I was asked today what kind of educational background I had to be working in the job I'm working in now.
I think "theatre studies and a wasted youth full of bad decisions" might not have been what she wanted to hear.

My video colleague and I have been giggling about these for days now. These are stills from a promo video of our current project for an expo. It's me and another colleague doing a guitar battle on Mars.

Die Tücke dieser Form von Slop ist, dass die Erstellerseite damit eben ihre eigene Weltsicht fotografisch verdoppelt, also selbst nicht denkt zu lügen, sondern Wahrheiten zu illustrieren, die man bisher 'leider' nicht fotografisch festhalten konnte.
GdP Sachsen nutzt KI generierte Bilder für eigene Narrative (Bild via @boschpolforsch.bsky.social). Es ist das erste Mal, dass ich solche Bilder von seriösen Stellen sehe, die Ereignisse so darstellen, dass sie besser ins eigene Bild passen. Das ist nicht gut, der DGB darf hier nicht schweigen!

How America found out that the exact situation their 2nd Amendment was made for is now used in an argument against them. Also noting how very VERY quiet the NRA's been behaving in this.
The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you.
Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

I'm planning an international residency with a predominantly Muslim country and we somehow managed to plan this over Christmas AND into Ramadan. Way to piss off all sorts of people wanting to apply (we had no choice, time constraints).

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Women who are absolute chaos goblins are rare in history. They are not nice people. But one has to admire them, going so, so, so much against the grain of their time. Admire them from very far away, that is.
Alas! It is 31 years since the world was deprived of one of its more colourful culinary characters: Phyllis Nan Sortain Pechey – better known as double bigamist, child abandoner, amphetamine user, dangerous driver, and celebrity cook Fanny Cradock

I've agreed to show the opera director of my local theatre my concert venue tomorrow, because this ABSOLUTELY COULDN'T WAIT. Over the course of the past few days this has grown to a traveling group that's now six people.
There'll be some hard expectation management happening tomorrow.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
