      This kind of thing is what I hoped Starmer / Rayner would bring to British politics. Fingers crossed for Burnham. 

Small acts like this are how you win the popular vote.

      This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

      Finally got around to tweaking my webcam & key lights whilst the wee man was sleeping. 

Now I just need someone that is handy with lighting to tell me everywhere I’m going wrong. 

Feedback welcomed!

      🚨 Cool website alert: ditherit.com

Upload an image and experiment with different dithering algorithms, either to reduce the filesize of an image or for artistic effect. 

Examples in thread! 🧵
      My main profile photo uploaded in the tool. The left side is the normal photo, the right side is black-and-white, using the Floyd-Steinberg dithering algorithm; by strategically placing black dots on a white background, my likeness is preserved, and the filesize is only 11.5% of the original. It's also quite a cool-looking effect!
