Do any #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm makers of #trichrome know if PS #Elements will let me drop separate images (made with filters) into the R, G and B channels? I usually use #AffinityPhoto instead of PS, but the way of doing this in AP is SO convoluted it makes my head hurt. Every time I look at it and think, I just don't understand that! Not stumping up for full PS (where the process is relatively simple, I believe), but Elements might not be too bad if it can do it.

In addition to relationships with #Thiel and #Yarvin,
#Vance is also in close contact with the 
bottom feeders on the far right.
For nearly two years, according to The Washington Post, Vance was in regular conversation by text message with
#Chuck #Johnson,
a notorious Holocaust denier who has spent the better part of a decade promoting right-wing conspiracy theories.
And as my Michelle Goldberg wrote this week,
Vance is close enough to #Jack #Posobiec
— an alt-right lunatic who pushed the vile and absurd Pizzagate conspiracy theory
and collaborated with online neo-Nazis to spread antisemitic hate
— to blurb his latest book, a polemic devoted to the idea that liberals and leftists are #Untermenschen who must be stopped lest they destroy civilization.
“As they are opposed to humanity itself,” Posobiec and his co-author, Joshua #Lisec, write,
“they place themselves outside of the category completely, in an entirely new misery-driven subdivision, the unhuman.”
These are the friends and influences that JD Vance brought with him to the United States Senate, and these will almost certainly be the same friends and influences he’ll bring to the White House if he is elected vice president.
The single most troubling thing about Senator JD Vance
— his bizarre understanding of the work of J.R.R. Tolkien notwithstanding
— is his close relationship with some of the #most #extreme #elements of the American right.
When asked to explain his worldview, Vance has cited his former boss, #Peter #Thiel,
the billionaire venture capitalist who has written passionately against democracy
(“I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible”),
and #Curtis #Yarvin, a software developer turned blogger and provocateur
who believes the United States should transition to monarchy
(“If Americans want to change their government, they’re going to have to get over their dictator phobia”).
Yarvin has also written favorably of human bondage
(slavery, he once wrote, “is a natural human relationship”)
and wondered aloud if apartheid wasn’t better for Black South Africans.
While Vance’s admirers see him as a uniquely intellectual presence in American politics
— a thinker as much as a politician
— his right-wing, #authoritarian views are largely derivative of the views and preoccupations of Thiel, Yarvin and their community of “#postliberal” ideologues and #reactionary venture capitalists.
Take Vance’s view that the United States is in a period of Romanesque decline.
“We are in a late republican period,” Vance said on a podcast in 2021.
“If we’re going to push back against it, we’re going to have to get pretty wild, and pretty far out there,
and go in directions that a lot of conservatives right now are uncomfortable with.”
Compare this to 
Thiel’s view that “liberalism” and “democracy” are “#exhausted,”
and that to restore the nation
“we have to ask some questions very far outside the Overton window.”
Is this a call for new tax cuts, or does it represent a fundamental hostility toward popular constitutional government in the United States?

Of course, the idea that some #asteroids are so dense that previously unknown superheavy stable #elements are needed to explain them is absolutely bonkers.
The funny bit is that some physicists would actually rather postulate new superheavy elements than believe that astronomers made a mistake in estimating asteroid #mass because it is really hard.
It really is kind of a compliment for astronomers.

Zinc was probably given its name by alchemist Paracelsus, from the German word Zinke meaning "tooth-like, pointed or jagged", because zinc crystals look a bit like Needles.
