Excited to see exactly how the Democrats caused this shut down.

Potential 2025 Shutdown:
• White House: Donald Trump ✔️
• Senate Majority: GOP✔️
• House Majority: GOP✔️

2018-2019 Shutdown:
• White House: Donald Trump✔️
• Senate Majority: GOP✔️
• House Majority: GOP✔️

Tragic news about the artist Starcadian. Rest in space.

Managed to get out for some birding on Saturday. The Lake Renwick Preserve has changed in the last few years. Cormorants are taking over and now outnumber the Herons and Egrets, probably 8 to 1. Still nice to see a few birds up close. #canonphotography #birding #heron #rf200800

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Great interview with my friend David Patiño. He’s an incredible photographer and event better person. Really helped me out when I got back into photography.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Just got a new 16" MacBook Pro M4. Impressed. So far have only used it for photo editing. Never heard the CPU fan on my M1 MacBook Pro so this was a big surprise when I heard this one. I'm re-organizing an out of control 5TB photo library with LR so this not normal use but I'm slightly concerned.

On foggy days like today in Chicago, the view above the low-lying fog can be magical. Fog is not unusual in December. Here it is again but on this day back in 2018. It felt like another world above the city for this Monday Moment.

Really fantastic candid video by @jhspedals.bsky.social that sums up the ignorance in the music equipment industry. Thanks Josh for making this video.

LED bulbs. I want something with good color that is dimmable and feels like an incandescent. What is your favorite brand?
