Is the sign of the #Rapture or #philly wildlife? Hoping the latter…Praying mantis has been on the appropriately named insect screen for two hours. They only live for about 9 months so I’m honored to have this much time with it.

@stereolabgroop.bsky.social #Stereolab you will always have my heart. The Groop played #Philadelphia and I think we’ve converted them into lovers of the City of Brotherly Shove. Go see them on tour in your city for a sonic sensation.

Going to #Morrissey tonight. I paid 10% of what I pay to see #TheSmiths but the feud is stronger than the need to cash-in.

Need a break from our brutal reality? Go see #TheBaltimorons A quirky, Indie romcom that is well written and acted. And I promise you won’t get crabs during the movie. @jayduplass.bsky.social #Cinema

Finally an article that makes me feel seen. I appreciate urban vernacular elements. This article showcases the concrete blobs that emerge from bodegas for primarily delivery ease, but all benefit.

Having successfully managed tier one where IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH, the Trump administration with its use of the National Guard and ICE is pursuing the FREEDOM IS SLAVERY tier. Orwell would be astonished. He may come back from Alaska with WAR IS PEACE completing the Ministry of Truth holy trinity.

In the heatwave of the moment, I finally discovered the municipal pool near my studio. It’s barebones (concrete with no seating) with awkward hours, but it does help beat the heat. Nice to see so many smiles on the local kids.

One more death blow to the USA. There’s no turning back from the downward plunge our country has taken. Greed and fealty is our downfall.

Trump is so over his head right now. His policies are written by others & he follows along with an angle toward self- promotion & personal gain. Domestically it works for him, but foreign policy-wise he always gets played. He really has no idea what to do regarding foreign affairs to our detriment.
