Look, none of this was my idea, but here we are. They said there'd be snacks. Where are the snacks? Dad, photographer, traveler, sociologist, researcher.

Dear Americans, You are living in a near totalitarian police state and unless you remove Trump and the GOP you can say goodbye to your freedoms and your rights and will have let the autocracy seize control. Think about it.

Decoding: Posospeak Posospeak Translation "high agency males" "Rich white guys" "Phallocentric" "Dick measuring contest" "gynocentric" "Never been with a woman" "I understand" "Hasn't got a fucking clue" Jack's off. Again.

Okay, I've started updating 'A Modest Proposal' to reframe it and propose the consumption of oligarchs and techbros by the masses. Oddly, it doesn't require much repositioning. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

...and it shows.

Why am I not surprised by this? These DOGE (doggy) morons are low-level coders - not systems analysts. To make matters worse, they don't seem to have been working within a structured review process - it was basically 'wild-west' code and release, which in addition to being dumb is fucking reckless.

The perfect take down of the current drama does exist!

Hidden, or at least obscured by the dust up between Trump and Musk is the repositioning of Vance and Thiel's moves as his puppet master, and I would encourage everyone to remain vigilant and prepare for a new, and arguably more important fight ahead - to keep Thiel and his entourage away from power.

Well, my new video rig is finally finished and ready for a test this weekend. The rig is built around a Sony A7cII with a 35mm anamorphic lens, DJI LiDAR autofocus, Portkeys monitor, v-mount battery etc. I’m a stills photographer by training, but video seemed like an interesting idea, so why not?

We've been warned and we know what lies before us. Our choices going forward will affect everyone and everything for a very long time to come. Please choose wisely.

Apparently America had no defences against a corrupt president. For a time the courts swatted down one unconstitutional crime after another, but the Trump crime spree carried on unabated. The American people will pay dearly for the useless protest vote by a minority against social progress.

Social media is here to entertain us, and...

We need a re-write Swift's 'A modest Proposal' but featuring control of Technocrats; in specific Yarvin, his loony cult as well as Thiel and his cabal, who should play a central part of the feast the masses prepare as they sup on the oligarchs and their kin. Eat one, the rest will fall into line

A Modest Proposal For preventing the oligarchs and their children, from being technocratic tyrants over the people and nation, and for making them beneficial to the publick by way of their provision as victuals for the masses. by Dr. Jonathan Swift, edited and updated for a new era by Anonymous

I giggled.

We need more of this.
