hi film nerds 🎞️ Wanted to try 6x9 more seriously so I bought the heaviest camera I could find: Mamiya Press Super 23. Shot one roll and I think I'm sold. Here's my doggo on Tri-X 400 (dev'd HC-110) in our just-getting-started local darkroom. On the plus side, I won't need to lift weights anymore

Zohran just posted about the end of the World Cup, and if I'm not mistaken, he's shooting with a disposable film camera!

Just fully embracing their racism, mask off.

A furry friend on the morning constitutional.

Here's what I get from the data @dhmontgomery.com posted, plotting top 1% and bottom 90% (ignoring 90-99%). The original graph only plotted every five years, and smoothed between those -- pretty lame since the Fed reports quarterly. For Q3-Q4 2025, the top 1% and the bottom 90% were tied at 31.8%.

on the laptop/game front, I think the best approach is to hack together something from a Raspberry Pi and a decent display. The Sharp Memory-in-Pixel displays have stunningly low power requirements, but 2.7" is the largest that's made :-( Lots of inspiration if you google "cyberdeck"

Elmo meets with Obama Sympathizers and LOSERS on the Left

Absolutely ridiculous suggestion since it would take so many trucks and so much loading/unloading time. Just put wheels on the damn tankers, an obvious approach backed by decades of practical experience

but Marisa, where will we put the data centers if we don't control all the land?

oh we're living here in Allentown and they're closin' all the factories down

Ahhh, you beat me to Double Nickels, so here's it's northern complement

Sonic Youth,

I wouldn't say "supplanted". Not by a long shot.

I can't believe I've never read this, but "Riddley Walker" is one of my all-time favorites! Also, last year I ordered a whole set of the Frances books for a customer and was stunned that I'd never made the connection before 😮

hmm, I see that there are plenty of these for sale on ebay too, and I do have a huge collection of old tapes that I never get to listen to...!

I've had several of these, vanishingly small, good sound, tons of storage, still available for maybe $30. The phone was a mistake 😶

The YAATT, who has just now been called into existence for the very first time, is already beginning to regret it. I feel you, Yaatt.

BREAKING: Today's endorsement by Chaya Raichik sets off a tsunami of support for mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo as tonight he locks down the backing of both Weyland-Yutani executive Carter Burke and noted philanthropist Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg

I hate to disrespect by discussing succession while the body is still warm, but it's finally Cardinal Pizzaballa's time to shine! We are *this* close to achieving Pope Pizza I

Not true; they have zero conceptual frame, only local linguistic facility. If AI *understood*, it would know that a human has five distinct fingers, instead of arbitrary fingerlike glop. The number of "r"s in "strawberry" would be easy. But no; an LLM is just autocomplete with a trillion parameters.

Investment opportunity (specifically targeted at mansplainers and climate deniers)! First, two quick questions: (1) Does this graph go up over time?, and (2) If you had known this trajectory in advance, would you have bought this stock in 1904? 🤔
