BREAKING NEWS: the shooter has been identified as a young, cis, white man who belonged to several online white supremacist networks.

Oh, no no, not the Charlie Kirk guy. I mean, yes also the Charlie Kirk guy. But also I was talking about the Evergreen School shooting guy who killed 3 kids on the same day. And also the guy who killed Donald Trump's ear. And also the other guy who tried to kill Trump on a golf course. And also the guy who murdered Melissa Hortman and her entire family in their sleep. And also the guy who beat Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer.

Hmmm it's almost like there's a pattern emerging...

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.

Do You Have Poster's Disease? (Cont)

https://www.gawkerarchives.com/media/posters-disease

To have poster’s disease, you have to believe that posting has an action: posting is a job; posting is giving; posting is achieving; posting is a game, intramural or otherwise, that must be won. Poster’s disease is linking a public tragedy to your own non-tragic experience (posting will achieve proximity and perform empathy), or providing commentary on a conversation that you eavesdropped on (posting will show that you lead a public life in which you are a folk hero observing the whims of the common man).
