Bluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Stepping Down Venture capitalist Toni Schneider will take over as interim CEO as Bluesky’s board of directors hunts for a permanent replacement.

Hope this means good things for this platform. Graber will focus on tech stack while the new ceo will focus on growth and scale.

Received today: Dear Valued Customer,

We want...to address the sudden increase in heating oil prices ...we understand how frustrating this can be...The recent spike in heating oil prices is largely being driven by instability in global energy markets related to the ongoing war overseas.

The Emotional Saturation of William Eggleston’s “Last Dyes” In the David Zwirner exhibition "The Last Dyes," the intensity of color in the photographer's dye-transfer prints is rarified and precise.

You can read about the exhibition in Aperture.

Funny, this ads uses a quote from The Sound and the Fury and it's one of the most memorable, yet, in the novel it's entirely ironic and the person remembering it commits suicide (sorry not sorry for the spoiler), making the entire ad a disconnect for me. It's otherwise beautiful.

This is a cool list of 100 best movie theaters in the world, though missing the tiny gem, Theater De Uitkijk in Amsterdam. These places (Like @filmforumnyc.bsky.social in NYC) are the heart of the movies to my mind.

Seascapes | Fraenkel Gallery

I don't know if I love Sugimoto's Seascapes more for the placid beauty, or just knowing that he created them: they vaguely remind me of Bartlebooth's project in "Life A Users Manual"

Cover-Up (2025) He's devoted his career to uncovering stories the powerful want buried. From My Lai to Abu Ghraib, dig into the life's work of journalist Seymour Hersh.

What’s great doc! Poitras’ films are consistently well done and this one feels as timely as ever.

yeah DD-X can get expensive with that 1:4 ratio and as I understand it, it “smooths out” the grain. I love grain, though I’ve tried Rodinal and it’s too much the other way (in my opinion), so hoping HC might be the sweet spot.

Thanks!

That’s fantastic! I would not have thought a half frame…

How big can you print with that?

Also, you prefer DD-X, I see. I like it too, but. Have been thinking of moving to HC-110b, if you have any thoughts.

Sorry for the questions!

They used to (mostly) only have thirty movies playing with a film added and a film expiring each day. It was great! I used to watch whatever was expiring, which was a great way to discover something you might not otherwise see or even think about.

5/9. This is unsurprising. The Russians and the Chinese also try to prop up Trump. Everyone outside the US knows that he weakens the US.

Wow, was just listening to this, too! Just discovered it yesterday and was intrigued by the combination of Vaughan Williams and Muhly, in particular. It really works and is a great album, I think. Amidon’s vocals!
