Kid Rock tweet saying "Hey, authority:" with a picture of him with a... bowling shirt (?) on peaking out from a doorway flicking off the camera. The sign next to the doorway says "State Court"

A TIME magazine cover showing Oculus Rift creator Palmer Luckey wearing a virtual-reality headset and headphones, mid-stride in a playful, floating pose against a bright beach backdrop. They’re barefoot, dressed in a light blue polo shirt and jeans, with the VR headset cable trailing downward. Large text reads “The Surprising Joy of Virtual Reality,” with the magazine’s red border framing the scene.

Look at those beautiful pillars!

This is Chicago, for Pete’s sake. Gorgeous aurora. Probably the second best I’ve ever seen and I’ve been obsessed with astronomy for close to 40 years.

Primary Blue No Matter Who
“Primary Blue No Matter Who” in the style of Zohran’s campaign

Since @durbin.senate.gov is obviously worthless, I’ve sent the following to @duckworth.senate.gov.
Senator, I’m deeply disappointed that Democrats chose to own this shutdown by caving with virtually no concessions — effectively killing millions of Americans. I believe Senator Schumer and certain Democrats conspired to find enough “safe”votes from retiring or insulated members to pass this disastrous compromise. Either Schumer has lost control of his caucus, or he deliberately allowed these Senators to take the fall to conceal broader support. Because of that, I can’t know whether you truly opposed the bill or if your vote was politically shielded (by Senator Durbin?) The only way to demonstrate genuine opposition is to publicly call for Senator Schumer’s resignation as minority leader. Without that, I’ll support a primary challenger in 2028 and work actively to see them elected. I take no pleasure in this, but I can no longer trust what comes out of the Senate.

Emailed my senator, Dick Durbin.
To durbin.senate.gov, subject in all caps: “DO NOT CAVE AND END THE SHUTDOWN” Message is: “I don’t know how you’re considering this, but you can’t vote for the Republican CR package with only a promise to vote on ACA tax credits. You have to know that’s not going to happen, and you’re being taken advantage of. This is NOT your shutdown, and if you end it now without them nuking the filibuster, you are taking ownership of it AND caving, like you always do. I will never vote for you or anyone associated with you again. In addition: please retire.”

College basketball (Queens v Winthrop) is charming because they just let anyone with any audio setup call games professionally and put it out for public consumption. Either get my man a windscreen or stop his alliterative use of P's.

Classic Halloween Twitter
Screenshot of Katie Dippold tweet: “Tbt to Halloween when I dressed as the babadook but my friend’s house had more of a grown ups drinking wine vibe” and it’s a picture of her full Babadook’d out with some normal middle-aged white people around her, one guy smirking at her is wearing an unbuttoned short sleeve plaid shirt over a t-shirt. It’s priceless.

“Train through the chain link fence” by Edward Fielding.
Apologies to Mr. Fielding. Yours is better.
An old black-and-white photograph by Edward Fielding called “Train through the chain link fence” showing, well, a train through a chain link fence. An old black-and-white photograph by Edward Fielding called “Train through the chain link fence” after having the chain link fence removed. It is now “Train.”

Don’t read the comment section example #37,562,235: “That example is not that impressive because the pattern behind the person is extremely obvious. Do the chain-link fence example that was so hard until recently.”

Another example I like, but it really does work amazingly well. I'm proud enough of it to actually say something about it on here, after all.
An open sea and similarly colored cloudy sky with several surfers floating in the water, waiting for the next wave. The same image ("An open sea and similarly colored cloudy sky with several surfers floating in the water, waiting for the next wave."), but leaving only one surfer visible to capture their isolation.

But, you can use it for actual photography purposes, too.
A photograph of a desert, with mountains off in the distance and desert shrubbery in the mid-range. A street and curb are visible in the foreground, and a stop sign frames the far left of the image. The same image as before: "A photograph of a desert, with mountains off in the distance and desert shrubbery in the mid-range. A street and curb are visible in the foreground, and a stop sign frames the far left of the image." but with the stop sign removed. Other than the pixels immediately around and behind the stop sign, the rest are left untouched compared to the original.

Obviously, the best use of it is to remove Stalin from this picture and leave Nikolai Yezhov alone.
Image of Joseph Stalin and Nikolai Yezhov. Stalin famously had Yezhov removed from the image after he was purged. A post-removal version of the Stalin/Yezhov image, but we've removed Stalin from the image instead, because fuck that guy.
