Okay, wasn't expecting that. The whole article is worth a read:

This Canon G16 was my Christmas gift to myself this year. I found it at a thrift store a few days ago, and made the snap decision to pick it up despite not having a battery. It's exactly what I've been wanting out of a compact camera.

Today I learned that Red Square in Moscow is like Hollywood Boulevard, with guys walking around dressed as Lenin and Stalin posing for photos.

We had a heck of a snowfall here in Edmonton for Christmas Eve. Really lovely to have a white Christmas.

six months ago Reader’s Digest asked if they could purchase the publishing rights for this elaborate shitpost I wrote a year ago now wherein I pretended to be the elf equivalent of David Brooks at the North Pole. Thought it was maybe a phishing scam but it’s real LMAOO

Something I learned when visiting Taliesin is that #FLW apprentices were in charge of building, in additional to their other responsibilities. It was clearly a place of experimentation. | #architecture #explore #adventure #landscape #filmphotography #35mm #photographersofbluesky

A To Wong Foo, Julie Newmar hitch?

Definitely don't paste song lyrics or the script from To Wong Foo or anything.

Here's a rare find for #typewriters:

A Smith Corona Galaxie Deluxe with two special orders: a blue platen (which I've only seen one other time in ten years of collecting), and a beautiful floral fiberglass case (only one I've seen in person).

It took me entirely too long to figure this out given all the hints the Foglios has dropped over the years, but I'm glad to see the big reveal for the characters now, too.

I have been sick and haven't left the house since Tuesday. That left me a lot of time to work on this Nikkor-s 50mm f1.4, which I needed

What an absolute pain. I had to drill out the stop on the inner helicoid ring because I stripped the screw heads. I also cleaned some minor fungus. But, it works!

They added this to their audio branding, and I feel like this is a big step toward the general backlash.

Really interesting.

I would broadly agree. I also felt like the pacing had serious issues with far too much buildup for too little payoff.

That said, I love it because it has vision and is someone trying to communicate an intent, rather than just paint-by-numbers committee work.
I think my hottest take of the year remains that Sinners is kind of thematically confused and accidentally reactionary

The only reason I have shot as much film as I have is because I was gifted a bulk roll of Delta 100 back in 2011 from my school, and finally got a bulk roller in 2022.

I recommend them to anyone.
So I bought myself a bulk loader the other day. Now all I need is 30m of film to go into it.

It's unbelievable to me how fast LLM gen stuff has given me the "ick." I see it and it's just an instant turn-off because of all of its associations.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.
