Great tournament so far in terms of football... despite a corrupt #FIFA bending over for a criminal & corrupt wannabe dictator in a dysfunctional #USA. It's as if all teams were sick of all the shit that's going on in the world and just wanted to play! Who'd have thought? ⚽ #FIFAWorldCup

The fire alarm has sound and a firetruck is leaving to answer a call during an otherwise uneventful evening. June 2026. #ChicagoNocturnal #firetruck #nightshot #Chicago #photography #cityscape

We have a dysfunctional country right now and a shitty government, but at least we have a good soccer team. Great game by the #USA national team! USA 4-1 Paraguay. #FIFAWorldCup

A man once said: I may forgive but I never forget. (It's me. I was that man)

It's sunny in Chicago, and although it's still a cold winter day, it compels people to go out for a stroll. View of Millennium Park. December 2025. #Scape #skyline #Chicago #MillenniumPark #photography #cityscape #winter

The real Shakira died some time after the 2010 #FIFAWorldCup in South Africa. The person we see today is one of several clones grown in a bio-tank at FIFA's secret lair and brought out to sing at the tournament. Waka-waka forever!

Yesterday's storm in Chicago started with 80 mph winds, and caused some destruction. It uprooted a centenary tree in McKinley Park, which upended the sidewalk and crashed a car. Fortunately, it didn't fall on the house across, it just slammed the fences and garden. #Chicago #storm #ClimateCrisis

This #FIFAWorldCup is on track to be the worst one ever. ICE is, unsurprisingly, harassing referees, players and fans from non-white countries at the airports.

We men certainly understand when women are signaling their romantic interest toward us. We always get it. Two to three Olympics later.

Early 2000s summer hits were sometimes basic, sexist and derivative... and were so damn danceable! Perfect songs to party anywhere on Earth, which I did. Jump in! #ItJustWontDo #TimDeluxe #SamObernik #music #dance #house

Have you ever thought how wonderful life would be if we didn't overthink everything? I think about it day and night! ; )

American men, what's stopping you from dressing like this? #USA #revolution #NoKings

I met a microbiologist yesterday. He was much bigger than I expected.

An omelette is possibly the dish I like best for breakfast –and I don't mind skipping lunch when I have one. A simple dish but elegant and flavorful. The one in the photos is fit for a teenage boy's appetite. #omelette #cooking #breakfast

It has been raining frequently in the Red River Gorge, in Kentucky, and rivers and streams are well fed. View of the Creation Falls in late afternoon. March 2026. #Scape #CreationFalls #RedRiverGorge #Kentucky #photography #travel #waterfall #forest

Yesterday's biggest achievement: I bathed the cat.

I need some sun. My post-winter skin is whiter than a John Wayne movie.

Expectations of cooking with your significant other: romantic, bonding, sexy fun. We hand feed each other. Reality: I was using that! And please get out of my f***ing way! #cooking

An unremarkable building in a small town becomes iconic thanks to a colorful and somewhat abstract mural on its side. This is Beattyville, by the north fork of the Kentucky river. March 2026. #mural #art #Beattyville #Kentucky #Americana #photography #travel #cityscape

2 am: So many good ideas! I'm unstoppable! I can achieve anything I put my mind to! 2 pm: But not today.

Hot season is here and that means making Gazpacho Andaluz, a refreshing cold soup for the torrid summers of Southern Spain. It blends tasty and nutritious Mediterranean vegetables –tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and garlic– with olive oil, vinegar and a little bread. #gazpacho #cooking #Spain #soup

There was a king once who was exactly 12 inches tall. He was a terrible king, but a great ruler.

A barely visible firmament over nocturnal glare Racing lights feeding the city arteries Dwellers going to places or going nowhere A locomotive horn asking to come ride to an unknown destination A western breeze and the murmur of tight-packed humanity looking up feeling lonely all together in sync

One day, out of the blue, Ruth broke up with me and hurt me badly. I decided that I'd never let another woman take advantage of me. I'd never be vulnerable for anyone again. I became ruthless.

Republican politicians are like leftovers that you forgot to put in the fridge: if they are not rotten already, will be soon. They may seem okay now, but eventually will make you sick.
