All the cool kids are doing it, so allow me to re-introduce myself.
I'm Brian, photographer, gamer, Twitch streamer, and silly person. I share my photography here (some NSFW), and also like to share occasional brain droppings.

There used to be a Friendly's on seemingly every street in the Capital Region. Now just two remain. Clearly we have lost our way.

Time to put Mariah Carey back in cryogenic stasis and venture into that fluid, eerie, weird time known as the week between Christmas and New Year's where we're somehow expected to human. Bullshit, I say.

You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

Not gonna lie, have not really been feeling at all festive. 2025 has, personally, sucked. Big life changes. Lots of emotional and mental upheaval. Feeling directionless and wondering where my life will go now that the future life I thought I was gonna have is gone.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

I am happy to report that my colon is clean as a whistle and that I remain in remission from Crohn's. That sedation they give you is absolute bliss.

I have a weird question for the #bird people on here. Do you think someone could tell that a book was pooped on specifically by a sparrowhawk (or perhaps hawks generally) just from the feces? I'm looking at a 16th c. case where witnesses claim books were pooped on specifically by sparrowhawks!

It stinks that in so many instances (dine-in, delivery, cooking of course, even going and buying peanut butter and bread from the grocery store) you have to wait to eat. Waiting for Star Trek to solve this problem
