Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I tried developing colour film today. The first roll didn't turn out at all. The second had a couple of passable images though. I have six or seven more rolls to develop tomorrow, so here's hoping. East side of the Albert Street underpass, shot with Phoenix II on a Fujica GS645.

Who would not shut up about

And some stupid dead king
Forgive me
He was so boring

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, especially that one. Proud of that, took me ages.
