Incredibly powerful documentary on the genocide of Gaza, told primarily through the Facetime conversations of two women. See it.

Fixed that for ya. If yer gonna share news photos of present-day fascists cosplaying 1930s Germans, the photos should be shown in their original grainy 1930s Germany black-and-white.

By the way, the MR. SCORSESE documentary series streaming on—of all places—AppleTV+, turns out to be REALLY outstanding. Director Rebecca Miller deserves all praise.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
(I’ve always had an interest in Scorsese’s films but am sick and tired of the mafia crap, just won’t watch it anymore.)

That photo accompanying your article is a 2hr horror movie in a single glance. It’s a quintessential capture in one image of American enshittification of the landscape—profit above everything else, starting with sustainability.
The utter opposite of the Hawai’ian sense of “aloha aina.”

Tried, really tried, over two nights to watch Netflix’s WAKE UP DEAD MAN but could not find a reason to finish it.
Just struck me as a tired, ho-hum script riffing on Agatha Christie mysteries, played out with a boring cast, under nothing-special direction.
Meh.
Critics are on drugs here.

Seven years ago. Still not reality. If he posted this today, just think, maybe in another seven years it’d finally be true—except the car could drive itself from your home (if you still have one) to the place where you used to work before some AI-thingie took your job 🤷♂️

Hiking White Sands Nat’l Park yesterday in New Mexico. A magical, otherworldly place.
Those dunes? That isn’t sand. It’s gypsum. The whole desert is gypsum. It’s like being on another planet.

Sometimes one must make difficult choices. Sometimes the choice isn’t difficult at all; in such instances it’s simply the right thing to do.
Ah, sweet relief. At last, a chance for peace.

OMG, please tell me this is Facebook AI slop. Surely no venue could describe a humble cover-song folk guitar & bass duo this way. First, it ignores Robert, the singer/guitarist, and seems centered on me. I guarantee I won't bleed the songs. I just play bass, LOL! This is a gig happening tomorrow.

*Really* nice to see here in Santa Fe, New Mexico. And you don’t have to immediately roll up all the windows due to the bus’s belching toxic diesel smoke.
(Except when there’s a big hulking diesel pickup truck in front of the bus and it is belching thick toxic diesel smoke. 🤷♂️)
But not today 😎

[I sure wish @bsky.app @support.bsky.team would do something about its design choices.
I love comics in Bluesky but they can be hard to read (same for many screenshots of text articles, maps, illustrations, etc) due to these pesky “<“ and “>” UI affordances getting in the way. 🤷♂️]
