It seems like Realtors spend most of their time giving each other awards. In all seriousness, what's the deal with that?

My contribution to the from last night! I hadn't planned on venturing too far but as night drew closer and I saw all the amazing photos I packed up the gear and headed into the mountains!

Guess I’m gonna have to figure out how to take photos of the aurora 😬

@Teri_Kanefield I'm sad that you won't chat about this stuff anymore, it’s one of the main reasons I followed you years ago because I appreciated your reasoned approach on these subjects. But it seems the angry commentators and people riled up about stuff have broken the ability for us to have civil discussion 🙁

I've never once been the enraged person messaging you, but those people have broken civil discourse in so many ways. I appreciate your work, I won't ask questions any longer.

@Teri_Kanefield as someone who’s spent zero time in courtrooms other than almost being a juror I’m curious, is it normal to violate a judges order ten times and not end up in jail by noon? And I realize there’s gray area here. Just curious because it seems extreme 😳

Big game devs and publishers sure know how to take truly amazing games and destroy them. There’s absolutely no reason for this change and yet, it’s being forced. Taking one of the biggest games in years and giving it a massive black eye.

I feel terrible for the developers who actually created this game.

I just love the current trend in tech. Writing big documents and proposals about how we can use AI to solve all our problems 🙄

@josephschmitt I noticed some of your photos on Glass were taken on a Leica Q3, what do you think of it? I’ve been considering picking one up

Curious anyone out there who has a #Leica Q series what do you think of it? Any regrets? I’ve wanted one for a long time but the price stings #Photography

@cdlhamma@hachyderm.io avatar

This is one of the most asinine bills I've seen in a while that has broad support. 80% of the house agrees to ban TikTok, but not to enact real data privacy laws that protect us at home, or to improve border security, or prescription drug prices, health care.

I’m fairly convinced if we had the same mainstream in 2001 as we have today, they would have sat down for a one on one interview with Osama bin Ladin in a cave.

We live in the worst timeline. The only reason this exists is greed. This means that a photographer who spent years perfecting their craft of product and food won’t get this gig anymore. Instead we’ll get heartless, garbage images which will please the shareholders.

This headline amuses me because it completely admits where we are. At one point cutting the cord meant you saved money.

But now? It's gone full circle back to where we were. Everything is the same price and we're just admitting that its all

It’s funny how somehow nearly every day the first time I open something with audio on my iPhone the volume is cranked to 9000. How does this always happen?! 😂 it hurts the most on

How are people STILL falling for this ? This game is never getting finished folks. Crowd funding for this game began over a decade ago and most of what people are buying STILL does not exist. Stop. giving. them. money.

Had my first professional paid photo shoot today 😳 if you told me a year ago I’d have my own business I’d call you crazy.

It’s been an awesome year of growth for me and I immediately fell in love with horse photography, both events and portraits 🐎

I’ve posted a few photos here and will definitely be posting more soon!

I find that people who lean more conservative tend to be highly sensitive to crime happening within their neighborhood. Even a simple pumpkin smashing. It’s like they live in some kind of dream world where crime never happens.

My house was burgled many years ago and even I don’t know half the “crime” going on in my neighborhood. My neighbors though? This place is going to 💩 they say.

Must suck to live in fear all the time.

There are very few days I wish Radio Shack still existed. Today, today is one of those days.

You could just walk in with a busted power brick and say “I need this” and walk out a few minutes later with a replacement

It will never not rub me the wrong way when people scoff at those who are transplants to their "home town" people find all sorts of ways to make others feel excluded.

Is holding questions till the end of a meeting just not something people do anymore? I immediately lose interest in a meeting when it descends into endless questions. I'm interested in the content of the presenter and if I have questions I will wait till they are done.

I know this has been a thing for a bit, but it's such garbage worked perfectly fine locally without being connected. Users are being forced to login for... reasons. The continued of the Internet.
