This is such a great #photo! The unnamed #photographer had a couple of options when #Epstein's victims were asked to raise their hands if they were still awaiting to meet with the #DOJ. With #PamBondi in the foreground, they could totally have used a different #focal length to get everyone into #focus. But they deliberately choose to focus on the victims, leaving #Bondi blurred out. This is the beauty and genius of #photography, how one technical decision changes everything.

#SuryaBonaly's story at the 1998 #Nagano #WinterOlympics is a marvel

She committed an error and was out of medal contention. So she went "fuck it, if the judges don't appreciate me for my athletic gifts, I am going to win on my own terms" and was the first Olympic woman to do a #backflip in #figureskating *on one blade*

And sure enough, we talk about that today more than anything else from then

"Fuck the haters, I'll win on my terms, I'm going to live my life"

Be like Surya

A key player at the floundering DoubleThree Hotel and Casino—whether it’s the determined GM, the nostalgic game dev, or the optimistic new hire—or the eccentric exterminator/security “expert” trying to squash both bugs and breaches.

What could go wrong?
