Apple on orchard floor

New Mac Studio up and running. Much better Lightroom and Photoshop experience. Stacked and blended 3 photos for better focus with the projection lens.

Medium white apples in the red basket of an apple picker.

Close up of the pink blush on a medium sized white apple. The apple is slightly conical and has a bug spot in the middle of the blush).

Stem end of a white apple with pink blush. There skin is green around the stem, but there is no clear russet.

Fellow apple nerds: are there varieties that consistently ripen with white skin (and a pink blush)? I had initially thought this was a Winter Banana, but the genetics don't match (they don't match anything in WSU's database), and it is too white and too soft. Photos from fall 2022

I'm looking at creating this setup. What focal length were you using?

Oswald+Ruch

Wild, keeved, Swiss.

Not a single brain cell.
My boy, Pippin.

Pippin.

The new cat, Pippin.
Pip.
Pip, pip, pip it up.
Piperoini. (Sometimes with cheese)

I was lucky enough to get to one of the Give Up & Transatlanticism shows in Seattle.

This loser admits she doesn't use her real name when she uses AI to write books and doesn't reveal they're AI. Which means she knows it's wrong and she knows it's shameful and does it anyway.

The New York Times thinks that's neat though! Unsurprising that this toilet paper rag aligns with hacks

Fuuuuck

Art+Science does a good job at that.

Today's email was a great surprise!

Only 10TB x 8 in RAIDZ2 😆

What I’m currently running.
Also got a DAS today for my new Mac I’m getting.

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in.

*Reads:* "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

Fuuuck.

The limited supply of RAM also affects SSD pricing...

Damn.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Did you get parentage?

This is not who we are. I became an ICE agent because I truly believed in the value of getting a $50,000 signing bonus to violently assault and terrorize anyone I wanted while never getting in trouble for anything. Being held accountable conflicts strongly with my deeply-held personal beliefs

What do these companies have in common?

All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And all have broken that promise.

I guess we’re calling him Pippin.
Actually not my idea. @scotttilted.bsky.social @elliecavalli.bsky.social

I’ve been wanting to do some alt. photography for a bit. This isn’t helping. lol.
I’d have to do digital negatives and get a UV light source.
