The world’s first fully-automatic photographic machine debuted in New York City in 1925. Anatol Josepho's "Photomaton" was so popular that people lined up for hours to try it out. At the time, photo strips cost 25¢ and took eight minutes to process and print.

If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened.
This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century.

Tyger, tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night. What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? Who else remembers reading this aloud in school and marveling at asymmetry? Ah, William Blake. Happy birthday.

It’s not a bias. It’s a transaction. Tens of millions of Ukrainian lives and the remnants of American respectability in exchange for an increase in the private fortunes of a few people.
President Vladimir Putin of Russia on Thursday defended President Trump’s special envoy against accusations of pro-Kremlin bias.
Putin Defends Witkoff Against Accusations of Pro-Russia Bias
The Russian leader called the U.S. special envoy “an intelligent man” who is properly representing his country in peace negotiations.

Every statement from Putin’s orbit is an admission of guilt. Let’s not forget it was the Russian state that refined the art of media manipulation/disinformation to sway contemporary conflicts from Syria to Ukraine in their favor. No one has perfected this craft better than the Kremlin.

🚨The Russian government has banned us as an “undesirable” foreign organization. Our work hasn’t changed. But what’s changed is Russia’s full-throttled embrace of dictatorial policies, its staggering rise in repression & the scope of the war crimes its forces are committing in Ukraine.

Writing builds resilience by changing your brain, helping you face everyday challenges
Resilience is often presented as feats of bravery and endurance. But everyday practices like journaling, drafting a text or even writing a to-do list are manifestations of a capacity to adapt.

My dad was the bassist of this band back in 1989. They turned down fame in favour of enjoying themselves, but I legitimately love his stuff and felt it'd be a disservice not to let people in on this hidden gem.
