The Sting is one of my favorite movies. He had an amazing career playing pretend, and his like will not be seen again. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

I wrote a column about how the anti-science movement and associated conspiracy theories are an insult to Pittsburgh's rich history. I'm sure you can imagine how well conspiracy-minded and anti-vax yinzers are handling it. www.pittsburghmagazine.com/anti-science...

A day that transcends generations.  This September 15th, on Roberto Clemente Day, tune in to our first ever Spanish broadcast with the voice of Roberto Clemente Jr. The legacy is lived… and heard 🇵🇷

Cool tail on a cool squirrel.

"Ares - God of War" Probably the first quasi-serious thing I did. Reasonably popular on deviantART back in its early days. Popular enough that I've had to file several DMCA letters for various misappropriations. Including a book cover by Stephen King. (But not *that* Stephen King.) #Art #Painting

A view from yesterday morning and what might be one of my favorite images of the Iron City clock in #Pittsburgh. I actually captured this one from a few blocks away, and I think it's kinda cool how the clock just looks like it's floating above the South Side.

Found this thing I did in my archive from when RFK Jr. was confirmed. I wish it were funnier than it is, but he's really going to kill us all isn't he? But I really blame the fools that voted to confirm him in the face of all they knew about him already. #FAFO

Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and taste.

Not really sure when those headphones would have been stylish. Certainly before everyone started doing away with the 3mm headphone jacks. #Art #Doodles #Nostalgia

Man of Tomorrow. In theatres July 9, 2027

Remember when people were salty about #HailHydra before it turned out that Captain America being a fascist was more prescient than we would have liked.

54 years ago, history was made at Three Rivers Stadium as the Pirates fielded the first all-minority lineup in MLB history. Today, we joined the Heinz History Center and local leaders in honoring those players with a permanent historical marker on West General Robinson St.

I originally intended this to be a preliminary sketch for a larger piece. But after living with it for a few days I actually like it as is - scrappiness and everything #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolorpainting #watercolorcityscape #cityscape

Sunday morning, coming down.

Four hours of sleep. Yeah, today's not gonna be a good day.

Damn sleepless nights.

60 degrees outside. AC is off and the windows/doors are open. For mid-August, this is beautiful.

Tonight is a good night for tea. Decaffeinated, of course.

Happy Radio Day. Don't stream (unless it's a station). www.daysoftheyear.com/days/nationa...

Happy Photography Day (albeit a little late).

We've been to one of these. At least it gives us someplace new to visit next time we're in the 'Burgh. www.pittsburghmagazine.com/pittsburgh-m...

Fucking Windows.

Today is National Vinyl Record day. If you got 'em, spin 'em.

Apparently, there's a meme going around Bluesky about going 13 days without chocolate. Try being allergic to cocoa. It's really easy to go without chocolate.

Osaka at night was very modern yet tranquil too.

Goodwill find over the weekend: Wind & Wuthering by Genesis on CD. Looks like an early pressing so the dynamic range is excellent. Your Own Special Way is one of favorite Genesis tracks.

Sunday morning chai, as seen by the crappy tablet camera.

She's so beautiful.

Every day, I wake up with a song stuck in my head. More often than not, one I didn't listen to the day before. Today was Dancing Days by Led Zeppelin.

So... they basically reinvented 45s, yes? consequence.net/2025/08/tiny...

Recently got some film back that I shot at Kennywood Park and I think I may exclusively shoot film there. The vibe just could not be more perfect, and these images just make me feel like I'm back there as a kid.

Happy National Root Beer Float Day. Do you put the ice cream in first, then add the root beer, or do you pour the root beer and add the ice cream?

S is for Sunday. It's also for the sausage sliders I just made for breakfast.

"He gave up and shipped off to Arlington in 1955, an early officer in what would eventually become the National Security Agency. (He is believed, during that time, to have invented vodka Jell-O shots.)" this story from 2014 is absolutely golden

I believe the word for 2025 is "Cornsweat".
