If you use generative AI to pretend you lit a subject in a particular way when you didn’t, then you are a fraud and a faker and should stop calling yourself a photographer. That’s my unpopular opinion for today.

As it tries to cool neighborhoods, Long Beach seeks to sharpen its ban on some artificial turf
It’s already restricted on public rights-of-way, but with no enforcement, it has proliferated nonetheless. Neighbors say it’s heating up neighborhoods and killing trees.

People forgot about it, but the sugar industry started to sell the idea that there was a region of the brain, called the "appestat", that controlled appetite and satiation, and that sugar was the best way to control it and lose weight.
Of course, this whole "appestat" nonsense has been debunked.
1968 Sugar Association Advertisement. "Sugar and your appestat*" "Tucked away in your brain is a hunger switch. It's called an "appestat." It controls the amount you eat. Sugar can help you switch your appestat from "on" to "off." Read more about sugar and weight control." "Everyone knows sugar contains calories. So it's hard to think of sugar as a big help in weight control, yet that's exactly what sugar can be. When your blood sugar level is low, your appestat is turned up and you're hungry. (Probably tired, too.) Just a small amount of sugar, in a soft drink, ice cream, pastry, candy, coffee, or tea, will turn your appestat down. Then you're not so apt to overeat, and overeating is really what makes you fat. In addition to helping with weight control, sugar does otehr good things. For one, it gives you quick energy. Sugar is all energy, and is taken into your blood stream faster than any other food. So when sugar turns your appestat "off," you might say it "turns you on." Artificial sweeteners don't affect your appestat and have no energy value. Also, sugar tastes good, and so do foods made with sugar. Stay with sugar. Sugar got what it takes!" "Only 18 calories per teaspoon-and it's all energy." "* A neutral center in the hypothalamus believed to regulate appetite - Webster's Third New International Dictionary." "SUGAR INFORMATION, INC."

Throwback Saturday with a shot from 2016 of #Whitby for the #evening theme of today's #BlueSkyArtShow .

This was shot on a Canon 80D with (I think) a Tamron zoom, giving what I think are my most successful sun stars.

#nightphotography #cityscape #photography #Yorkshire
alt-text please This is a stunning twilight photograph of Whitby, a historic coastal town in North Yorkshire, England. The image captures the town's iconic seaside character with its distinctive layers of architecture climbing up the hillside from the harbor. In the foreground, fishing boats are moored along the waterfront, their lights reflecting beautifully in the still harbor waters. The town's buildings rise dramatically up the cliff, showing a rich mix of traditional Georgian and Victorian architecture in varying shades of brick and stone. Street lights twinkle throughout the scene, creating a warm, inviting glow against the deepening dusk sky. The buildings are tightly clustered in the characteristic style of historic English coastal towns, with narrow streets winding between them. The sky features dramatic streaked clouds in shades of deep blue and peach, creating a moody, atmospheric backdrop. The composition beautifully captures that magical "blue hour" moment when artificial lights begin to dominate but natural light still illuminates the scene, giving the photograph a romantic, timeless quality that showcases Whitby's enduring charm as one of England's most picturesque harbor towns.
