Everyone who shoots races must wonder what they'd do if getting a shot could kill them. In October 1980 I got the chance to find out when Jerry Hurley's car hit the guardrail in Seattle and exploded coming towards me at 120 mph. Got the shots! (and Jerry lived!)

So sorry to have disturbed you, love. It's noon.

A close-up, slightly blurry action shot of a tan and black dog tucked into a bed with yellow, patterned bedding. The dog is positioned in the center, resting its head on a pillow while covered by a matching duvet. Its mouth is wide open in a mid-yawn or shake, creating a motion blur that shows its teeth and tongue. One ear is tucked back while the other points upward against the yellow fabric. In the background, a dark metal headboard is visible against a plain, light-colored wall.

I've learned a few things from TikTok.

I'm shook by how many American fams eat off of paper plates.

Everyone does, and here I am trying to make sure my Dollar General receipts end up in the correct bin.

Back in 2016 I worked as a producer on Season 4 of the sketch comedy show Caution May Contain Nuts which aired on APTN. I brought a camera to set almost every day so for the next little while I'll share some BTS photos with you. Here's some shots of Kevin McDonald on set at WEM.

A wide shot captures a film set in what appears to be a shopping mall. The focus is on Kevin McDonald standing in front of a green screen, presumably acting for a scene. He is wearing a dark coat and looks directly ahead, his expression serious. A boom microphone is positioned above him, held by a person wearing a black cap. The green screen takes up a significant portion of the background, and to the right, there is a bright light source illuminating the scene. Several crew members are scattered around, some facing the camera while others are focused on their tasks. One person in the foreground is wearing a red and white striped shirt and a red beanie, sitting in a director's chair. The presence of film equipment, including cameras and lighting rigs, indicates an active production environment. The setting includes mall storefronts, which are partially visible in the background, adding context to the location. The lighting is a mix of natural and artificial, creating a bright and focused atmosphere around the set. The presence of a Cinnzeo sign in the upper left indicates the location of the shopping mall establishment. Cables and wires snake along the floor, adding to the organized chaos typical of a film set. Several people are holding scripts and other production materials, further emphasizing the professional nature of the setup.

The image captures Mark Meer, Howie Miller, Kevin McDonald, and Sheldon Elter, posing for a photo. The setting is a multi-level indoor space with elements suggesting a nautical theme, possibly a restaurant or attraction. The lighting is bright and somewhat diffused, creating a well-lit environment. The background features a large wooden structure resembling a ship, complete with rigging and masts. Greenery is visible in the background as well. The first man, dressed in a brown pirate coat and a black tricorne hat, wears long dark hair and facial makeup, creating a somewhat menacing expression. The second man, also dressed as a pirate, has a black hat and a yellow striped vest. He is wearing black gloves and has dark facial hair and makeup. The third man is wearing a blue police uniform, complete with a badge and belt, and is looking at the camera with a neutral expression. The fourth man is dressed in a red and white striped shirt and a red knit cap, creating a comical appearance. He is wearing glasses and also looks at the camera. The overall atmosphere is playful and theatrical, suggesting a staged event or performance.

This is a realistic scene depicting Kevin McDonald standing on a wooden ship structure, which appears to be an exhibit or display, possibly within a shopping mall or public space. The man, dressed in a light blue uniform shirt and darker pants, looks off to the side with a neutral expression. His dark hair is receding, and he has a serious demeanor. He holds onto a thick rope, part of the ship's rigging. The ship itself is elaborately decorated with carvings and gold accents, including ornate railings and ropes. The foreground shows the ship's rope netting and railings, creating a textured, detailed view. The background reveals a brightly lit interior space with multiple levels, retail signs, and an open atmosphere. The lighting is warm, casting a yellow hue on the scene, which highlights the gold details of the ship. The floor is shiny and reflects the ambient light. The overall setting implies an indoor recreation area within a commercial environment, where visitors can interact with historical or fantasy-themed displays. The scene has a blend of artificial lighting and natural-looking textures, contributing to a sense of theatrical realism. The man's presence suggests he may be a security guard or attendant, ensuring the safety of the exhibit.

The image captures a scene with two men, likely on a film set or during a performance. In the foreground, Kevin McDonald, dressed in a light blue police uniform, displays a surprised expression, his eyes wide and mouth slightly open. The uniform includes a badge on the sleeve and a radio clipped to the shirt. His skin has a slightly reddish tone, and his curly hair is disheveled. He looks directly towards something on his right side. Behind him, another man stands holding film equipment. He is wearing a dark green t-shirt, a patterned newsboy cap, and glasses. A beard covers much of his face. The equipment he holds, possibly a monitor and camera, is mounted on a tripod. The background is softly blurred, suggesting an outdoor or indoor setting with warm, yellowish lighting. The lighting seems to emphasize the subjects in the foreground. The overall atmosphere has a candid feel, like a behind-the-scenes moment caught on camera. Some blurred shapes and colors are visible in the lower left corner which might be the hair of a bystander or other crew member. The palette is dominated by blues, greens, and yellows, creating a slightly vintage aesthetic. The depth of field is shallow, keeping the foreground sharp while the background remains out of focus.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."

That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

I usually keep the decks clear all winter. I'm fairly certain this upper deck was clear in early December - about 5 weeks ago. It's now 34 inches deep. Whitehorse, Yukon.

It starts to feel as though, in spite of all the sly editorial cartoons, Editorials, rants and jokes by late-night talk show hosts, Bluesky posts, Threads posts, Facebook posts, YouTube videos and memes, that the U.S. is rapidly becoming a chaotic dictatorship guided by oligarchs.

A high-angle, medium shot shows a large, tan-and-black dog with a black muzzle and soulful eyes, sitting upright in a vibrant orange wingback chair. The dog is looking directly at the camera with a serious, almost regal expression. It has a pink-and-purple patterned collar and a patch of white fur on its chest. The dog’s front legs are braced on the seat of the chair, and its hind legs are tucked to the side. The background is a plain white wall.

Watching people try to figure out how to justify this 37 year old mother being murdered by her country is insane.
