the 45,000 gun deaths we suffer each year are just the price we pay to live in a society made safe from government tyranny by an armed populace

Everything important seems to work just fine, but one weird thing is: on startup the system now always defaults to display audio instead of my external audio interface. I have to turn the interface off/on for the computer to notice and switch to it :/

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

This 5-foot lamp is a supersized tribute to the world’s most iconic pen
After 75 years the iconic Bic pen has a new job.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Keep filming these assholes. Keep making them famous.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Dramaturgical merit aside, I think the DP (Carlo Tafani, per imdb) is worth a shoutout for managing to augment the crazy lighting of this place and decently capture all those CRT/projection screens on film. Like, they didn't just show up and vlog. They had to work to make it look like this 💪🎥
In 1998, the (bad) Italian movie Cucciolo somehow managed to do something important: they shot quite a long sequence in the now-defunct SegaWorld London, located inside the London Trocadero. The park opened in 1996 and closed in 1999.
Here is the entire sequence.

cool.
When works become public domain, anyone can reimagine and reuse them.

We must film and post every single thing these thugs do in public spaces. Pull out your phone and hit record. Use a long lens if you've got one. Every angle covered, every masked face in closeup. A detailed visual record will matter.
At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

Fascinating. If you go to Worf's quarters, there are all these hard spotlights accenting walls seemingly from nowhere. Surely they were coming through open overhead light panel holes and they 'shopped them to look like the normal white diffusion in these images. (Fancy work for late 80s/early 90s.)
Someone has lifted the QuickTimeVR movie files from 1994's "Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual", upscaled them then built an in-browser replica of the ITM's "Tour" module. mijofr.github.io/st-panorama/
