First round of silver halide test prints from my so far total cost $60 darkroom which is in fact my kitchen counter but it works okay on dark nights.

B&H just sent me a 100’ roll of T-Max 100 that expires in five weeks and I’m kind of miffed. This stuff is as pricey as film gets. #filmphotography

Dear God don’t let Olivia Nuzzi anywhere near Bernie Sanders.

You think your dog is smart? Okay, but let me know when your dog can do this.

Kind of weird that no MSM journalists seem to know, or are allowed to explain, what democratic socialism is and why it’s not goddamn communism.

Paddy Chayefsky would be proud of the mad as hell and not going to take it any more vibe tonight.

He left the mark of Zohran on some faces with that speech.
November 5, 2025 at 4:58 AM
My God, but Zohran is breathing fire. Brilliant speech.

Zohran name checks Debs in the first sentence!

Great.

If Zohran does not immediately build a Navy of New York and blockade Statin Island this will have been for naught.

The glamorous life of a pilot. This was one of the planes I used to drag banners in. It went on to kill a friend of mine. A fun, but shady company where we (pilots) were encouraged to do crazy shit, including upholding the tradition of throwing grappling hooks at ground crew. 1/2

People compare that piece of shit trump to hitler, but he is more like stalin than hitler. stalin thought he had all the answers, killed science, built a colossal NKVD—his ICE—to wage war on his own citizens, used hunger as a WMD, and many more parallels. miller is his beria; bondi his vychinsky.

Marx said that excessive wealth polarization would lead the poor to revolt. Lenin found that this is not true; it only makes the poor focus more on short-term relief—providing a malevolent political tool. Steve Bannon described himself as a Leninist. GOP's SNAP move now is an example of Leninism.

Dems on TV? With trump getting ready to steal $230 million over his hurt fee-fees by the Russia investigation, it might be a good time to hammer the message home that he IS A FUCKING TRAITOR.

The images of the East Wing being demolished are potent symbols that Dem electeds would use if they had a clue.

Sounds like these stupid rednecks would like nothing more than a few thousand of those menacing caravans Fox was hyping last year.
“The whole thing is screwed up,” said John Painter, a three-time Trump voter who runs an organic dairy farm in Westfield. “We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do.”

Incredible.
