Housewifing the shit out of it
Nice color!
@snarkout that's really why I said yes!
@snarkout ditto on the color!
Noice!
Is that from the 70s?

During the height of the ICE occupation here in MPLS, some of the singing resistance efforts were aimed at telling agents they could change their minds and leave.
Waiting for these to show up in Utah to echo the Leaving Mormonism billboards.

My favorite frame from today's shoot. This is Nico. Nico saw me photographing my kids at the skatepark back in August or September and approached me asking if I'd like to do some photos together. We shot a few frames in that park and I took his portrait. Really warm, kind human.
A couple of months later I reached out and asked if he'd be interested in doing some portraiture for one of my classes. He immediately agreed. We did some wild light painting and acrobatic stuff (he used to do Capoeira). It was a really fun shoot and we agreed to do more in the future.
Jump to about a week ago. I was talking to my team about maybe getting in touch with him for a shoot on the coast for our project. The very next day he reaches out to let me know he's back from Argentina. It's either a universe thing or he's the life force behind targeted ads.
Today's shoot was so much fun. We emulated some iconic shots from J. Grant Brittain and played around on these breakwater blocks. He's not fearless but close to it. Very balletic, yoga-etic, punketic, etc etc.
Among many talents, he's a tattoo artist as well. I plan to work with him on a piece soon.

that's awesome, and a great connection you made. nice when the good ones just pop up in the wild.
this is a really lovely pic; the composition is exquisite, and i especially love that you resisted the urge to directly center him. really beautiful color palette too. that gentle gradient from the sky down to the sea is *chef's kiss*
unsolicited advice from someone who is obviously not as good a photographer as you, but part of me would want to either push the shadows deeper so he's a bit more of a silhouette, or blow out the shadows a bit so we can see the detail of his tats and musculature.

adding to the love: the angles you chose to include in frame with the concrete barriers are just fascinating. contrasting him against this sea of angry triangles that the concrete barricades make up is such a cool concept
@nikkuneko thank you so much! I agree about the shadows. Iβm going to tweak that a bit.
So beautiful and iconic. Hard to stop gazing at this!
Agreed, really great composition -- the lines of the breakers all point toward Niko and his board, which echo those forms back.
This is terrific.
Extraordinary shot and story. This rules.

From the yt description:
Film created by Massive Attack (working with US photo artist thefinaleye). This montage work portrays a momentous American epoch that is yet to be named, and comes in the aftermath of the largest public protests in American history - focused on opposition to ICE raids, the militarisation of domestic forces, and state authoritarianism.

I can never remember terms for these (and most of the descriptions either) so I love things like this that help nudge my brain to a better understanding.
@bubbalumpkis I'm positive I've seen a list of logical fallacies here on MLTSHP before, maybe someone will kindly repost.
@WikiAdam Not really designed for meme-ability or mnemonics, but this is a good reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
I know just enough about the dunning Kruger effect, that I'm pretty sure I know everything I need to know to tell you all how it works.

A photograph taken in space that shows Artemis II's Orion capsule on the other side of the moon and Earth is peeking out from the other side of the moon. Orion, The Moon and Earth, all in the same picture.
Somehow I missed this shot, incredible capture

A two panel image: the left side shows two worn and rotten landscaping timbers, one in tiny pieces like mulch. The right side shows two bright new Timbers on either side of a bed of basil seedlings
Got a new pair of landscaping timbers in place of the soft-and-shredding old ones. Much nicer. Hereβs to another year of basil jungle!
I gave up and have just been using sticks that fall off of our maple tree as a border, but this does look really nice!
@travis Canβt say I blame you! But since the biggest trees we have in our yard are young dogwoods that are shorter than I am, I donβt have majestic tree branches to use as borders and have to cough up a few bucks every, oh, decade or so, it seems, if I want to keep wooden borders on this spot.
Was tempted by tiles/stones/pavers, though.

a fake toy in a plastic blister-pack on a custom-made cardback by artist ObviousPlant. the bright, colorful illustrated cardback has the feature title "GET IN LOSERS" and the subtitle below it "WE'RE GOING TO...". in the center is the toy itself, a red molded plastic steam engine with a simply drawn cartoon man with a hat. below that is more text, reading "GO LIVE A SMALL AND QUIET LIFE THAT IS unremarkable yet meaningful to ourselves and the chosen few who shared it with us." in the background of the cardback is an idyllic countryside with a number of characters, saing "toot toot!" "tickets please", "all aboard" and "do not lick the train!"

Comic panel of a woman in a red dress bringing a covered dish to a man in a suit seated at a table.
Above the inscription reads: βLARGE JET-PROPELLED AIRCRAFT WILL BRING BIG GAME HUNTING IN AFRICA AND SWIMMING OFF THE SHORES OF THE RIVIERA WITHIN REACH OF WEEKENDING AMERICANS.β
And below, another reads, βELECTRONIC COOKING--ELECTRONIC COOKING--TO REDUCE THE TIME OF COOKING DINNER FROM MINUTES TO SECONDS--AND ULTRASONIC WASHING-- TO CLEAN CLOTHES IN SECONDS WITHOUT A DROP OF WATER--WILL GIVE ADDED LEISURE TO THE AMERICAN HOMEMAKER.β

THIS is the future I wanted. Technological advances giving me more leisure time, not "oh, you have more time so lets load you down with more work to do!"
I'd love the ultrasonic clothes washer. Save water.

I'm re-reading Foundation by Isaac Asimov, written in the 50s. He predicted electronic calculators with red LEDs and fingerprint reader security, and that was just in the first 100 pages.

Video review of an old passenger train on which the youtuber turns out to be nearly the only passenger. Despite the outwardly decrepit appearance and the lack of some modern amenities the ride is nicer than he expects.
Watching this with my spouse and slowly came to realize that my dad was involved with the design and delivery to Taiwan of the railroad engine in this video (prominently shown in the thumbnail) when he worked for GE in the '70s.
And now this is some of the last footage of the E200 series in operation, the video explains they'll be retired later this year, making this a bit more bittersweet than I expected.
The youtuber (Simon Andersen) reviews passenger trains around the world and is far more entertaining at it than you would expect, even if you're not a railfan. He brings wry humor and directness (and, when appropriate, empathy -- such as when riding Albania's national rail). And of course the scenery is usually fascinating.

Panel from a Donald Duck or Uncle Scrooge comic. A dejected-looking duck, Donald's cousin Gladstone Gander, with a fancy... haircut?... and wearing a suit and bow tie, sits among the ruins of a smashed chair or throne on a dais. There is a battered hat next to him. In the background, Donald and his nephews are standing in front of a crowd, howling with laughter. Gladstone is thinking, "How awful to be a deposed monarch! How terrible to sit in sackcloth and ashes while ragpickers cheer at my downfall!"

St. Louis hardcore band Squint performing at The Sinkhole, April 15, 2026.
Caught a little midweek hardcore show this evening at The Sinkhole featuring local band Squint and Buffalo, NY's Spaced (previously - https://mltshp.com/p/1RC5N -- I'll look through those pics in the morning).
I was a bit grumpy that it started early enough that I missed the other local openers (walked in during Direct Measure's last song) but then I got home about seven minutes before a pretty gnarly storm rolled in, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

A tall figure wearing a suit and a top hat stands on top of a craggy mountain on a dark, cloudy night. The figure is holding a lantern that illuminates the rock with an eerie green light. In the distance is the blurry outline of another mountain. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
