Startup carcass in alley this morning. Tire tread on burst bubble. This Valley is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The prediction markets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the techbros will drown. The accumulated filth of all their microdosing and Soylent will foam up about their waists and all the accelerationists and effective altruists will look up and shout "Save us!"
And I'll whisper, *maybe later.*

White on white crime. Far right on far right. It leaves white families broken. Where are all the white men, the white fathers who will speak out against their broken suburban culture?

This simple composition was made with a small FF mirrorless camera, 21mm lens, and travel tripod during a short hike.
I didn't have any ND filters with me, so ended up having to shoot this in the bright midday light at f/8. That yields too much DoF to allow focus to separate the tree from the background. But fortunately there was just enough haze to reduce the contrast of the distant hills a bit, yielding a high contrast subject with a lower contrast background. So it worked out in the end.

Zeteo suggests that we inform ourselves about Charlie Kirk by paying attention to his own words. To assist us in doing that, Zeteo offers a helpful list of excerpts of Kirk's words, with links documenting the statements.

“'Gang violence' is a clear dog whistle for 'violence committed by non-whites,' so by asking 'counting or not counting gang violence,' Kirk is at once being extremely racist while deflecting from and downplaying the staggering death toll of needless gun violence that Americans suffer every year, because he understands the critical role that wanton gun violence plays in advancing the greater Republican political project."

‘Kirk’s last words offer a rare glimpse into the role that the gun violence epidemic Republicans have so carefully incubated plays in advancing their political goals. “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America in the last 10 years?” asks a student. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk responds right before he is shot.
There’s a lot to unpack here.’
oh yah
