my street photography images from the chicagoland speedway tire test on april 21st are now available to view on my website (and instagram) so i may as well upload them here too locuraphoto.squarespace.com/chicagoland #photography #streetphotography #motorsportsphotography #NASCAR (1/3)

Movies were probably so fun back when everyone wasn't desensitized and irony poisoned

look im not saying scrolling on twitter is GOOD, but theres actual studies that measure cognitive effects of different platforms, and these studies found that stuff like youtube and twitter have a negligible effect while stuff like tiktok and reels noticeably make you dumber.

being suicidal feels pointless when you know youre not going to do anything about it

some people don’t realize how long stress can live in your body. you call it being ‘tired’ until one peaceful moment suddenly makes you realize you’ve actually been anxious for months.

no one tells you how lonely it feels to keep reassuring yourself. ‘it’ll get better, just hold on. after a while, even hope starts to sound tired

you ever realize your personality changes depending on how emotionally safe you feel around certain people

I don't want to work anymore

would it be crazy to say that the way people view morality on twitter is genuinely causing people nowadays to develop moral OCD or am i onto nothing

How do legacy auto makers come up with some of the most beautiful designs of all time, and then when it comes to making an EV they just shrug and draw a car that looks like a Waymo studied abroad in Florence and won’t shut up about it.

@TCPW21 @TheJesseJames55 @RodDelCampo at the end of the day, i spent my post-coke 600 twitter scroll seeing heartfelt reposts of a popular winner that had incredible connection to a driver who just lost his life... and you spent it seeking out people in the comments being racist to be mad at. that's all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@TCPW21 @TheJesseJames55 @RodDelCampo to that i still say "so?" people r gonna be dicks, that's a way of life it's another thing to take that and let it influence your own feelings and your own mood people like that likely won't budge, so why even waste your breath focusing on them instead of those happy for daniel?

Daniel Suarez winning the Coca Cola 600 is one of the biggest Mexican wins in Auto Racing, alongside Pedro Rodriguez winning Le Mans, Pedro and Memo Rojas winning 24h of Daytona, Checo Perez winning F1 in Monaco. And I love how much it’s pissing off NASCAR “fans”. LFG.

ah thank you i was almost out of hypothetical scenarios to obsessively worry about

@TCPW21 @TheJesseJames55 @RodDelCampo also, who cares? as individuals we can choose to take in our own opinions of the race without making a beeline to social media comment sections to consume as much discourse as possible personally i'm elated daniel won so i chose not to try and squander that happiness for myself

@TCPW21 @TheJesseJames55 @RodDelCampo is it not also weird to scavenge comment sections for reasons to make yourself mad? my entire timeline was either praise for daniel or irritation that the race got called, so i guarantee that "someone" you found is a minute fraction of comments that you've let take your mind over

Get into sports if you like seeing the worst possible scenarios somehow always happen

what would you say is your address in your opinion

bro is the tormented one. bro is the bearer of the curse. bro is the anguishing vessel. bro is doomed by the narrative. bro is fucked.

Honestly... with a former KBM driver, running with the team and number Kyle won with in Trucks last week, holding off JGR cars to do it, you probably couldn't script it better. Wish we got all 600 in, but I can't imagine many fans will be mad with the result.
