Photography, poetry, humor, and a touch of economics now and then.
The Point Reyes Shipwreck is one of the most beautiful, haunting, and silly sites in all of California. It is a happenstance cathedral for photographers. Lovely shot, Jon!

Question for @marketplace.org : what % of the FOMC are renters? What % own multiple homes, mortgaged or outright?
Are we all overlooking the real economic story as we pore over the legal drama?

Maybe we're ignoring the real issue: does it unnerve you that so many political appointees in the US own MULTIPLE HOUSES? Shouldn't roughly half of our policymakers be renters?
Imagine if every person in charge of setting transportation policy took a chauffeured car to work!

How I feel about this photograph depends heavily on how I weight the #LeicaQ2 tag it bears vs the #Midjourney tag it also bears.
Anybody else feel these two ways?
Provenance is everything, these days.

Three of the hardest working shipwrecks in #Galway Bay. It was a long shoot, several lens and lighting changes, and they never once complained.

2022: I am starting grad school in Ireland. ChatGPT hasn't launched. It strikes me as archaic that we sit our exams by scribbling into blue paper booklets.
2023: I am finishing grad school in Ireland. ChatGPT is everywhere. It strikes me as inevitable that we use blue paper booklets.

this is hilarious and miserable. just so tech bros can have their dystopia moment, students have to lose all accessibility provided by remote technology and we the professors lose the flexibility and convenience. but progress, amirite?!
For the moment, there is no alternative.

This is not paid ad for CVS, but they are running a sale (USA) of $5 for a 16"x 20" "repositionable poster."
I had some of these printed a few weeks ago. Quality is B+, and the sticky backing is like a Post-it note. Nice wall decor for $5.
💡 ANYTHING is a JPG if you save as .jpg

Housing + Private Equity = A recipe for profit over people.
As urgency grows around housing and affordability, we peel back the curtain on an issue impacting hundreds of Detroit residents: housing as a digital investment asset.

This color palette is perfect. Really complex and engaging macro shot.

This is a lovely shot. Just the right defocus allowing the background to "lurk" behind the droplets. Joey Terrill @joeyterrill.bsky.social does a lot of amazing water drop photography along these lines. Would love to see more!

Unlike “followers” (for example, bison calves), deer fawns are “hiders,” staying put until strong enough to run. Mothers may leave them for up to 12 hours while foraging, returning periodically to nurse. #BlueskyArtShow #Small #Deer #GrandCanyon #Fawn #Hider #Photos #AnimalPhotography #Photography

Quick Hollywood story about #LarrySummers:
Douglas Urbanski is the longtime agent/manager of actor Gary Oldman. When Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher were casting The Social Network, they asked Douglas Urbanski if he would be interested in portraying #Harvard President Larry Summers.

Could I but ride indefinite,
As doth the meadow-bee,
And visit only where I liked,
And no man visit me,
And flirt all day with buttercups,
And marry whom I may,
And dwell a little everywhere,
Or better, run away
-- Emily Dickinson
