IS DEMOCRACY

MANIFEST

A US state is currently trying to restrict what books a prisoner can have. Hasn’t passed yet, as far as I know, but I’m guessing that’s the genesis of this particular dubious question.

I’d love to be a photography professor, but that just might be my desire to have a stable photography gig with a steady paycheck and not having to deal with galleries and critics.

I have zero interest in the Bible beyond the initial curiosity that led me to read it 30 years ago. Once was enough.

If the only books available to me are the texts of world religions, give me the myths and sagas of the Nordic peoples. At least they invented the modern novel and have stuff that’s entertaining to read.

AURORA BOREALIS?! At this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your warehouse?!

Good, fuck him. It should easily be twice as long. His brand of “content” is a cancer on the wider internet and should have brought him serious negative consequences long before this.

I hoped it was Zlad!

Her written voice is like nails on a chalkboard. I kept scrolling down to see how much was left.

Whoever hired her to write this, please never do it again.

If there’s a BMI exec there and they want to be a complete dick, yup.

Yeah, it would be a fuck you, but what would it get Palestine practically?

No internationally recognized state, so unable to back any issued currency. Unbacked currency won’t be exchangeable in any country’s banks. Palestinians stuck with useless paper they can’t spend on anything, while their govt spends resources it doesn’t have to print millions of pieces of paper people have no use for.

Stop Israel from murdering them and reinstate their place on the earth. Then we can worry about a fiat currency.

Yeah, don’t get me wrong, they’re a great bit of kit for certain purposes. There are some shots that are easily 50% simpler to get having a drone.

But those specific instances are still so far between that unless your photo business is built around selling those shots to people, its just an unnecessary extravagance.

I’m a professional photographer. I regularly carry 2 or 3 camera bodies when working that probably cost 5 of your drone.

I still have zero need for my own drone. That’s a very specific style of photography with a small community of enthusiasts.

Not necessarily. Parody allows for a “percentage changed vs original work” when deciding whether copyright was infringed. Al was always perfectly within his rights to do the parody, but he’s a stand up guy and tries never to do a song that the original artist didn’t approve.

Unless you’re using it for a specific purpose (surveying, content creation, videography) they’re still a niche product that most average consumers have never come into contact with, except in stuff they watch, so naturally they’ll be curious.

Don’t let what the internet tells you about people influence your expectations without first testing them in the real world. Life depicted online is not an accurate representation.

Never thought I’d see the day when blindly pro-Christ America threatens the Holy See with the murder of the pope and the creation of a heretical antipope. Was definitely not on my “Crazies of 2026” bingo card.

I’m not Palestinian, so of course take this with a grain of salt, but it just seems to make sense to me to use the currencies of the societies that your people are currently intertwined with, right?

Would forming a new Palestinian currency have any positive impact right now when half the world would refuse to accept it on the basis of there not being a Palestinian state to back said currency?

Surely has nothing to do with covering their ass against 2 attacks and counting on Sam Altman’s house.

“Quick! Do something empty and demonstrative to make the plebes happy before they murder us all!”

You can register an email address as “jigglypuff666forever” or whatever nonsense you want. The government certainly doesn’t give a shit, and as long as your family and friends know that a specific string of numbers and letters means “you” in the address book, why does it matter?

If you’re worried about professionalism, I don’t really see much difference between “johnqpublic@email.com” and “greenthumbmcgee@email.com” except one tells the world your full name, and the other just gives away that you like gardening. Both are equally G-rated and acceptable, but only one is a security nightmare.

Maybe common, but not advised. The only place I willingly follow real name protocols in emails is in dedicated work intranets where corporate policy dictates how addresses go.

Anything on the open web is anonymized as much as I can make it. Fake address, fake user details, everything. There is no privacy in systems connected to the unrestricted internet.
