I photographed the opening of the Ridgefield Art Gallery, where my wife is a managing member. I like these dark and moody images looking in from outside.

Crowded art gallery opening with visitors viewing framed artwork on white walls, track lighting overhead. Visitors mingling at a gallery event, some taking selfies, with lens flare from overhead lights. Window sign reading “RIDGEFIELD art gallery” with tagline “A local artist cooperative brought to you by the Ridgefield Art Association 501(c)(3)” with blurred visitors and balloons inside. Gallery visitors viewing framed artwork along a corridor, as a musician plays the guitar in the lower right corner.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

There have been no good reasons for staying on Twitter for years now, but at this point you will have to follow up any of your remaining excuses with “…and I don’t care about the child pornography.” (source)

At this point I’m not sure this is enough to convince anyone who is still there. They all have their excuses locked down.

We’re watching The Hobbit trilogy in December and LOTR in January. I think this will be a new annual tradition.

Checking out kipclip. Something I’ve been wanting for a while is a pinboard alternative built on ATProto. I like that this one is built on a community schema for PDS storage, as opposed to Rito. I wonder if the community lexicon will become standard?

That said, I like Rito’s pinboard-ish UI and that it has search+social features. Trying to decide which approach makes more sense long-term. How much does the schema matter in practice?

kipclip also has built-in tag management, which is essential imo. If you rename a tag, it renames it across all your bookmarks. 👌

Watching the new SpongeBob movie, pray for me. Kid likes it tho (source)

There was an awesome animated ninja turtles short before the movie about how AI sucks and steals everything

I’m planning to catch up on the last few seasons of Stranger Things, but decided to restart from the beginning. Currently on Season 2. It’s so good.

Kanopy app

Today I learned about Kanopy, and more people should know this: a whole ad-free streaming app you can access with your library card!

Check to see if your library is a member (mine is, and has a great catalog).

Having just introduced the kids to hitchhiker’s guide for the first time we were recently discussing this. 😆

So Oath Keepers who stormed the capitol get pardons but oath keepers who uphold the constitution get gallows. Got it.

Is it just me or do half of the films available for purchase through Apple TV no longer have trailers

Can we all agree that tapping out emails on your iPad makes you some kind of criminal

Chipotle cut its growth projections for the 3rd quarter in a row, citing the fact that it bet big on appealing to younger customers and they’re now broke. The stock is down -22% following earnings. (source)

I’m sure this has nothing to do with the awful food and service. We used to love Chipotle but quit going because it sucks now.

I like the new unknown senders UI in Apple Messages on iOS. Now if only they had a block + delete + report spam combo.

If you don’t want me to like all your posts you should stop posting photos of your dog

SNL should do a sketch where Kenan Thompson explains the Department of Homeland Security’s social media content to Andrew Daly as Benjamin Franklin from The Office

Explaining the Department of Homeland Security:

“So there’s a mythical place called hyperborea”

Nicotine subsumes basically all my other compulsive behaviors in one neat little addiction and as a bonus makes my brain function. Always a bummer when I’m reminded of this.

I photographed #NoKings today in Vancouver, WA. This was a particularly fun one. Current events may be dire, but you would’t know it from the joyful thousands in the streets. This feels like something different.

Full photo set here.

Behind them a sign reads 'RIBBIT. RESIST. REPEAT. NO HOPE WITHOUT HOPE' with a frog illustration A motion blur flash photo of a tree with protesters in the background, and a sign that reads “UNTRUMP THE WORLD”

My $2,200 TV just interrupted my movie to make me accept some new terms of service. Wtf are we even doing.

Naturally I couldn’t find the remote.

Watching the Addams Family and after the scene where Wednesday fires a crossbow at Pugsley while he holds an apple in his mouth, I’m like “never do that kids” — to which my youngest (7, the Pugsley of the two) exclaims, “we don’t have a crossbow!”
