I’m kind of left to my devices tonight so apparently I’m posting screenshots while listening to volume at counter-indicated volume. Feel like I’ve noted this before, but this album just rips.

"Bit of over-rotation on the landing there," I mutter critically as I sit on my couch with a toaster strudel, having never landed a quad-anything in my life

This guy’s favorite Hold Steady album is Family Separation Sunday.
Was this very mid-2000s emo person press-ganged into ICE servitude?

My wife’s job is almost entirely contained in chrome tabs, dozens of them, spread across a single full-screen window. Her fluency with the geography of those tabs is utterly astonishing.

Seahawks Super Bowl, cool. Do we need to have fireworks in every neighborhood, though? I didn’t drug my dog today.

Mom and pop investment property georg etc etc
Bessent on institutional investors: "I's a good idea to have them out of the [housing] market. We're going to give guidance to see what is a mom & pop. Maybe your parents for their retirement bought 10 or 12 homes. We don't want to push the mom & pops out, we just want to push everyone else out"

Why is this an unsettling, clumsy pastiche of outtakes? Why is it so creepy? I know the answer is basically "fire everybody who knows how to do creative conceptualization, direction, design and execution and replace them with fascists and AI." Still, how do these people make stuff so goddamn weird?
The department of agriculture posted this bizarre video on X of children who look like their in a period piece horror movie drinking milk under duress and like I just want to know why? Like what the fuck is this? Why are they being weird about milk? Who are these kids? Are they ok? What the fuck???

5:30am, orcas island gas station where a guy is thoughtfully eating a corn dog and giving feedback to the cashier on the new recipe. Sees the muffin I’m buying, warns me that “they’re drug dealers here” bc the muffin is so good I’ll be coming back in begging them to “cram them into your veins.”
Anyone else have an encounter with a total stranger that they will never stop thinking about? I often think about the time I was in a bookstore waiting for a bathroom to open up, and a guy in one of the bathrooms was taking an incredibly loud crap while repeatedly yelling “SIRI, WHAT CITY IS THIS”

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.

I know we all desperately need more whimsy and surprise, but I sure wish we weren’t getting it from the slop trough.

Helluva photo there.
This is @gettymuseum.bsky.social photographer www.instagram.com/john_abernat...
John Abernathy. He tossed his camera to another photographer so it wouldn't be confiscated, while he put his life in danger to take photos of ICEstapo.
Go to his Instagram. This is American journalism as it should be.
