tknarr Gerrymandering isn't a factor in presidential elections. It's concerned with the boundaries of congressional districts and state legislative districts, which play no role in presidential elections.

Aside from the grift, the thing that boils my blood is that this nonsense robs attention and credibility from legitimately real vulnerabilities in US election infrastructure.

No, Im not going to link to it - it deserves no oxygen - but these "2024 election was rigged" clowns are taking EXACTLY the same bogus theories that were used to "prove" that Biden stole the 2020 election from Trump to "prove" that Trump stole the 2024 from Harris.

There's plenty we need to improve about election security in the US, but this stuff is just silly pseudostatistical bullshit.

This is an IR photo, made in afternoon light with a 1000nm filter and the Phase One Achromatic back. 1000nm is a fairly long IR wavelength, rendering a soft, surreal look. (IR photos are usually captured around 750-800nm). I used the Rodenstock 50mm HR-Digaron, which leaves the moon small in the frame but still recognizable.

This is (of course) a nod to Ansel Adams' "Moonrise, Hernandez, NM". But Adams' 1941 photo was made just after sunset, in the visible spectrum. See https://www.moma.org/collection/works/53904
