When you look at #travelPhotography, do you prefer that travelers get iconic shots or try for new and uncommon sights?

Here are a few rather non-iconic shots from my trip to France and Switzerland this summer - Geneva, Rennes, Rennes, and Paris.

I'm still mad about Gotham beating KC, BUT I like Jaedyn Shaw a lot, so there's that.
“I think this year has been a lot of mental growth. How do I weather storms?“

Jaedyn Shaw is answering the questions many former soccer prodigies face, and she’s becoming the player Gotham needs as they make a championship push. Spoke to her about it for JWS:

While I'm here, a question for the #Broadway fans: What *one* play or musical should we try to see in mid December? #theater #theatre #NewYork

We went to Victoria to see friends, & I learned the bus system a little bit. Now I have money on my Victoria bus system account. 🤣 We also went to a movie in downtown, and I fell for a stationery store there as well. (Papery.) The harbor on our way out; 🇨🇦 at half-mast for #RemembranceDay.

What the fuck all around, but mostly WTF with Stripe.
I've just had a reader file a dispute about a Stripe payment for my newsletter via their bank on the grounds of "product unacceptable". For this, I get a big charge from Stripe, as well as refunding the sub.
If, however, you like unacceptable products you can subscribe here:

This new West Coast Health Alliance will give unified recommendations to residents of California, Oregon and Washington State on vaccines and other public health matters.

This is very similar to what public health experts told me is the way forward. More ideas here:

Something about the two stories about ChatGPT's involvement in suicides/murder that came out this week that really stuck out to me: OpenAI basically has a boilerplate response when their product gets people killed.

Aujourd'hui, c'était la rentrée des classes 🚸

J'étais avec @epierremarie.bsky.social et @isabelle-rocca.bsky.social à l'école Gerty Archimède, qui bénéficiera l'année prochaine d'une cour oasis🌴.
Les élèves, ses premiers usagers, ont déjà été consultés sur le projet.

Also I am not getting even 48 hours in this city so the return is MANDATED.
We're in Vancouver (my first time here!!) but sadly won't be here for the Rise game against Montréal tomorrow night, BUT I AM 100 PERCENT RETURNING FOR THE SOCCER. #NSL #WoSo
Had the opportunity today to chat with #CanWNT head coach Casey Stoney about the program, #NSL, upcoming matches and what still must be done to keep women's football growing in Canada.
