20.10.2025 22:20 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I was walking down a street in New York and I thought how lovely it was, with the trees and the light. Tried to take a photo and this came out. Itβs incredible how blind we become to the ugliness of cars. They really do mess things up. Yet somehow we manage to filter them out.

Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate.
Look at the double standards.
Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy.
This is America.
I was very, very happy to see the Friedrich retrospective at the Met this year. One of my all time favorite painters

Reminds me of Game 1 of the 2010 World Series when I spotted Buzz Osborne of the Melvins in the stands at AT&T Park β I knew right then the Giants would break their own curse. Divine intervention.
I'm still not used to the paved paths and manicured lawns surrounding them. When I was growing up, they were just plopped in the middle of a dirt lot adjacent to a truck stop.
The gift shop inside the Apatosaurus was pretty fun.

It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.
