A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top. The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements: Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below. Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam. Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground. Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched. The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.

The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.

Follow along!

Good morning Bluesky

Today, as we see ICE fascists target brown and Black people, beat, arrest, and kill them, deny due process of law, & we see centrist politicians respond with calls for "more training" (instead of the right answer to abolish ICE) — we remember when Dr. King, warned us about the "white moderate."

ROMEO: I dreamt a dream tonight.
MERCUTIO: And so did I.
ROMEO: Well, what was yours?
MERCUTIO: That dreamers often lie.

Are we getting closer?

"Simpson’s estate has accepted a $58 million claim from Fred Goldman, an amount that far exceeds its assets."

'It won’t be $58 million plus interest, but it will be a voluntary payment. That’s the point,' the estate’s executor, Malcolm LaVergne, said Monday.'"

The estate doesn't have that money, and it states in the article that the Goldman family will probably end up with $500,000-$1,000,000.

Fair is foul, and foul is fair

Loved your review (as always), but I have absolutely no enthusiasm for this camera (that film sim dial? no.). I do have both the X-T30 II and X100V though. Big fan of the X-Trans IV sensor.

Kodak Quietly Begins Directly Selling Kodak Gold and Ultramax Film Again Kodak appears to be taking back control over the distribution of its film.

this is very cool: Kodak quietly relisted Kodak Gold and Ultramax on its website and confirmed to me it is selling the films directly to photography stores again. this is a big deal because for the last decade, Kodak has not controlled distribution of its own film

I voted for her for governor, but nothing about her campaign was inspirational.

Abigail is also lame for criticizing Mamdani's proposals. Gov't ownership? Liquor stores in VA are state-run (is she looking to repeal?). We also have free bus service in several cities, including my own Alexandria.

It’s not because of her though. It’s because she’s the Democratic candidate running against a whacko Republican in a state bordering DC with federal workers, contractors, and ordinary residents hugely impacted by the insanity of the current administration.

CIPA Shows Camera Sales' Summer Slump Worse Than the Last Two Years Tariffs are having an effect, but how big of one remains to be seen.

"For most people, cameras are luxury items, and those are harder to justify purchasing at even higher prices due to tariffs or when the economy is generally more unpredictable."

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

Today, I review the fastest SLR of its time, Nikon FM2n:

www.analog.cafe/r/nikon-fm2f...

The FM2/FM2n is also Nikon's second-longest-produced SLR (19 years!) Its unique all-mechanical titanium honeycomb shutter is what made testing HP5+ pushed to ISO 100,000 possible.
