Suspended from commenting on Tiktok due to this, apparently offensive, comment. (Video was an Idaho State Trooper saying it's illegal to run a malfunctioning red light and that a cop won't care that it wouldn't change...but in Colorado, our lawmakers thought about that).

Saw these together in the trending tab, and one of these is a far better constructed version of the same joke:

Another example of the phone's Basic processing for a JPEG, vs. an edited RAW. Biggest annoyance to me is that Google doesn't make it super easy to reliably download the RAWs in a batch for editing...

Flight 2026-31. MAD-DUB. I fucking hate going home through Dublin because being airside and having to go through security again anyway is so fucking stupid.

Flight 2026-30. LYS-BCN. Been a whirlwind of a few days. So much so that I forgot to even post this one, and am about to step on another plane to head home, lol. I'll get to Spain photos soon.

Jack Johnson and Lake Street Drive last night at Fiddler's Green. It's a shame this venue doesn't get more artists I want to see, because I've always loved the lawn here.

Another example. The phone's JPEG on the left obviously has more detail, but it's almost so sharp it looks fake. Like an oil paint filter was placed on it. Using the RAWs, I'm only able to sharpen so much, and it doesn't fully bring back all the details, but it feels more like a real memory/photo.

Decided to turn RAW/Jpeg on in my phone's camera settings. The RAWs are definitely a bit more blurry because the phone's digital processing isn't compensating for the fact that phone cameras are actually small and shitty, but I like the way it keeps it looking more natural and nostalgic.

This picture I took back in 2023 would have been so good if this bird wasn't such a fuckin' doofus.

Going to the bathroom at one of our local kava bars is like stepping into the backrooms.

Started the day walking through the souks again. Found a lovely shop to buy some souvenirs. Almost got invited to a wedding by the shopkeeper. Love Moroccans, lol.

The vibe of navigating Marrakech's winding maze of streets at night.

With the delay to Marrakech, we didn't get to spend as much time wandering as we wanted, but had a really excellent time enjoying the chaos of Jemaa el-Fnaa.

Rome's sky stays beautiful through all stages of the sunset.

We were only in Rome for the evening, but that's enough to take a stroll down to the Colosseum, to see how it's been.

And, of course, no series of Istanbul posts is complete without the cats of Istanbul. (I also threw in one cat we saw in Conversano, IT, last night.)

Landed in Istanbul tonight, and already stunned by what a beautiful city it is. On top of that, everyone has been so very nice. Can't wait to explore more tomorrow.

I feel like a lot of people who don't live in Denver *do* know about the demon horse statue outside our airport (a horse with glowing red eyes, that actually killed its own sculptor). But I'm not sure all of those people know that it *also* has a full on engorged butthole, for some reason.
