Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Screw AI, what's your favorite real photo?
Mine's currently The Fall of Icarus by Andrew McCarthy. Yes, this is a real photo of skydiver Gabriel C. Brown plummeting against the actual, real sun taken through a telescope 1.5 miles away from the jump in November of 2025.
I. Love. Real. Humans.

There's a fucking ICONIC picture in this thread of a young woman lighting a cigarette using a burning picture of Khamenei
And I just undid my repost of it because I'm legitimately scared for her safety if her image goes as viral as it would and deserves to
Which kind of days it all

Here's a guaranteed way neither of those things happen: never talking about it; never making the case it needs to happen.
I am tired of this "don't try until the people just magically back your play and the wind is at your back" nonsense.

Of course, none of this is going to happen. Abolishing ICE is about as likely as fixing the electoral college.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the sort of times when you should ask your doctor if Celexa is right for you. Common side effects of the times included agitation, blurred vision, confusion, and decreased interest in sexual intercourse.

I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

Passing by a scrap yard in Austin, my wife said she saw a Hamburglar Cop. Well, she could use some work on the character names, but it turned out they had both an Officer Big Mac Cell and a Carousel! Cool to see these in the wild!

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
