Woman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man's Meta Smart Glasses on Subway A New York subway rider has accused a woman of breaking his Meta smart glasses. She was later hailed as a hero.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Carl Bogner took me to lunch there right after I moved to Milwaukee. That and Circle A let me know I could survive a few years in town. :(

You wanna see the work I put into my “Worst 2025s of 2025” listicle?

The cover of the 1967 album Alice’s Restaurant by the American folk musician Arlo Guthrie, next to a working record player.

As an 🇺🇸 in 🇨🇦, we did not do a big meal today - that was taken care of Saturday when I made Apple Pie and we had Turkey at a friend’s house.

But my kids aren’t escaping this Thanksgiving tradition.

RIP Jimmy Cliff.

I watched this film at least 50 times after tracking down a VHS copy circa ‘97, when that was still a feat and I was still in a dorm. I’ll be revisiting my introduction to the man and his music again soon.

Look, I’m not Pueblo’s finest. It’s best we know where we stand.

Morning listening…it’s the repress from ~1984, hyping the hit.

Kastner’s clothing store at 27 1st east, Cornwall, Ontario. The store is in an early 20th century 2 story white brick building. A sign hangs on the front displaying the stores name in black sans serif upper case font, with each lefter on its own white panel.

That didn’t make the cut - too pricey. I had to get Poco.

Welp, sent off a new feature experimental-doc to the first batch of festivals today. Now to wait and see if it has any wings. It definitely has a lot of 🐦 on-screen and in the soundtrack.

At 72 min, my longest finished project by a country mile. 🦋 🦋 🦋

It’s okay to be glad that restaurants are doing stuff like this AND absolutely furious about the utter failure of the United States government.

Paris is always a good idea.

This is him. Never looked it up before, but wondered if that drawing was of his eyes. That checks out.

The cover of the 1985 studio album Let the Night Last Forever by Belgium based Danish musician Walter Christian Rothe.

Current Mood™. Why yes, it is 1985 ambient music from Northern Europe made by a composer/engineer, why do you ask?

Belgium? Yes, only released in Belgium originally.

This one’s headed out today, and I’m conflicted. But, the herd must be culled. The title track is stellar (even with the pan flutes), but each of these legends reached greater heights elsewhere. One last spin.

Day 29: singer born in October

I almost went with someone who attended my high school (Bob Weir), but instead opted for my dad’s favorite musician. Couldn’t pass on this duet performance.

But Smooth Operator features an Elmo St-1200!

I was coming here for the same purpose

A three story brick apartment complex named “Modern Court” is shown in closeup with leaves covering a walkway leading to its front entrance. The photograph is in Black & White.

I’ve always liked the convention of naming small apartment complexes. Somehow, I’ve walked by this ~1930s complex in my neighborhood without recognizing the name. Seemed fitting for B&W.
