As an aviator, I follow quite a few aviation related forums online. Flying related videos are often algorithmically pushed in my direction. It’s no surprise that a number of videos and forums around the recent Lear Jet crash in Florida have been pushed in my direction. Here is my first thought: do not listen to the ATC recordings. While the co-pilot did an incredible job of maintaining her composure and communicating what was happening, the ATC recordings are distressing and hard to listen to.…

I’m always ready to try the new products from Torriden especially the ones added to their DIVE IN line. I’ve tried most of the products from that specific line and ended up loving majority of them. So whenever I see a new product added to it, I immediately add it to my cart, and sometimes […]

I’ve never been one to enter contests, so I give these away for free . The post Monopoly appeared first on @Kevuhnn / 📸 / 📚 / 🇨🇦.

TL;DR indice is a new open source tool for searching web archives. Install it locally or give the demo a try. Email me if you want to give the curator privileges a try. Not too long ago I wrote about reading rooms for the archived web, or web sites that provide contextualized access to archived web content. The basic idea is that an aspirational reading room like this provides index, browse, search, and descriptive layers that archival records need in order to be found and used by researchers.…

Review by Sandre the Giant Released: 6th June 2026 Chilean death metal stalwarts Godless have been around since 1997, but ‘Adversus Parousia’ is only their second full length, and that has been sixteen years in the making. I cannot deny the excitement that the Chilean underground scene generates in me when I see those words on a promo email, but for such a venerated group of scene veterans to release a new record after such a long time, as their scene is blossoming into its full potential, is…

I have been using Debian Linux for a long time, off and on over the years, before finally completely discarding Windows a few years ago. I have dabbled with Linux since around 1999 and have tried many distros in the ensuing years. My first step into Linux was Red Hat 6. I would dual boot my Windows 2000 computer with Red Hat, but never made Linux my home. But I played with so many versions (Slackware, SUSE, Gentoo, Debian, Mandrake, etc.) over the years that my oldest boy learned it, mastered…

Mission San Xavier del Bac – Tucson, AZ – Fujifilm X-E5 – Kodak Vericolor VPS Two weeks ago when I published 3 Must-Try Fujifilm Recipes, I noted that the idea for the article came from Dan Bailey, who I met in-person at Fujikina NYC last month. When people are new to Fujifilm cameras and Film Simulation Recipes, it’s difficult to know where to begin. There are over 400 Recipes on the Fuji X Weekly website and in the App, and figuring out which ones to use first can be overwhelming. Dan…

I had a dream last night that Obama ran for president again, but he ended up using his platform to vent about how he was treated the first time he was elected. He had receipts and was calling random people by their full government names for talking shit online. I think this happened because I watched Obama's Anger Translator a couple weeks ago.

Perfume PosseVenturing Out and FM Northern Love So we are off of Daylight Savings time, which gave us an extra hour to doze. Or, since it was Halloween in West Hollywood, an extra hour to party. Since my partying days went out with hoop skirts, I stayed… Continue Reading → Perfume PosseVenturing Out and FM Northern Love

I read a post from August on Bubbles titled "I don't enjoy the Internet any more" and while I mostly agree with him, I think the pale metaphor lets people off the hook. The pale just happens. This doesn’t. Every LLM-written Hacker News post and every coworker slinging outputs at him is someone deciding that’s good enough. He even says it should be considered rude, which is an argument about people, not the tool. He’s right that LLMs killed effort as a signal of quality, and that’s a real loss.…

THE FOLLOWING WAS WRITTEN BY MY FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE ALONSO DURALDE. YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT HIM HERE. WHAT’S NEW ON 4K/BLU/DVD IN OCTOBER: I WANT YOUR SEX, HELL HOUSE, CRITERION’S KUBRICK COLLECTION, AND MORE! NEW RELEASE WALL I Want Your Sex (Magnolia): It’s been a big year for Olivia Wilde, who directed and co-starred in indie hit The Invite and has a memorable supporting turn in the upcoming Behemoth! But she also scored a deliciously outrageous lead turn in Gregg Araki’s sex comedy, as an…

Read Exit Party Emily St. John Mandel ★★★★★ “I think if you live long enough,” Nico said, “you become a migrant from another timeline. There’s the world you learn to navigate as you enter adulthood, and then that world slips away from you by degrees, and after a while there’s nothing left of it, but you’re still here. That’s what I mean.” And He locks the studio door behind her, thinking about the poem again. The point isn’t that the candle won’t last the night. Everything is temporary. The…

I never, ever want to hear, see, or read about this person again. I am curious as to how many other comparable whack jobs are working in government of all levels.

Contrary to my very own nature, I see myself as an achiever. I want to be someone people look up to and admire. Beneath the introvertedness is a part of me who's proud. I want to learn how to speak in public confidently. Sing my songs with a band in front of people. Perform a dance routine. Make others laugh. Showcase my art in a gallery. I want to be an image of success. But my meekness always takes over. When the opportunity presents itself, I retreat. There's always that pull from the…

three Lawlers: Alligator, Monogram, and Untitled, all around 100 cm tall, AP 1/1, collection artic greg.org hero Wayne Bremser posted this early Lawler, Alligator, which I’d never noticed before. I think I’ve somehow never seen it, because I would really expect if I ever saw a Lacoste sling sofa with a giant alligator under a polished brass Donald Judd unit MOUNTED TO THE DOORS OF SOMEONE’S CHÂTEAU or whatever, I would have remembered it. I’m imagining Judd flipping his lid. And the artist…

This is a recap-ish of the latest podcast episode. You can listen to the episode below before or after you read. That’s because I tend to expand on topics from the pod as well as straight-up write about things that we did not discuss. The choice is yours in how you want to proceed! Hello! I hope you all had a fun Hallo-weekend! It goes without saying that much of the recent pod covered the spooky holiday and the menswear-friendly costumes we donned this year! We’re always about making do with…

Fatherland isn’t like other movies — at least not like most of the movies we see these days. Polish director Pawel Pawlikowski (Ida and Cold War) hovers somewhere between realism and carefully honed style. He seldom squeezes his characters into suffocating close-ups. But Pawlikowski, who isn't afraid to film in black and white, shouldn't be considered a pure stylist; his movies are rooted in substance. In Fatherland, Pawlikowski follows a 1949 journey famed author Thomas Mann made to Germany,…

So I finally voted in the U.S. midterm elections. For the past two weeks or so, I've been receiving a couple of politicians texting me slinging mud left and right. Not to mention the absolute ton of fliers flooding into my postal mail box of politicians flinging mud left and right. And then yesterday, I received at least a dozen political spam texts to my phone (God, I hate it that the anti-spam laws exempt politicians, but what else is new?). At least that's over with for the next few months.…

Jason Snell at Six Colors: With the release of the first developer beta of watchOS 27.3, Apple is unleashing the last of its Audio Intelligence features on the world: Siri Recap and Live Rewind join Sound Recognition and Music Recognition (a favorite watchOS 27 feature of mine). These other two new features have been met with a lot of skepticism, as they walk right up to the edge of making your Apple Watch a device for covert recording. I still think Siri Recap and Live Rewind shouldn't exist,…

“Here Comes Your Man” (Pixies) by Anya Marina

I went relatively early this morning. I didn’t catch much in the way of waves. But I got thrown around a good deal. Delightfully so. The water is cooling, but definitely not the right temperature for November in California. I saw a fellow, older, on a stand-up paddleboard. “SUP” some shorten the name to. He was shredding. That’s good. So incredible. Older fellow. Older than me I think. And shredding. I love the water. Sign my Guestbook | Contact Me

Red Barn – Ronks, PA – Fujifilm GFX100S II – Kodachrome 64 Some people love AI and think it’s the greatest thing ever, and some people hate AI and think it’s the single worst thing to ever happen to humanity. I’m more in the middle, but leaning slightly closer to “single worst thing” than “greatest thing ever”, as I have a somewhat pessimistic outlook on it because I see a lot of negative aspects. For that reason, I avoid AI as much as practical, but I have found it to be helpful occasionally,…

Today’s recording starts with the end of Deadly 60 Bites. There’s a trail for Trapped: Ever After. Then it’s The Sarah Jane Adventures – Death of the Doctor, Part 1. Sarah Jane gets a visit from UNIT and Colonel Karim, played by Laila Rouass off of Primeval. She breaks the news that the Doctor is dead. The news is brought by aliens called the Shansheeth, “known throughout the universe as the carers of the dead. It is said they trawl the battlefields of outer space, looking for heroes to bring…

Click here to book . . St. Martin, Ludgate with St. Paul’s Cathedral, c. 1900 At this time of year, when dusk gathers in the mid-afternoon, a certain fog drifts into my brain and the city itself grows mutable as the looming buildings outside my window merge into a dark labyrinth of shadows beyond. Yet this is as nothing compared with the smog of old London – in the days before anyone dreamed of the Ultra Low Emission Zone – when a million coal fires polluted the atmosphere with clouds of filthy…

Three fresh originals from Florecer that sorta serve as a diary, a travelogue. A document of the duo’s globe-trotting journeys while raising their infant daughters. “What I Knew”, recorded in Lisbon, consists of a series of promises made by the pair to their children, set to a pretty pop skank. With a little Spanish guitar, machined marimba melody, dubbed out timbales and keys like Latin horns adding up to a definite Mediterranean summer holiday lilt, it’s another piece of music that coulda…
