Open WP Admin From The Command Line
I use WP-CLI for pretty much everything these days. And since I am more and more working from a Linux system and thus practically living on the command line, I wanted to have a quick way to open WP Admin right there.

Joan Westenberg makes a great case for why you should run your own blog:
We’re not going to get a better internet by waiting for platforms to become less extractive. We build it by building it. By maintaining our own spaces, linking to each other, creating the interconnected web of independent sites that the blogosphere once was and could be again.

2025 Retrospective
In 2025 I archived 13,975 photos, 4,077 of which I marked as favorites. (2024: 16,217 archived, 4,633 favorites). That is the smallest number since I have been actively tracking it. One of the main reasons is probably that I am attending fewer events as a photographer.

🎬 The Surfer
At various points, I felt like this movie might ride a more surreal, illusionary wave. But that never happened. And this is why I felt there are some shortcomings in the plot and characters. But otherwise this does a really effective job portraying the terror he faces. It's a bit like Funny Games. Not as drastic, though. I liked how this all played out in the same place throughout the movie. I'm still not quite sure what the movie wants to say. But that's ok, and might be intentional anyway.
🎬 It Follows
Solid horror movie. I liked the obviously Carpenter-esque soundtrack. And also how the "creatures" looked like and how the movie looked and felt in general - more like an 70s/80s horror film. But I found those "creatures" not menacing enough and the story was a bit so-so in the end.

This was really entertaining. I think it all looked great, the Creepers are well done - and are really likeable - and the acting is fantastic, too. Sure, it's over the top, but that fits the movie well. Robert Pattinson's performance it's just perfect IMO. But also Mark Ruffalo's and Naomi Ackie's. I like the whole idea of the film, and its whole vibe. It's funny, too. Would watch again!

Like these kind of absurdist trip kind of movies. Leo is fantastic, and so is everyone else to be honest. Although I found Sean Penn's character Lockjaw a little too over the top. Two scenes that I will certainly remember: First, how the car chase at the end is filmed. Haven't really seen anything like this. Second: that stunt and whole sequence where he falls down between two buildings trying to jump the gap, then still gets up, only to get tasered around the next corner. As impressive as it is hilarious.
