This also reminds me of the show-runner of Darkwing Duck talking about how canon can help, but it has to serve good stories, and that old comic book and radio heroes often have conflicting canons so if a writer needed to break canon to tell a better story do it. The story is the important bit.

I haven't read her translation, I haven't seen his movie, but since I keep having to hear the debate anyway here's my personal stance that I previously assumed was just lukewarm: there's no right way to tell an oral legend, there's no wrong way to tell an oral legend, there's just how you tell it.

I see Cats of Yore is goading me to take a picture of one of our cats with the 1888 Dallmeyer for a real antique. I wonder if Shauni would be chill enough to let me. Hmmmm.....

Politics is like business in that it often holds the mistaken belief that it's best to appeal to as many people as possible, instead of being actively or even passionately wanted by a sufficient, smaller amount of the market. You do not need whole market capture for sufficiency.

Wow, just saw "progressive democrat wins primary threatening democrats' chances at a swing-seat" FROM A LEFT-LEANING SOURCE. Maybe I dunno, candidates that people actually want might be BETTER at winning things?

It wants to be in the grave but I summoned it back, so, least I could do for a first date was take it to the cemetery. Komaflex-S, Reflx Lab Pan 400 (Svema Foto 400) in 127

Off to another bumpy start. Had to unjam the camera (again), the new roll of film once again has the paper reversed so the end numbers are at the start AND it's Kodak not Ilford so no positioning circles, and the first two frames cocking the shutter released the mirror. Fuck it, we roll anyway.

The Kodak backing paper on this roll of 127 starts at 16 instead of 1.

There were complications (should’ve followed FPP’s dev time not Massive Dev’s but 6 minutes sounded short for ISO 400, film paper is backwards so it started in the wrong spot, camera didn’t lock on frame 10) but nonetheless there are in fact Komaflex negatives. And the survivors look SHARP.

If you’re that annoyed by being behind bikes maybe take the traffic artery one road over instead of the designated bike route residential street iunno

There are still edge cases where I have to use Amazon: they've cornered the market on some (mostly cheap sundry) things, and some brands and things use them for their own e-shop. But, I do all I can to exhaust other sources first.

A reminder: If you absolutely cannot boycott Amazon, don’t. But can you make them NOT your default? If every Amazon customer cut their spending by just 10%, Bezos would burst his facelift sutures. This doesn’t have to be an all or nothing.

As long as we can remember we've wanted to make something bland and forgettable, and that's why we're proud to introduce Thing. Thanks to the hard work of our thingineers we've managed to include 5% more thing than previously thought possible. We hope you'll love forgetting Thing as much as us.
