New #AI slop: “another angle” of an already viral video.
People will do anything for two second of attention except something interesting.
An unlikely quantum superposition of the best dad in the universe and the worst dad in the universe, according to my children anyway.

I loved how easy it was to set an icon for a device on Mac OS (I used a Mac at work and Windows at home)
I named the flash drive that I used to move data back and forth between home and work "Scotty" because it transported files.

So Chinese hospital ships are now in the Carribean, helping Jamaica.♥️🕊️
It's fascinating that we're all getting front row seats to see if threats and violence (US approach), or compliments and assistance (Chinese approach) will be more effective by 2030 at securing resources from developing nations.

Prior to the 21st century, the most effective way for an empire to build wealth, was unquestionably "Kill the Black and brown people, and steal their stuff."
The empires growing weath the fastest, were the most belligerent. Dutch. British. American.
But in the 21st century, that's less effective.🤷🏿♂️
In the 21st century the superpower growing wealth the fastest, is by far the least belligerent, least imperial, least colonizing.
(I didn't say zero violent or zero colonizing. I said least. If you've never taken even one African history course or lived on the continent, don't try to speak on this)
Shout out to everyone that will misread this as being pro-China. This has nothing to do with China. Americans, this has 100% to do with us.
You can't change another nation's approach. You can only change your own.
We can't stop their hospital ship from docking. But we can send ours.
Compete.

"Too Perfect" — thoughts on a certain landscape photography contest's results, and some head scratching about landscape photography in general in my latest blog post:
Just got home. I’m so sick and all I want to do is start organizing and cleaning the #darkroom
However my actual capacity is “barely able to hold the phone up and type”
I was feeling better earlier when we got home but unpacking the van in 14 degree weather with stupid winds just took everything out of me
Nearly everyone in the family is sick and it’s time to drive home from the funeral. We have a day between major snowstorms to work with here, so we can’t stay an extra day.
I feel fine when I am sitting down but when I sit up I feel awful. Fun times!
This whole trip I have been missing analog photography. I am looking at my iPhone camera with disdain and cannot even imagine caring about using it. That said, everyone is posting such lovely pictures I feel like I have to do something
