If a man charge a man with sorcery, and cannot prove it, he who is charged with sorcery shall go to the river, into the river he shall throw himself and if the river overcome him, his accuser shall take to himself his house (estate).
I remember when this rhetorical move was distinctive/novel enough that it hadn't been identified and named yet.

Unfortunately I didn't get the whole thing (shooting from a moving bus in traffic is difficult) but "THIRSTI" with the "Brazzers" plate frame is probably the most notable one I've seen in person.

It should be illegal to announce you're showing Draughtsman's Contract two months in advance. This should be something I find out about that week, not something I have to wait until March for.

I get that this is nightmarish but at this point I think so little of people that I'm surprised they don't love this idea.

Saw this listing and briefly thought "Oh my God, they made a movie of John Lyly's Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit?" Apparently it's not that though, it's about baseball.

This book might be really good and I will probably end up reading it but, based on the title and this description it sounds like something Chairman Sheng-Ji Yang would have written.

My copy of this has a big heart drawn in ballpoint pen around Brian's face and it says "yummy" on the other side with the biography part. Everything is ambiguous.

This didn't come out great on the negative but I kind of like it. I think I could make a decent print of it though.

The store gave me the back scans of some extremely expired rolls I let them handle the development of and I might be kind of not horrible at photography? I mean the machine does most of the work but still.

Not going to post pictures of my family but some of these from this first roll of B&W I developed came out okay even through this crappy negative scanner I bought. Scanning these four at a time is a pain in the ass though, I'm going to have to get an SD card so I can do this more effectively.

I know I am still living better than them but my ability to draw equanimity from the fact that my ancestors could not even imagine the material comforts that even I as a huge loser enjoy does get a little attenuated when I randomly don't have electricity surprisingly often despite it being 2024.
