I took a personality test and it turns out my personality type is BAMF
I feel the same way about my Miranda Sensorex, so I think I have to get my hands on an Olympus OM-1 and try it out!
i no longer own one but the olympus om-1 is an absolute gem of a camera with the largest, clearest viewfinder imaginable

Is this what happens when the photographer refuses the couple's request to have the bride cupping her husband's balls in their wedding photos?
Colton Moore is the state senator for Greene’s district. My guess is he’s probably going to run for her seat. From his wedding …

In the year since I’ve lost my job (and thus been unable to make payments) my student loans have accrue an additional 7k in interest.
Seven THOUSAND Dollars added to the debt already hanging around my neck. When people say being poor is expensive, this is an example of what they mean.

Wasn't there, back in the hoary mists of ancient time, a cable television program where a host just showed funny videos from the internet and commented on them? I feel like as soon as that first grey hair sprouts, we all turn into that guy.
“I don’t want to get a tiktok,” they insist Gen Xishly as they feverishly post unattributed, already-viral tiktoks on every other site that isn’t tiktok
anyway the creator is @andrea_valls, and her video, which was posted two days ago, has 3.2 million views on tiktok

sharing a Reel of a Tiktok to Bluesky is like finding a tupperware container of someone’s already once-reheated Thanksgiving leftovers in your office parking lot, bringing it home, and saying you got take-out

This goes far beyond racial profiling. It is systematic violent abuse directed by the president of the United States.

Hey Science people 🧪, anyone know if there have there been papers written or studies done on the effect of non-stop christmas pop music to people? I certainly feel like I'm still recovering from 10 years of of working retail
If we had to hear “Baby Shark” everywhere we went for two whole months out of the year we’d throw a fit, right?
And rightfully so.
So tell me, why do we put up with it when the song is “Frosty the Snowman”?

MTG was sworn in Jan. 3, 2021.
She will resign Jan. 5, 2026.
Five years.
The vesting requirement for a member of Congress to become entitled to a pension benefit is five years. Same with lifetime federal health benefits.
That's the real reason she's leaving. #grift

This is from the Riverwalk this morning in New Orleans along the Mississippi River. The Crescent City is a port city and has been welcoming immigrants for over a century.
May peace always be with New Orleans — today and always — a sanctuary city. 🙏 ❤️
