This is such a no-brainer if you have the Pocket 3. mikelsigler.com/2025/photogr...

first the pope, now this? when will someone lock him up

I think I have a vintage glass problem. This is the Nikkor 50 1.4 on my lumix s5ii. #photography

The Lumix S9 is Good, Actually. #Cameras

I have a serious Leica monochrome problem. S5ii, Panasonic 50 1.8

I know it’s a controversial view, but I’m willing to say it — Sam Alito is a mediocre turnip and the assertion we should take him as a serious intellectual has always been suspect.

DJIA down 1,200 points in the opening minute.

Three million Americans marched today. Here’s why we wrote about one American who didn’t.

1:45pm The bow echo has reached the western metro, bringing hazards such as strong winds, lightning, and possible spin-up tornadoes. Also, be aware of torrential rain, as a Flash Flood Warning remains in effect for a portion of our region. Use extreme caution if you're out! /GF

I for one am amazed that allowing the world's stupidest man to bellow like an idiot while swinging a sledgehammer into every surface encountered has not fixed all of our problems but has instead made all problems worse and caused new ones. It makes no sense; he had the longest tie, the goldest hair.

The Trump administration abruptly laid off the entire staff running a $4.1 billion program to help low-income households across the U.S. pay their heating and cooling bills.

turns out, yes, AI will take people's jobs, but not by replacing them www.theverge.com/news/642620/...

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

🚨📢7:25pm Sirens are likely sounding across much of Shelby Co. AT THIS TIME, a Tornado Warning is ONLY in effect for the Northaven/Shelby Forest area - NOT the rest of Shelby Co. Siren policy dictates that Shelby/Memphis sirens are sounded anyway.

6:15pm The Memphis area is included in an area where SPC says several strong tornadoes are possible in the next couple hours. Please have your safe place ready to go and be ready to use it!

Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands. The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.

Republicans have used George Soros as a bogeyman although there is no sign of Soros having much influence on any Democratic administrations. But if Democrats continue to use Elon Musk as a bogeyman next month when Trump pretends to have sidelined him, that will be demagoguery of the highest order.

A rare HIGH RISK (level 5) has been issued for the Memphis area. Tornadoes - some strong, large hail, and damaging wind, and very heavy rain are expected this evening. A few storms could start as soon as 5pm with a line of severe storms crossing the metro (slowly) between ~7pm-midnight.

I like how 2025 April fools day is just Hey look, something good is happening! Haha April fools, everything is still shit lmao.

i'm saying this with great vehemence and force: we must free him

The EPA will close a museum that tells the story of the agency’s history and mission.

Dumb question, when I post photos with no narrative value, like "photography" photos, should I still add alt text or is it just annoying vision impaired users? I've been doing it both here and on my website but I also see the "Leave this blank if purely decorative" thing.

This is an absolutely perfect summary of my feelings on the whole Apple Intelligence debacle. I keep hearing people pearl-clutching about how "behind" Apple is on AI, but what does that even mean? Is anyone buying products based on half-baked AI features? Who even wants this shit?

Some Early Pics from the Lumix S9

Donald Trump just did an interview where he said he thought that Signal referred to the quality of your cell phone’s reception. Here’s why Joe Biden was too cognitively impaired to continue as president.

@dennisbhooper.bsky.social since I’m no longer on twitter I must continue door chat here.

@ditzkoff.bsky.social From now on in every White House Chat:

I’m really liking the Lumix S9. Currently rocking the Sigma 35mm f2. I wish it were a little smaller and lighter but it’s hard to argue with the results. #photography

Whether it's Barack Obama using a Blackberry or Donald Trump accidentally texting war plans to a reporter, both presidents had cell phone problems.

Sometimes, YouTube can still be beautiful and perfect. Watch for my cameo! youtu.be/V5MwWcixA6I?...

A windy (gusts to 35 mph) & warm (81°) day precedes the potential for scattered severe t'storms tonight between 7pm-1am. Still not a slam dunk event, but any storms that develop could quickly become severe. Finish prep/share it with family & keep devices charged today. #memstorm

This lens is ridiculous on this camera, I’m getting a small prime stat, but I’m not turning down a free lens.

it’s monday

Severe t'storms are possible this afternoon (3-6pm) on a very windy day in general. Temps climb to the mid 60s while wind gusts reach 40-50 mph this afternoon. Rain arrives around noon and ends by 7pm. Keep devices charged and stay close to your weather sources!

It is a cloudy Monday with temps in the low 60s and steady wind from the south. Tonight will remain calm with temps in the 50s and breezy wind. Use the daylight today to prepare for tomorrow's severe weather threat by securing any loose items that could blow away./RB

Worried that the arrival of Russian oligarchs will price you out of the Beltway? These sheet-pan pirozhki what makes you feel like you’re in 1917 Saint Petersburg

I appreciate a correct headline: Our President Is A Global Embarrassment
