I'm not saying President Trump is a pedophile, just that I can't think of anything he'd be doing differently if he were.

I’ve seen a lot of people share the sentiment that AI getting more pervasive could be good because it will make everyone get offline. I don’t share that optimism! I have seen nothing to indicate that online spaces getting worse encourages people to leave them—in fact, I think we’ve seen the opposite

The thing that I hate most in the world is some mother fucker in a Winter Park McMansion who thinks that scamming people is cool and smart but paying taxes is for suckers.

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.
