Some cameras are just timeless.

I’m worried they’re just stocking up for a massive ballistic missile attack because they know Patriot interceptors will be very precious and scarce for Ukraine.

Only the best for our brave "warfighters".

They're following the playbook of the russians.

I don't fault Proton for this. They have to follow Swiss law. Of course they were going to hand over the payment metadata. And I thought you might be joking at first about paying case, but I guess not!- proton.me/support/paym...

The most common questions I get while using my cameras in public are: how old is that, does that actually work, and can you still get film for that thing? No one has ever asked me how much the camera cost.

Alternatively it means that you could clobber the heck out of someone with that Medalist attached to a tripod.

The worst DHS Secretary in American history... so far! Lets not forget that Markwayne Mullins was just appointed to replace her.

If you've never worked with a large format camera before, I'm sure it'll be an interesting learning experience. 😅 Whether you'll find the experience fun or not, I have no idea.

Trump has fired a major cyber security investigations body. It’s a risky move The well-respected Cyber Safety Review Board investigated some of the worst cyber security attacks in US history. Now, it faces an uncertain future.

They better get the CSRB right on that. Oh no!- theconversation.com/trump-has-fi...

Yeah. That one has a Graflok back. It's visible in the last image for the listing.

YouTube video by Ari Jaaksi - I Shoot On Film Lomograflok film back for 4x5 sheet film cameras -- a biased and overly opinionated review!

That camera is a Graflex Crown Graphic 4x5. It may or may not have a Graflok back on it. You'll want to mMke sure it has a 4x5 Graflok style back and not the spring back. As for whether to get a Lomograflok Instax film back for it. I'd watch this video first- www.youtube.com/watch?v=de8U...

From FT comments

STRVNGERS and MUDVAYNE look like the names of Ikea furniture.

Lomography has had success with their weird color shifted film offerings, so my guess is Harman wants to tap into that market. It seems like mainly younger/newer film photographers who like the novelty of it. Me, I only care about the b&w films, but I support whatever helps to keep them in business.

My guess is they’ve reordered the color emulsion layers. (Hence the “switch” name.)

It's time to switch it up with our brand new film HARMAN SWITCH AZURE

Available in both 35mm & 120, SWITCH AZURE 125 allows you to flip the familiar on its head & turn the everyday into something strange

Ukraine has already solved this problem with highly effective, small, low-cost interceptor drones that work against exactly this type of Iranian drone. They’ve offered to help the US and allied Gulf states to defend themselves.

When “school shootings” happen so often that the editor’s spell check autocorrects to it from “school bombing”.

The original IAEA report is available here- www.iaea.org/sites/defaul...

Iran boosts highly enriched uranium production: IAEA Iran has ramped up production of highly enriched uranium, according to a confidential UN watchdog report, as Tehran said Saturday that it had received US proposals to settle its long-running nuclear…

Fwiw. The IAEA made this information about Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles (up to 60% which is not anywhere close enough to be used in a nuclear weapon) publicly available in a report from May of 2025- www.france24.com/en/live-news...

Thanks!

Ukraine has already solved this problem precisely against the same types of drones being used by Iran. They have openly offered their assistance, but so far I haven't seen the US acknowledge or accept the offer of help.

What's the name of the café?

I mean… welcome to the club of the past 4+ years of russian attacks on Ukraine.

Would love to see something like this as a series/theme in the actual Onion @bencollins.bsky.social

Amusingly, the US/allied journalists are using the same excuses we hear from the russians about it just being "debris" from the drone after a successful interception. Clearly that is not the case. bsky.app/profile/ms.n...

That's bullshit. You can tell from the sound of the strike that it was a direct hit. This wasn't "debris". bsky.app/profile/theu...

Those russians and their smoking accidents.
