It IS a legit question, I guess. There's no...I hesitate to use the term punctum, but there isn't any particular point of focus. But, you know, just look at it.

This is a real interaction! Imagine smiling while Trump calls your state "troubled people" that will "never be good" without Federal intervention! But, hey, at least he was awake and didn't grab any of them "by the p-word"! Winning? #brennabird #ashleyhinson #MMM Watch: bsky.app/profile/head...

I think we all need to go through a Daido phase, just to get it out of our system. (I admit, it's not totally out of my system; I still occasionally go hard and high contrast.)

These are wonderful portraits, but the fact that Itsuro Naraki was friendly with Frank & influenced by his work doesn't mean his work is reminiscent of Frank. These are formal street portraits, which is far from what Frank did. 'Nomads' is lovely book, though. Better than his 'Dancers' in my view.

riding a bike for errands is such a different type of experiencing the world. I cant tell you how many times Ive just talked to a stranger at a place because we were both bike riders. Cars just dont create that same sense of community. That ton of iron separates you from humanity.

BREAKING 📣 For several days, a peaceful protest took place in the morning, after a young child was killed by a car driver. The child was riding his bike to school, the father with him. The grieving community came together with hundreds of people, cyclist or not, creating a 3km long human bike lane.

8 years ago today, Christine Blasey Ford testified to the Senate that she'd been sexually assaulted by SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The Senate confirmed Kavanaugh by a vote of 50–48. 10 years ago, Hillary Clinton was admonished for calling some Trump supporters a 'basket of deplorables'.

Two things. First, the cat, with pinpoint accuracy, puked kibble on the TV remote. Second, as I was attempting to clean that astonishing mess, I saw something odd outside. A leaf, falling, had been caught by a single strand of spider web.

I find myself happily living in a farm state without any understanding at all of farming, farm life, or farm culture. But yesterday I visited a couple of historic barns and saw some old tractors. #ricohgr3x #ricohsnaps #photography #DemocraticCamera #RuralStuff

I like to pretend that a few GOP folks terrified of losing office will decide the ONLY way they might retain power is by impeaching Trump just before the election. It'll never happen, but it's nice to think about.

My mistake. Christy Moore recorded the song; it was written by Ewan MacColl (who is probably best known for writing 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face').

Shot this as I was walking down the stairs to the riverwalk. Spent the next 2-3 minutes looking at this scene from different perspectives, thinking there might be a better composition. Never shot another frame. #ricohgr3x #ricohsnaps #photography #DemocraticCamera #urbanphotography

Preserve the original; ensure edited versions are clearly labeled as revised editions. Maybe include an afterword explaining the revisions. I think it's important for the original to be preserved for comparison.

The president’s recent ban of three media outlets—@cnn.com, @ms.now, and @politico.com—from the White House is viewpoint discrimination, clearly prohibited by the First Amendment. It’s just one facet of his legally dubious assault on the free press. youtube.com/shorts/TfoJd...

Rugby sevens are insanely fun to watch (and probably to play). It's physical, but the fact that you have half the number of players on a field the same size as rugby 15 means the emphasis shifts to evasion & speed rather than brute force.
