I could go get it and look, but it's 11:50 pm. I did some good work with it with film, but I think my DSLR EOS 60D captured more of what I was seeing. (I did some tweaking in RAW because I didn't really capture what I was seeing -- if that makes sense.) Can't tweak film.

MAKE THEM OWN IT. sorry to shout it. But yeah. And also Make people understand how Project 2025 will impact their lives. No Overtime? No Contraception? Schedule F and other procedures aren't the way. NOT the way.

That is literally how the Dems should campaigning. This manual seems to say that they want to takeaway NFL games. NASCAR races. Baseball games. Americas pass time? Sunday games? Not so much.

Dammit. Now I have to separate Art from religious fundamentalist conspiracy theorist artist and watch it again to find a coded message from a TV writer I really like. And will then forget that there is a coded message there because this is a skeet.

I've seen someone who is reading it post a few paragraphs of it touting going to church and lamenting how Sundays used to be about not doing anything but contemplating god and being with your abusive family. Wait, I'm being told the Christian Nationalists are objecting to abusive.

I'm sorry if this tag causes problems, but @kevinmkruse.bsky.social on the other site posted something about how Biden is very Center Dem, but he had been pulled left if that's where the people wanted.
He's a centrist, but it's between center and progressive and he finds the middle.

Not a question, more of a comment, (part 1 of 349) (349) I love your posts about cameras and film and your photos. I will never get any of those cameras, but I still find it fascinating. Staying here with a Canon EOS 60D. Thanks.

NB: narcissists/systematic abusers usually have a consistent internal narrative: they are oppressed & misunderstood & they are a good person. So they do good things for people sometimes & they charm, to buff up a fragile ego & reinforce this story to themselves & world: they are One of the Good Ones

I just want to point out that we do know a lot more now about how to keep people alive longer. But I also know that it is very individualistic. Both my grandmothers got into their 90s. I'd like to think I have 40 years left for a 3rd act. But I drink a lot, so it may only be 30.

Anyway, if there’s one thing that absolutely paves the way for fascism: it’s this: Conditioning people to deny the reality before them and attacking, punishing, and accusing them of being “traitors” if they do not. Seems worth considering.

Yeah, it's still a pandemic unless and until we have an effective and easily available cure. Just because the gov't said, "We won't keep tracking numbers" doesn't mean there aren't numbers. And managing risk isn't living. And that's all everyone is doing -- managing risk.

My Rep is a PoS who never talks to his constituents. We managed to get rid of a Senator who was like that last time, fucking Toomey, and I hope we can get rid of this fraud next time, fucking Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick literally doesn't listen.

As a life long PA person, yeah it will. Also, the hints about stopping Sunday sports, even in the red parts of the state, will hit hard. They go to church, then they watch football, but that part really makes it seem like they want Sunday to be all family all the time. No Football. or NASCAR.

That's my gut feeling, too. Especially if they get on the whole: - businesses closed on Sunday, possibly no NFL or MLB? - No overtime pay - no contraception, and getting rid of no-fault divorce - No Soc Sec or Medicare - no religious freedom Stop talking about Schedule F and other procedures.

Wait, it's Wunderkind, isn't it? As a person who understands that "kindergarten" means "garden of children", I really should have spelled "Wonder Child" correctly up there. Sorry. For me, a lifelong stutterer amped up for that debate comes out trying too hard? I'm still benefit of the doubt guy.

I don't know either. There is no Wunderkin in the wings. @legalminimum.bsky.social has pointed out people have West Wing Brain here and are expecting Josh to pull out a Santos, but there isn't a Santos this time.
I think, tho, that messaging about closing businesses on Sunday will work. For example

It's not the kids, necessarily. It's the parents who were perfectly fine with slavery and raised the kids who are learning the slavery and racism they (the parents) were fine with was bad who are freaking out. As much as kids dislike school, they also do tend to want to learn. And learn the truth.

#1 - I hate Fox's soccer coverage anyway, but that is a terrible graphic. Are those little blips above COL supposed to be cards? And I have no problem with occasionally noting "10 players" in the graphic. #2 - That puck was the worst thing ever. 50 years of hockey on TV and *that's* what was wrong?

You are correct. I tend to think you dance with the one who brought you, but with the correct messaging about what Project 2025 means to the every day lives of people, Harris could pull it out, too. Anyone else, and the media non-online people read are gonna kill us.

Get rid of him and bring back Kung Fu. This might be referencing an earlier CW discussion about charismatic people solving moderately difficult issues weekly. Seriously, though, I didn't know he was that much of a disaster for shareholders, too.

And the CW did it well. They maybe stumbled into it, but they really let it fly with the Arrowverse. For non-SciFi stuff (CW mostly was) USA and TNT had several of their own, including Leverage. And literal SciFi, later SyFy, had a few. We had from late 90s until private equity and Wall Street.

That too. But besides football, it really sounds like they want to go back to closing businesses on Sunday, and I grew up with that and it sucks. And I can't believe corporations are willing to give up 1/7 (probably not exact) of their revenue. Sunday night pizza? Gone.

I am going by reports, and almost all say he had bad start, but I've read more than a few that said he got better as it went on. And he's done like 10 events since then all fine? I'm also, if not JB, Harris and if you don't think she's going to get worse than he's getting, well I have a bridge...

Still hate it, callback or no. Wait, this is about Supernatural, right? CW was so on top of things they had several shows with vampires in them.
