A lot has happened in the past 3 months. My mom becoming ill and dying in that time being the most surreal occurrence. Parallel to her becoming ill I began work on my first serious piece of art in years. An elegy to her it will be exhibited at Broad and Belvidere Contemporary Art this month. #Art

Just in case you didn't know this, I just want to emphasize that the medical system in the United States is a fucking abomination.

Life and death and all the shit in between is really something. I feel like screaming, but there's not even an echo to hear in this void.

Ya know. It really stinks when you're using a pipe tap to clean the vent hole threads on a 100+ year old cast iron radiator, and despite using tool oil as well as being as gentle as possible, said tap breaks off in the hole. Now I must remove the 200 lbs. radiator and see if I can get the tap out.

The Spanish Inquisition was a Christian enterprise. History shows that "Christian values" (or any values for that matter) are not much of a moral impediment to people that want to do heinous things.

You know it's tremendously demoralizing to be a 51 year old who finds a kernel of funny amidst this accelerating hellscape in which we live only to be told by a younger friend, "yeah, I've seen a bunch of stuff like that" as they shake their head in mild annoyance and with a semblance of pity. 😔

Definitely worth 2:48 of your time. youtube.com/watch?v=WsAP...

Needs a big ol' zerbert if you ask me!

My buddy surreptitiously had me talk to an app. I did not know he was setting me up, but I have to admit, the result is pretty funny. The shitty part? AI will be the end of us.

The beer months are not coming, they're here!! Happy #caturday everyone.

Whenever you think we're in "Late Stage Capitalism" and see things like this, it dawns on you that "Middle Stage Capitalism" has a lot left in the tank.

I have a bad feeling shit is about to get very weird in the next week or so.

Just finished up dinner and put the leftover pasta sauce in the fridge. I know there are others out the like me who get waaay too much pleasure out of picking the exact right size container for leftovers. Tremendously satisfying. That is all I have to say.

Attn: @womensartbluesky.bsky.social I really despise not being exposed to interesting artists because they happen to be women, or the "wrong" race for that matter. www.hauserwirth.com/ursula/26214...

As somebody who has been an academic, educator, and Pennsylvanian for the better part of their life, I'd love to know @seanmcarroll.bsky.social thoughts on WPSU shutting down due to government cuts and lack of will by Penn State. cc: @jenlucpiquant.bsky.social www.centredaily.com/news/local/e...

I'll just leave this fact of history here for people to ponder.

Happy birthday to the rad woman that is Fiona Apple.

I feel like we are crossing the Rubicon into the land of Debordian spectacle Debord himself could barely imagine.

I have the uneasy feeling that the Orange Guy is gonna have a "State Funeral" of sorts for Kirk.

Capitalism has reached the point where its biggest problem is living breathing people. The next 20 years are gonna be a hoot.

Yes. AI sucks. But, and this is a very big but, when used correctly it can be pretty dang good. Hopefully this brings a smile to your face @wendyo.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=93J8...
