strong uptick lately in instances of “professional semi-acquaintance who looks like me comfortably reveals his lazy, bigoted politics in conversation, receives courteous-but-effusive pushback in response, aggressively and promptly ends communication.” Sorry champ.

This is a great one. Goddamn cornfield in the side yard 🌽

A digital illustration of a blond man with an out of date haircut and a mustache wearing a gray sweatshirt with blue and red stripes at the shoulder. He's talking into the handset of a Garfield-shaped telephone, the body of which sits on a small table next to him. The overall effect of the rendering is cruddy and grimy and weird. Cruddy red lettering that maybe looks like it was done with a paint roller to the right of the frame reads 'Maybe it will happen today'. (If you'd like to attempt to make some bit of sense of this one try searching for 'I have to reform the ninja empire' and follow the rabbit down the hole.)

“Crackdown” is a lousy and loaded word choice in this hed. Gotta do better.

Busy day at the bee factory 🐝 @crown-bees.bsky.social

Hand-painted window art of a great white shark rising up from the water, playing a red accordion between its pectoral fins. Truly magnificent stuff. In the corner of the image, a yellow sun shines and looks on, smiling sweetly.

Happy 50th to JAWS, an immoveable slab of bedrock deep in my movie soul. Current window art of the Romagnoli Accordion store in Oak Lawn 🦈

There should be a newspaper that is good.
